Collateral Mastery (Flyers, Websites, Social Media)
Master the art of creating impactful marketing collateral with minimal resources, focusing on flyers, websites, and social media.
Branding Essentials
This section covers how to create clean, consistent branding, flyers, a lean website, and social content without wasting time or money.
Micro Brand Kit Setup
Start with a wordmark or logo—just brand-colored text unless an icon helps. Stick to 3 colors: primary, secondary, accent. Use one heading font and one for body copy.
Choose 3 voice pillars (e.g. helpful, modern, no-cost convenience). Core promise in 10 words: “24/7 fresh food & essentials. Zero cost. Zero hassle.” Below that, list proof points like number of installs or average margin.
End every asset with a consistent CTA: “See a mock-up. Book a 10-minute walkthrough. Scan QR.”
Flyer, Website & Social Content
Flyer formula:
Headline — “Self-serve market for your apartment/office/warehouse at no cost”
Visual — before/after photo or mock-up images
Benefit blocks — 24/7 access, no staff, healthier options, optional rev share
Contact strip — name, phone, email, website
Final CTA: QR code + short link
Website sections:
Hero — headline, subhead, image, “Get a Mockup” button
Problem/Solution — 3 pains, 3 fixes, each with icons
Gallery — real install photos or GIF loop
Timeline — inquiry → mockup → contract → install → burn-in
FAQ accordion — cost, theft, maintenance, reporting
Social proof — logos or short quotes
Footer — CTA and full contact form
Batching Social Media
Batch 30 days of content:
Reels: before/after installs, 10–20 secs with text overlays
Carousels: “What we stocked today” — drinks, snacks, fresh, impulse, fun
Quote/stat graphic: “Cut snack runs by 80%”
Behind-the-scenes: FIFO restocks
FAQ post: “Is it no cost?” “How do you stop theft?”
Interactive: polls — “Orange vs. Lemon Lime?”
Local tie-ins: seasonal or game-day bundles
Cadence: 2 Instagram/Facebook posts, 3 stories, 1 LinkedIn post weekly. Repurpose everything to TikTok Shorts.
