Welcome to the newest installment of Let’s Make It: Taropy by Melody, where we’ve been following Picsart’s Senior Copywriter, Melody Nazarian, on her journey into entrepreneurship. Having recently launched her tarot reading business with a twist, Melody has developed branding that is consistent with her vibe and offering. With the help of Picsart, she transformed her vision into a visually stunning identity that captures the magic of tarot. Here’s how she did it!

Channeling the Vibe Through Colors, Fonts and Logos 

When first approaching her branding, Melody didn’t have a specific color scheme that she wanted to adhere to, but she did know the feelings that she wanted to evoke: mystery, magic, and approachability.

“I didn’t have a color scheme or font in mind, per se, but I did want to exude a magical, mystical vibe that’s striking but approachable. Once I created my logo with the AI Logo Maker, the tool gave me a bunch of options to play with. From those designs, I could envision what I wanted for my final colors and font.”

Picsart’s AI Logo Maker helped Melody to discover a realm of possibilities for her branding. Each option helped her to refine and manifest the perfect look for her brand, bringing it into reality. Taking a logo one step further to create a brand kit is a quick, easy and effective way to have your branding ready to go when looking to create social media assets

Tapping into Key Inspirations 

Tarot decks may be for reading, but they can also be considered tiny works of art, featuring intricate details stooped in meaning! Melody knew she wanted to capture that beauty in her brand, blending tarot imagery with celestial elements.

“Tarot cards are beautiful, so I knew I wanted some element of tarot-inspired cards in my assets. Because I wanted an ethereal, mystical aesthetic, I knew I needed celestial elements, like stars, the sun, sparkles, the evil eye, etc., so I created a Pinterest board, where I saved images that inspired me.”

With Picsart, she could take those inspirations and turn them into captivating visuals, which together effectively represent her brand, Taropy by Melody.

Making Necessary Decisions and Remaining Adaptable

Branding is a journey of exploration into the heart and soul of a business. Like any good tarot reading, you have to be willing to adapt. While she loved her original logo, feedback from external sources helped her see room for improvement.

“There were elements I had to change in the beginning, but I wouldn’t say they were tough choices, just choices that had to be made for the betterment of the brand. For example, early on I had generated a logo that I really liked, but with the help of my friends and mentors, I realized it was too simple. The minimalistic vibe spoke to my personal style, but I had to dress it up a bit to create my brand’s aesthetic.”

Making those necessary changes was a breeze with Picsart’s tools. With logos taking mere seconds to generate, Melody was able to explore numerous options before settling on one that she felt spoke to the essence of her brand.

Giving the Universe a Helping Hand 

To share the magic of Taropy by Melody, the business had to first be brought to life. By using a few key tools, Melody was able to create her brand identity, as well as content to build her visibility.

“The main tools that helped me (and continue to help me) create my brand identity include Picsart’s AI Logo Maker, ChatGPT, and Picsart’s mobile and web editor. In particular, the video editor has become my best friend in showcasing the type of video content that speaks to my style and personality.”

From designing a mesmerizing logo to editing social media content that aligns with her brand, Picsart provided the tools needed to keep everything polished and professional, while maintaining aesthetics and a tone that are true to Melody’s mystical offering.

A Magical Brand Brought to Life 

Although Melody likes to leave a lot of her strategic decisions to the whim of the universe, by incorporating key Picsart tools like AI Logo Maker and Fonts into her brand development and content processes, she has been able to combine magic with technology in pursuit of her dreams. With the right mix of creativity and AI-powered assistance, this tarot entrepreneur was able to craft a beautiful brand that reflects her mystical spirit and unique style.

AI: A new brush in a toolkit, not a replacement for human creativity https://picsart.com/blog/ai-as-the-new-norm/ Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:54:03 +0000 https://picsart.com/blog/?p=227016 There’s no doubt that AI is changing the world.

There’s no doubt that AI is changing the world. It’s now found in our work processes, on our phones, in the way we receive customer service, and so much more. As a result, we’re seeing increases in productivity, an expansion of creative possibilities, and the offer of help whenever we need it. A recent survey by Picsart found that over 78% of small business owners already use AI tools for marketing purposes. As AI continues to evolve and more companies begin to adopt it as part of their offering, we can expect to see innovative tools continue to weave their way into our lives.

Thibault Imbert, Chief Product Officer at Picsart, has a vision for exactly that: how AI can be used to improve day-to-day tasks and operations while providing more opportunities for all. Picsart remains at the forefront of these exciting developments, constantly developing and improving new tools to make creative processes more accessible and efficient, while still producing high-quality outputs.

AI’s Impact on Search and Content Creation

The way we search online continues to evolve over time. In the early days of wide-scale internet adoption, asking a search engine full sentence questions was commonplace. However, over time, using simple keywords became the new norm, omitting unnecessary words and punctuation from searches completely. Now, search engines are adopting AI features, giving searchers a brief overview of the information from the top results. Many are now turning to AI tools altogether to complete necessary research.

