Have you ever landed on someone’s profile and were instantly met with a “messy feed” you know the one where the photos, content and tone were all over the place? It was hard to even focus on one photo because they were all just so … busy? I don’t know about you but It doesn’t take me long to get on out of there as fast as I can, which is why balance is so important, you want to invite your audience into each post and create space amongst those tiny squares. Having an intentional layout helps tell a story and paint the picture of your unique brand. The layout of your grid is also key, you can have a grid that is just a variation of your colour palette, a checkerboard grid where you alternate between types images or colours or do something fun with borders. Head into Canva and drop a square element over your listing photo, then change the colour to one in your palette, then adjust the transparency so you can see the listing behind it…voila! That listing photo will seamlessly blend into your grid. Have a listing that just doesn’t match? No problem. Here’s a pro tip, incorporate elements of your palette into your wardrobe or backdrops when snapping pics that way photos of you will always fit into your feed. This means the colours in your colour palette should be represented in every single photo. Similar to choosing a tone, you want your posts to be colour coordinated. If you’re not sure what your tone is take this 2-minute quiz that will give you insight into your brand style. Be aware of these three things and aim for consistency and your feed will thank you. Tones come out in to play with the use of filters (limit yourself to 2) and colours (choose a colour a palette and don’t deviate) as well as the type and style of photo. TWO | CHOOSE A TONEĪre you light, bright and airy? Moody and sleek? Boho chic? Pick one and stick to it! But how do you even do that Melanie? Glad you asked. If you really feel inclined to share blurry or less than stellar photos pop them into your stories where they will live and die in 24 hours and where the need for that perfectly branded look is less important. That means save that photo that’s kind of blurry (but totally hilarious) of you falling down face first in the snow off of your grid. Imagine a potential seller, landing on your profile only to see blurry or messy content… they might wonder if that’s your go-to standard and leave it right there.
