Candle Brand Campaign Launch Checklist

Write a concise prompt that includes the scent name, key notes, and brand palette, then feed it into DesignLumo (https://www.designlumo.com). Within seconds you receive a fully layered Photoshop file: editable text layers, vector icons, and background textures. Apply your Brand Kit to swap fonts and colors in bulk, then export PNGs for Instagram and JPEGs for email. Track CTR on the first 48 hours; brands typically see a 12‑18% lift versus static stock images. This workflow eliminates the 3‑hour manual design loop and guarantees brand consistency across assets.

Prompt Midjourney with season‑specific adjectives (e.g., "cozy autumn candle lounge, amber, muted teal, soft lighting") and generate 8‑10 high‑resolution images. Import the outputs into Photoshop, arrange a 1920×1080 canvas, and add transparent overlays for text placeholders. Use the "Match Color" adjustment to align the palette with your brand guidelines. Save the PSD as a template for future collections. Measure internal approval time; teams typically cut review cycles from 5 days to 2 days using this visual reference, accelerating time‑to‑market.

Select Canva's "Holiday Gift Guide Carousel" template, replace placeholder images with your DesignLumo‑generated scent graphics, and insert copy that highlights price, scent profile, and gifting occasions. Leverage Canva's Brand Kit to auto‑apply fonts and colors, then export each slide as a 1080×1080 PNG. Schedule the carousel via Later or Buffer, monitoring swipe‑through rates. Brands report a 9% increase in average order value when the carousel includes a clear "Add to Cart" CTA on the final slide.

Draft a 15‑second script that teases the new scent’s top note and invites viewers to "Swipe up for the launch." Upload the script to Lumen5, choose a dynamic template, and import the DesignLumo graphics as background layers. Add an AI‑generated voiceover, then export a vertical MP4. Publish via Meta Business Suite, tagging relevant hashtags and setting a launch date. Track Reel views and link clicks; a well‑produced teaser typically yields a 2.3× higher click‑through rate than static posts.

Prompt DesignLumo for a 600×200 header that marries the new scent’s color palette with a concise tagline. Once generated, unlock the layered PSD, replace placeholder text with your copy, and add a CTA button linked to your Shopify product page. Export a web‑optimized PNG (<150 KB) and upload to Klaviyo (https://www.klaviyo.com). A/B test two headline variations; brands often see a 4‑6% lift in open rates when the header reflects the scent’s unique story.

Create four carousel cards in DesignLumo: hero scent image, scent note breakdown, lifestyle scene, and limited‑time offer. Export each as 1080×1080 PNGs, then upload to Meta Ads Manager. Write concise primary text (≤125 characters) and a strong call‑to‑action. Set targeting to interests like "home décor," "self‑care," and lookalike audiences of past purchasers. Monitor ROAS daily; a carousel with AI‑generated visuals often outperforms single‑image ads by 1.5–2× in conversion cost.

Use Google’s Campaign URL Builder to tag every launch asset (e.g., utm_source=instagram, utm_medium=story, utm_campaign=fall2024). Feed the resulting URLs into a Google Data Studio report that pulls from Google Analytics and Shopify sales data. Set up tiles for CTR, conversion rate, and revenue per channel. Alert thresholds (e.g., CTR < 1.5%) trigger Slack notifications. Brands that implement this real‑time view cut underperforming assets by 30% within the first week.

Generate two visual concepts for the same scent using DesignLumo—one with a minimalist layout, another with a rich lifestyle backdrop. Upload both versions to Optimizely (https://www.optimizely.com) and run a 2‑week split test on your product landing page. Track metrics such as add‑to‑cart rate and average session duration. A clear winner typically shows a 5‑10% lift in conversion, informing future design direction and reducing guesswork.

Create a Notion table with columns for promo code usage, new subscriber count, churn rate, and LTV. Link the table to your Shopify analytics via Zapier automation, updating daily. Add a rollup formula that calculates CAC vs. LTV for each campaign. Review the dashboard weekly; brands that monitor these KPIs can iterate offers to achieve a 15% reduction in churn within a quarter.
