“Target conversion rate: 25%”
“Peak hours: 12:00–15:00”

Best Practice:
Keep text short, clear, and actionable
Use line breaks or bullet-style formatting (if supported) for readability
5. Adjust Text Formatting (Optional)
You can customise:
Text size
Text alignment (left, centre, right)
This step is optional but helps improve readability and visual hierarchy
Best Practice:
Use larger text for key messages
Centre-align for KPI highlights
Left-align for instructions
