# Invoice Marketing Messages

Invoice Marketing Messages allow you to display custom promotional or informational messages directly on the invoices you send to clients. Each message is tied to a date range — when the current date falls within that range and the message is active, it automatically appears on printed or electronic invoices.

This feature is ideal for:

- Seasonal promotions and holiday greetings (e.g., "Thank you for celebrating with us this holiday season!")
- Payment reminders or deposit policy notices
- Upcoming event announcements or service expansions
- Customer appreciation messages tied to specific periods
- Cross-sell or upsell opportunities embedded in billing communications

How to set up, Invoice Marketing Messages:

1\. On the left side panel, go to **General Setup**

2\. Click on **Marketing**

3\. Select **Create and Edit Printed Invoice or Marketing Messages**

If the New Entry option was clicked, select the **Start Date and End Date for the message, and enter the Message in the text field.**

###### **Field Definitions**

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Start Date** | Date picker | The first date on which this message will appear on generated invoices. Invoices created before this date will not show the message. |
| **End Date** | Date picker | The last date on which this message will appear. After this date, the message stops printing automatically — even if Is Active is still ON. |
| **Message** | Text area | The promotional or informational content to display on invoices. Can be a short sentence or a multi-line paragraph depending on invoice layout constraints. |
| **Is Active** | Checkbox (checked/unchecked) | Master switch for the message. Must be checked for the message to appear — even if today's date is within the Start/End range, an unchecked Is Active will suppress the message. |
