Are you ever in need of marketing materials but don't know how to quickly create them yourself?
No worries! I want to tell you about my favorite tool that I use every day - Canva. It's FREE and very easy to use!
Let me show you how to easily create a design in less than 5 minutes.
Step by Step - Creating a Instagram Post
1. Choose Design Dimensions
To start click create design on the top right and it will show you different design suggestions.
In the screenshot below you see different suggestions, such as Instagram story, Facebook Post, Facebook Cover, Logo and more.
I will choose instagram post for the purpose of this quick guide.
Once you select your design, you can choose from templates on the left.
I searched for transportation and found one that looks great for a post! The yellow one that says "Need to rent a car?"
I changed the yellow to Moovs blue, and also changed the text to make it fit to our industry. It's nothing fancy, but it took me less than 2 minutes. Same goes for the first image above. You can create great creatives so easily these days and most people don't even know about it. We used to have to pay expensive designers for a flyer or email design. Now you can just use Canva and they do most of the work for you.
Once you play around with this design tool you will realize how easy to use it is. You won't have to pay expensive designers anymore and can create marketing materials in minutes! Just look at museflow, the app for piano learning uses canva for their blog images and save a lot of costs by not hiring an expensive designer for everything.
I hope you have a great rest of your Thursday and a successful weekend with a lot of rides :)
