CANVA YOU MUST TRY IT!

What is Photoshop again? A big thank you again to Digital Marketing and Communication class for the introduction for this life hack! Was I going to learn Adobe Photoshop? Of course not, this opportunity presented itself at the right time. Firstly what is Canva? Canva is a tool loaded with enough easy to use features and functionality that anyone can create with a variety of engaging content that gets shared (Mansfield, 2016). In my opinion images and exciting visuals are very important to social media and marketing. Like myself, if you are an aspiring entrepreneur or business owner that cannot afford to pay a graphic artist to design artwork and promotional flyers then Canva is the best tool to use. For businesses old and new images are key in marketing as the old saying goes “a picture is worth a thousand words especially in online marketing” (Mansfield, 2016).

MY TOP FIVE CANVA FEATURES WITH MY THREE SAMPLE DESIGNS :
1.)    Preloaded Images – Sample pictures to use for editing and designing.
2.)    Layouts and Templates – A variety of sample images for different social media platforms which are free.
3.)    Fonts – Wide Variety of font options to use.
4.)    Custom Images – Users can upload or design on images and layouts
5.)    Storage – Canva offers ways to store and save images created in folders so your work won’t be lost.

In marketing, company’s use email marketing to try and develop relationships with their customers both potential and existing. A positive for email marketing is to keep a company’s customers well informed about their newest products and services and even releases of the latest discounted sales promotions. It also allows a business to tailor their marketing messages to their customers  (Ward, 2018) . To be honest I don’t like how some companies, especially the ones I am not interested in miraculously find their messages in my inbox. However, company’s like Amazon, eBay, Nike, Finishline always send me relevant emails that is beneficial to me. As a loyal customer to the said companies, they keep me notified of what discounts, deals, and promotions that I would be interested in. IT IS STILL RELEVANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today, we live in an age where there ...
