Marketing examples

Two posts, taken apart.

Both from the Scoops N' Smoothies account. The brief behind each one, what got made, and the choices that shaped it.

The flavor count post.

10 flavors, 13 toppings

The shop kept getting the same question in comments and at the counter: what flavors are in right now. This post exists to answer it in one screen, so nobody has to ask again.

Counts set in the heaviest type on the page, readable at feed size without opening the post.

One scoop shot instead of a grid, so the eye lands somewhere before it starts reading.

Address and hours along the bottom, because the next question is always where.

The P.B Lover launch.

Product launch

P.B Lover smoothie bowl

A new bowl going on the menu. The job was to let the toppings do the selling before anyone reads a caption, since most people scroll past the text.

Ingredients circled and labelled on the bowl itself, so the build is obvious at a glance.

Product shot fills the frame, with no background styling competing with it.

Name carried in both the graphic and the caption, so a screenshot still says what it is.

Method

How a post like these gets made.

Brief

Start with the question

Every post answers something the shop is already being asked, in comments, in messages, or at the counter. No post goes up just to fill a slot.

Idea

One idea per post

If it takes two sentences to explain, it becomes two posts. The single idea is the part that survives a fast scroll.

Build

Made for a phone, not a desktop

Type sized to read at arm's length in the feed. Product shot first, words second, shop details where people look for them.

After

Check what it did

Reach, saves, and shares logged in the week after, with a short note on whether the format is worth running again.

The kind of shop this is for.

Small food and drink counters. A short menu, a regular crowd, and an account that has to turn a scroll into a walk in.
