Not everyone will be a master in digital marketing.

Not everyone will have an idea about using social media to grow their business.

That was the exact case when a conventional fashion apparel business owner contacted us. She was on the verge of shutting down her business, had very little online presence, her shop was actually boring and her hopes were dying. And she only had a very little budget for digital marketing.

Analysing the situation we quickly came to the conclusion that the only way forward is organic growth because there was no budget for the paid ads.

We started an Instagram profile for her since most of her customers were on Instagram. At this point, we made a big decision to drastically change the fate of her business. Instead of handing over all the responsibility of creating the content, we created a simple puzzle feed template in Canva.

For people who don’t know what Instagram puzzle feed templates for business are, they are templates that contain a grid of images that are organized in an aesthetically pleasing manner, and you just need to choose images, content, font and colour that best matches your brand or style.

And for people who don’t know CANVA yet,

CANVA is an unbelievably powerful graphic design app. It’s a simple, intuitive design studio for all your graphic needs, from app screens to Facebook covers to illustrations.

Here are some of the CANVA features: – A simple drag-and-drop interface so you can create amazing designs with ease. – Thousands of templates in hundreds of layouts, which make it easy to create great-looking graphics, fast. – Icons and fonts to personalize your work. – Drag and drop photo editing. – Create custom shapes and text styles with just a few clicks.

– Optimized mobile access means no more squinting on small screen devices! For all types of content creation, you will get templates, free images, free elements and everything you need.

And the best part, the dashboard is so intuitive that you can learn the design in a matter of minutes.

And this is exactly why we used Canva. It was easy for our client to create multiple puzzle feed posts from the exact same template we made.

And in the beginning, she used the free version of Canva. So she was not spending a dime for that. She continued using the free version until her business grew exponentially. The point is Canva pro can make your designs mindblowing but anytime you can start with the free version and benefit massively benefit from that. Even when you decide on the pro version you can start with the free trial first.

Even though she was not a technology person, she learned to add the images and started customising the puzzle feed templates in Canva in a day.

Thus from day one her business profile looked very professional. She started posting old images of her customers.

She added testimonials.

She added her design stories.

For many posts, she got less than 10 engagements.

One day she got a call from an old customer.

She said that she came across the Instagram post where the dress she bought was featured and she sent different images of her wearing that dress on the biggest occasions of her life.

At that point,

At that exact point, my client knew, this is not marketing, this is me having deep conversations with my loved ones, my customers.

From that day her content creation changed. The attitude in her posts changed. The mindset changed. And thus started the transformation of her business.

In the beginning, old customers started purchasing in low numbers.

Then they started buying frequently. Then they started referring to their friends and families.

Her posts started getting more engagement.

More than that her posts started creating more conversations.

At this point, we were helping her in creating other posts apart from the puzzle feed posts. That too was Canva templates, so that she can change the content easily and use it multiple times.

Long story short, she is now giving jobs to many women from financially struggling backgrounds. She is helping young entrepreneurs in starting their businesses. She has her own manufacturing and designing units. And she is earning millions per year. And it all started from an Instagram puzzle feed template which she reused a dozen times.

The story of the Ultimate fashion bundle template in Etsy

He was an expert in fashion. That’s why he started his own fashion business. And he bootstrapped. Most of the things were done by himself. From designing to selling and after-sales support, this was a one-man show. But when the business started to take off he couldn’t handle everything. So he slowly started to expand. He hired a team for Designing, manufacturing, sales and after-sales support. Since he thought that digital marketing and content creation can be done by himself, he kept that. Also, he planned on saving a lot of money on graphic designing and digital marketing.

But things were not that easy.

For making every design he had to spend a considerable amount of time. Some designs were not performing. Since he was given more time for designing, he got only a few hours for networking and managing his business.

At one point the business got so messy that he thought of winding up his business. That’s the time we started working together. His requirement was very simple. He needed design templates for every occasion. For sales, offers, testimonials, featuring products, for different social media, for different post types, Instagram puzzle feed templates for business etc.

And he wanted the templates in Canva so that they can be easily changed and multiple posts can be made.

We made more than 375 templates for different occasions. And this was a turning point for him. Making content was now easier than ever before. From the first day, he started saving ten times more time. And this time was used for managing his business, networking and training his team. Now with all this time, he was getting a clear picture of his vision and he started taking his business towards that.

One thing he requested when we met for his success party was to make that ultimate bundle available for everyone.

” It will help everyone, just like it helped me,” He said.

That’s why we made this as a product and made it available for all businesses. We firmly believe that this will help cut the massive cost of graphic designing and will free time for the entrepreneurs to start focusing on their vision.

How to make social media content for a year using Instagram templates

We are explaining this by using one of our Instagram puzzle feed templates as an example. We have created a design template that you can easily edit and divide into 15 posts. The beauty of this design is such that each post created in these 15 posts will have an individual existence. All the content will be complete. So you don’t have to post all the content in one day. You can post one post per day and when all the 15 posts are complete it will give an amazing overall style also.

Thus in a year you just have to change the image and content in the template 25 times.

Say you don’t want to repeat the designs.

Then you can purchase different templates and change the content. And if you don’t want to purchase multiple products, you can simply buy the ultimate bundle where you will get more than 375 templates. So you can use a different template every single day.

What to do after the design is done?

You can schedule the posts for Instagram all at once. Even though we don’t suggest you schedule content for 1 year all at once, it is possible.

And the reason we don’t suggest scheduling the content for one year is that there will be things you want to communicate with your audience on the go. Also as per the field, you have to update the content as you go forward. So it is better to schedule for 2 – 3 weeks maximum. Even after scheduling we highly recommend you to have constant interaction with the customers on your Instagram page.

If you are looking for some online tools to schedule your posts, here are some of them,

Sendible

Fixing the final problem

After these years of consulting many people and businesses, there is another problem that should be addressed. Even after purchasing these templates and learning to design them in the most effective way, some people stop creating more content.

And the main problem is content writing.

Many find it extremely difficult to write content for their social media. May it be for creatives or for the description of the post.

Finally, we found a way for solving that problem also.

And the solution is Artificial Intelligence.

Yes, we helped our clients with software that can automatically create high engagement content for them to use. And its name is JASPER.

Jasper is an AI-driven social media content creator that lets you turn your words and thoughts into valuable marketing material. With its “click once, publish everywhere” capabilities, it’ll take care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on what’s most important – making connections with customers – without the hassle or expense of having humans do it all for you.

It takes only minutes to create content for social media and other marketing needs. Powered by artificial intelligence, Jasper uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enable you to have a team of humans or bots working for you without hiring anyone!

With Jasper, many of our clients started creating more content and eventually started getting more engagement and sales.

We told our clients to use Jasper whenever descriptive or tutorial type content is to be created. Use it for training or knowledge transfer. But when a connection is to be created, when emotions should be communicated, write yourself with your broken words and it’s okay.

Hope you have learned the way to create content consistently, how to connect with your customers and how to bypass the problem of content creation. Implement it in your business and always feel free to contact me for any help.

Good Luck!!
