Huge Announcement: Our Secret Project is Revealed!

Episode 396: Show Notes

Spoiler alert! This whole episode is a giant spoiler alert because you are finding out something before it launches – and we are stoked! We are seven days out from doing the biggest thing since our signature program came out. We hope for your sake you’re listening to this after the launch so you don’t have to wait seven whole days for it. And we can tell you, we’ve been working on this project for more than a year, and we were pretty sure it would be a huge surprise to all of you, so we wanted it perfectly polished.

We’ve given it tons of thought and came up with the solutions for all your design worries. If you’re not a graphic designer and are always fretting over getting your branding right and looking professional, don’t worry, the dark days are over. Tune into this episode for the big reveal that will be a game-changer for your business in 2020! 

What Inspired Us To Create The Creative Template Shop

The thing that you need to be paying attention to – that will knock your socks off – is the launch of the Creative Template Shop! If you’re not as great with designing marketing material, social graphics, website templates and everything that makes your brand big, beautiful and converting, then this is the place to be in 2020! Being a photographer and graphic designer, we could use our education to make our own brand look amazing from day one, so in that way, we were very lucky. What we started noticing with the thousands of students we’ve worked with is that we help you with strategy and get you going, but once you get successful, there’s a need for you to start refining your brands and how you appear to the public. We reckon when branding and designing isn’t really your thing, you shouldn’t spend a lot of time doing it, and that’s where the Creative Template Shop comes to the rescue!

More About The Shop And What It Means For Your Business

When we launch, you will have over $2,000 worth of incredible templates at your fingertips. You’ll be able to go in and look at any individual template, buy it, and it’ll immediately download to your computer. You’ll be able to edit and customize it as you wish – changing fonts, colors, and so one, but we do a lot of work for you already. So, you might tweak a few things here and there, but for the most part, it’s ready to go! But, and here’s where it gets even better: we are including a membership option which means that you get access to every template we currently have in the shop and those we’ll release in the future. And get this, we’re releasing four new templates every single month. Right out of the gate, you will have access to social media templates for Facebook and Instagram that go along with beautiful visuals, and also things that will help your clients process your offerings. We have two components right now: an opt-in template so that you can create a beautiful value-add freebie that’s going to allow people access to you, your brain, and your offering. You also get access to our course, Opt-in Like A Boss, for free, when you get access to that template or with access to the membership. In there, we walk you through deciding what your opt-in should be, how to connect it to your email provider, and how to follow up to convert them into someone who is going to work with you. Plus, we’ve got website templates built for Squarespace with a program to guide you through exactly how to set it up and teach you to use Squarespace on a deeper level. We’ve got pricing guides, client experiences, eBooks – so many good things loaded in the shop already. 

Proud To Be A Boss? Show It With Our Merch!

So, we want you to be proud of the fact that you are the boss and in charge of your business. It’s not “girl boss” or even “boss babe”; it’s just “boss” period! We thought it would be fun to celebrate you showing up in your business, so there are some t-shirts, coffee mugs, and bags. With a shop membership, you also get 10% off merch! 

Why This Shop Is A Game-Changer For Many Of You 

Some of us are really creative with decorating, painting, or anything non-digital, but once we get to a computer and are asked to design something for our brand, something just always seems to be missing. So, while you might get the layout down, it just doesn’t end up looking professional. Buying graphics is an option, but then your brand also just looks like many other brands and you don’t have that unique feel to yours. Right now, on the Creative Template Shop, everything is integrated with Canva to actually create your workbook. Upgrading to Pro might actually be worthwhile because there are additional helpful features. While Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator are good programs, they’re made for the professionals and can be confusing for those who don’t have a graphic design background. Canva is super intuitive and easy to use. We have specific collections that are suitable for different types of brands, for example, a bright, neutral and soft collection. In order to look professional from a branding perspective, you’ve got to look cohesive. When you show up consistently and your various platforms match, you give the impression of being trustworthy, and clients will be more drawn to you. The new templates we will release each month will all be available in the different collections, so you will be able to continue building your brand consistently. 

The Launching Date And Awesome Giveaways 

On January 14th the shop is opening and we’re doing giveaways all through launch week. Right now, though, you can go to creativetemplateshop.com and there you can sign up to be notified how to get inside, what the benefits are and what extra things we’re adding for the month of January. During the launch kickoff week, we are having the best giveaways including one free annual membership, three individual monthly memberships, a few of our new merch items and all sorts of other cool stuff. We’re also gifting a free special template that’s only available to members. We are so excited about what this is going to do for small businesses all over, and for our community! We look forward to chatting with you about new templates and what your needs are, so let us know over on Instagram.
