Placeholder

Placeholder text is like a little whisper inside your input box — giving customers a quick hint about what to type. It shows before the customer enters anything, and disappears as soon as they start typing.

Example: If you have a text box for custom printing on a tote bag, your placeholder could be:

"Your name" or "Enter your text"

Why it’s helpful:

  • Gives a clear idea of what’s expected.

  • Shows the correct format or style of the input.

  • Reduces mistakes and follow-up questions.

💡 Pro tip: Keep placeholders short and specific — think of them as an example, not an essay.
