# Rich text

The **Rich text** section displays promotional text with custom layout and size, as well as optional images, video player, buttons, and other content and style blocks to design this section to your liking.

This section is great to welcome customers to your store, promotional content of all kinds, announcements, and more. It looks great between two image-focused sections.
