You are embarrassed to share your social media feeds with friends, family, and big clients or customers.
If you aren’t proud and looking forward to showing off your business marketing with the people close to you - or worse, your potentially big clients and customers… It’s a sure sign it’s time for a change. Social media templates can help you elevate your brand without any additional time or energy spent on learning graphic design.
Our social media templates are professionally designed by brand designers experienced in entrepreneurship, content creation, and digital marketing. We take the hard work and long hours spent on the brand design and content marketing process, leaving you with a beautifully branded feed you can be proud to share with anyone and everyone!
You struggle to post to social media consistently.
One of the top reasons most entrepreneurs and professionals struggle with social media is because of time and understanding. It takes a long time to design a post from a blank page that looks good, hits your marketing objective, and includes all of the elements for conversion. It also takes a long time to learn about the different platforms, experiment with post types, stay updated on all the different algorithmic changes, and manage your content and engagement…
All while actually running the business!
The only secrets to social media success are consistency and aligned messaging. And that can be tough to balance when you’re limited on time. Social media templates can help by providing content and/or content inspiration that’s quick and easy to customize, download, and post.
All you need to know is what your social media goal is for the day - do you want to inform? Engage? Relate? Brand? Sell?
From there, you can find a template that meets that goal, edit to your needs, and get it posted.
This easy, rinse-and-repeat daily process simplifies social media marketing and brand design with every template.
Bonus tip: If you really struggle for computer time or if you just want to use your time as efficiently as possible, try planning all of your content for the week or for several days in advance. Block out time to plan out your posts, create and download your content, and schedule your posts using scheduling tools within the platform or a social media scheduling/management app like Planoly, Later, or even directly in Canva!
You want to get more content out there… but when it comes time to get it done, you have post paralysis.
Have you ever heard the saying: “Give a man a fish, he’ll eat that night. Teach a man to fish, he’ll never go hungry.”
You don’t need it done for you… You just need a little guidance on how it works. Working with templates gives you time to ease into the content creation process, and it gives you ideas of what types of things make great content.
Our social media templates are designed to help you learn how the content creation and social media marketing process works so that YOU have total control over your brand. The image shoppers hold of you in their mind is customer perception. Branding is the secret to directing the way customers perceive your business in order to generate interest in your products and services. But it only works when the visual brand and marketing messaging are aligned, consistent, and cohesive 100% of the time.
Our templates give you that fully cohesive brand while offering a great selection of expert content to help you build your social media strategy and content creation muscle. Simply using the templates will help you establish your content strategy, develop high-converting content, and speak to your clients in a way that strengthens trust and drives sales.
Social media is easy! (But graphic design is not my forte…)
If you’re a pro at posing and engaging, but you’re struggling with getting your message out there aesthetically… Our social media templates are made for YOU!
Our top priority is customer success. That means giving you a professional product that does what is says and is easy for you to use - that’s what really saves you time and elevates your brand. It means not only do our designs need to look 100% professional and cohesive, but also work for the newest newbie all the way to the most advanced expert. We considered margins and optimized sizes, easy element grouping spacing for customizations, and maintaining a consistent brand.
If you are a pro at social media marketing and management but you want to level up those design skills, our social media templates are for you! (Bonus: you still get all the benefits of ready-to-post content as the cherry on top 🍒)
Your social media profiles make your product/service quality and customer experience look bad.
It’s really not too hard to create an unappealing social media feed, unfortunately. There are a lot of really great, high end products and services out there that never got the success they deserved simply because the business’s branding didn’t match their level of operation or customer experience. Sure, you save money doing it yourself and there are plenty of tutorials out there… But how many dollars are you losing by choosing not to invest in your brand design and marketing strategy? You may be losing more than you’re saving.
Your business’s visuals need to be consistent with the level of quality and professionalism you provide to your clients or customers.
Think of social media as your virtual office or shop. When your ideal customers walk through the doors, they need to be consumed with everything that tells your brand story and that they love about your industry. And you need to maintain that across your entire online presence - social media, website, personal brand pages, etc. Anything related to your business needs to look and feel like your business inside and out.
But we get it… we’re all trying to maximize profit, and hiring brand designers and marketing strategists can get pricy. If you’re cutting costs for whatever reason, branding and marketing templates meet you in the middle. At JC Creative Media, we give you an iconic visual brand with expert level content to help you elevate customer perception. But you get to edit, change, and customize the content to suit your marketing and branding needs.
Remember, you’re never not branding.
Your brand is what your customers say about you when you’re not in the room. So if you’re not telling them how to perceive their brand, they will make their own assumptions guided by comparison with your competition. By not building a solid brand, you’re not controlling the directive or the outcome.
Our social media templates help you take control of that perception and boost your competitive edge. We’ve designed a brand that tells an aesthetic story about who you are, what you do, what you offer, and why you do it while boosting brand recognition, customer loyalty, and trusted professionalism.
You’re procrastinating learning social media marketing (or you’re intimidated by what you’ve already learned.)
If this sounds like you, you’re actually in the perfect place. You know that social media marketing is important and that it’s different from personal social media use. But it’s a whole new skillset, and you don’t really have the time, energy, or potentially money to invest in figuring it all out.
Hi, we’re JC Creative Media - that’s what we do!
Our social media templates have everything you need to get started with social media marketing the easy way. Our templates are more than just pretty designs - they’re a fully functioning strategy. That means you can work social media like a pro without really understanding exactly what you’re doing - at least not at first. ;)
Over time, you’ll start to see patterns. You’ll notice some posts perform better on different platforms, some posts lead to higher conversions, some posts lead to account growth, etc. With that knowledge over time, you’ll learn how to speak to your audience in a way they respond to. This type of strategy development puts you in control of your business’s growth and success, because you can use it to direct the brand. Directing the brand directs customer perception. From there, it’s all about speaking directly to your ideal customer/client, showcasing your expertise, and being unapologetically relatable.
Our social media templates offer this (and so much more) to help you build a strong brand from iconic visuals to strategic marketing.
