A Whole Month of Content Batched For You
Okay, so you've got your morning coffee, you're cozied up, and you're ready to dive into the magic of batch content creation with our Canva templates. But before we jump into the nitty-gritty of designing, let's talk about something that can make your life as a small business owner a whole lot smoother: planning.
Picture this: Instead of scrambling for content ideas at the last minute or trying to conjure up the perfect post on a daily basis, you've got a roadmap for your entire month. That's the power of these Canva templates, my friend!
A quick snapshot of our Monthly Content Packs:
Content Calendar: There is no more guesswork on knowing what to post and when! When you open up these templates, each piece of content is labeled with what it is and when to post it. We always keep in mind important holidays or times of the year and the content that correlates with it.
Content Prompts: We pull these templates from some of our favorite and highest performing Canva Template packs that we have created and tested. Each template comes with a general idea or prompt to help get you started, so you aren’t scrambling for content creation ideas.
Visual Templates: Each post is designed with Instagram in mind - and you don’t have to worry about keeping up with trends or formatting. Ww do all of the hard work for you. All you need to do is customize it with your branding, images, and overall brand vibe.
Caption Templates: Just like with the caption prompts, anything that gets posted to the feed, you get a correlating caption. We don’t want to leave you hanging high and dry.
Trending Songs: For the Reels templates, we have also given you songs that accompany the vibe and visuals of the template - again, no more guesswork or scrambling to find the perfect audio.
With a well-thought-out plan in hand (a content plan created by social media experts), you're not just saving time; you're freeing up mental space for creative inspiration. You'll no longer be caught in the dreaded "content crunch" because we’ve already got a strategy in place for you.
How to Batch an Entire Month of Content
Now, since we have the content batched for you, all you have to do is take a few hours and customize it all! Here is the exact process you should follow:
STEP ONE: Open up the two Canva template designs (the vertical design for Reels and Stories, and the Portrait design for feed posts and Carousels)
STEP TWO: Go through and customize both designs with your branding. Remember to switch out all the fonts, the colors, your logos, the images, and the videos. Feel free to add or delete elements to make sure the design fits your brand
STEP THREE: Go through each of the visual slides and fill in the prompts and complete the content ideas
STEP FOUR: Once all of your visuals are finalized, it will be a lot easier to customize the caption prompts
STEP FIVE: Export or download all of the visuals and import them into your favorite content scheduling tool. We prefer to use Later, but there are so many great tools out there! You can also use the native scheduling tool in Canva, and never have to leave the app!
