Kwa hii article Chep atakushow njia anatumia kutengeneza picha fiti za biz yake na viatu zake using Canva, which is an online graphic design tool.

Step 2: Kudesign status zako

Kutumia template ni option poa juu ni simple to use na tayari designs Canva wanaprovide zinakaa poa. Kwa hii option unahitaji tu kuongeza picha zako na kumake changes kiasi hapa na pale. However, na hii option designs zako hazitakuwa unique na unaweza pata wasee na biz zingine wanatumia the same design as you.

On the other hand, kutengeneza design yako from scratch ni complex kiasi na itahitaji uwe na ujuaji upande ya design ili uweze kuunda kitu smart. Kumbuka, goal ni kuvutia wasee wakiona status yako wakuwe interested na wakutumie message kuulizia ama kununua.

Mimi personally naprefer to go the template way. Canva iko na templates mob za biz tofauti. Unaweza pata moja by searching for ‘WhatsApp Statuses’

Juu mimi nauza maviatu, mi huchagua templates ziko related to fashion, style na clothinge kama hizi:

Step 3: Change design yako

Ukichagua design ume like, unaweza change picha za templae na picha zako za biz ama products unauza. For best outcome, ni poa kutumia product photos kali na high quality. Cheki hii article ingine hapa itakushow vile unaweza take picha high-quality za product zako kutumia smartphone pekee! How to take good photos of your products using a smartphone.

PIcha zako ni mambo yote kwa hizi design. Zipange poa na make the best use of template umechagua. Mi huona ni fiti kuweka picha kadhaa za viatu on each design, hivyo mteja anaona niko na options mingi na labda atapenda moja anitumie message na anunue.

Next mi huweka message ama text kwa design kuvutia wasee. Either nasema niko na ‘sale’ ama napeana discount ya 100 ama 150 bob ama “Order now!”

Uzuri ni kuna options mob za handwritings tofauti, na unaweza zitumia in any size ama colour unataka. Mi hupenda kustand out kiasi, lakini picha zangu ndio focus. Experiment na styles tofauti mpaka upate kitu inakubamba.

Lastly, mimi hupenda kuwa very clear vile customer anaweza nipata. Huwezi jua, unaweza pata referral, ama mtu amechukua screenshot ametumia beshte yake. So mimi huweka number yangu kwa kila design ili ikifikia mtu yeyote anaweza nipigia ama atume text.

Step 6: Kusave designs zako na kushare

Ukiridhika na design, ni time to share. Click on “download” kusave designs zako kwa phone. Unataka kusave kama picha so go with format ya JPEG or PNG.
