Before you go

  • Save your most used DesignLumo prompts in a private library; you can generate new assets in seconds without rewriting copy.
  • Always export layered files (PSD or SVG) so you can swap propertyspecific images via merge tags without redesigning.
  • Add UTM parameters to every CTA button in your email graphics; track performance in Google Analytics to quantify ROI per visual.