Thibault shares his own experience of this shift: “I personally don’t search as much anymore. For anything related to work, passion, or hobbies (anything that’s not shopping) I use GPT or some type of LLM. It’s so much better because a lot of the content that shows up first today has been gamified by backlinks and ads.”

This insight into the new ways we search and research opens up a world of possibilities. AI is delivering more personalized and relevant results, while also disrupting traditional content monetization models.

In terms of content creation, AI is streamlining workflows, boosting efficiency, and enabling creators to work more effectively than ever before. Thibault notes, “It’s a key part of my workflow and I see it with all the people around me. There’s definitely a transformation happening.” This transformation is paving the way for more innovation and creativity across industries.

Picsart’s AI Strategy and Technological Advantage

Picsart embraced AI early on, pioneering wide-scale use of AI for design. As a company, Picsart is unique in its approach to its use of AI.

Thibault explains, “Unlike some companies that are providing and betting on just one model, we take an approach where we’re using the best models for their purpose. If you want to create the best logo with AI, we have the best technology behind the scenes to do that. If you want to create beautiful stock photography, we have the best model. That is something pretty unique that not a lot of players are doing.” This strategic approach allows Picsart to offer specialized tools that simplify complex creative processes (which would otherwise require a professional skill set) while accelerating productivity, without sacrificing creativity.

The Rise of AI Agents and Automation

As AI agents continue to develop and evolve, the opportunity for increased capacity continues to grow. 

Thibault highlights the potential of AI agents: “A lot of people have talked about agentic workflow, or AI agents. An AI agent is an AI that has long-term memory, the ability to have autonomy and be proactive. That becomes extremely powerful. I think we’re going to have an explosion of agents that are working with other agents, which becomes exponential.”

With AI agents now capable of proactively thinking ahead rather than just reacting to tasks, automation is poised to reach new heights. “Let’s say that you’re working on automating your marketing. Now that AI agent is creating content for you proactively, based on the next season, like Black Friday or Christmas.” Here, Thiabult demonstrates the potential for AI to act as an additional member of a marketing team, always ready to work on your next project.

Making Creativity Accessible to All

One of the most exciting aspects of AI is its ability to reduce the barrier to entry for creativity, allowing more people to express themselves and create content without needing advanced technical skills.

Thibault sees AI as a tool for unlocking talents in a whole range of areas: “It’s going to help so many people realize that they have a talent by reducing the barrier to entry to many things. It’s exactly that for creativity. It’s going to be the same thing for math. I think it’s going to be the same for a lot of things. It’s a big deal.”

AI tools are already empowering users in countless fields. “Today you can use a text-to-image tool and start using that for mood boarding or prototyping,” he explains. Thibault gives the example of planning your own home renovations.

“Let’s say you want to renovate your kitchen. In the past, you had to go through these tools that would be tedious and outdated to visualize in 3D, and then put a mood board together to decide on the type of kitchen you want. But now you can take a picture of the kitchen that you have today, and restyle it in the way you like that you found online. It’s incredible.” This reduces the need for a specialized skill set at every stage, and instead creates new possibilities for a wider audience, as AI provides new found accessibility to design.

Future of Picsart and AI-First Design

Looking ahead, Picsart is committed to AI-powered automation to provide high-quality content creation, while helping to increase productivity. Thibault has likened AI to being a creator’s new brush. As the demand for digital content continues to grow, AI will play a crucial role in scaling creation for both professionals and consumers.

Thibault shares his perspective: “Today, with the explosion of more channels, more content, more consumption, more digitalization, there’s an evergrowing demand for content. We play a role in helping more professional users create content at scale, given what we’ve learned in the past years, as we’ve helped consumers to create content. There are some exciting things coming from Picsart in that space this year.”

What’s Next

Picsart aims to empower users by providing AI-driven tools that make content creation more accessible and efficient. “What’s next for us is thinking about how we can accelerate productivity and automate a lot of the work that is not necessarily creative, but more repetitive when creating content, to really help people accelerate their productivity, while still maintaining a pulse on the creativity,” Thibault states.

AI is becoming the new norm in digital workflows, offering immense opportunities for innovation and creativity. Picsart will continue to be a leader of innovation in this area. AI is here to stay, and with companies like Picsart at the forefront, the future of creativity and productivity looks bright.

A new year brings fresh opportunities, and for small business owners this is no exception. It can be a challenge to know where to start when approaching the development of a new marketing strategy, but with a few simple tools and tasks, you may see significant results. We’ve compiled 10 of our top tips for small business owners and solopreneurs from our Small Business Starter Pack, which will help you to determine the best place to start, and may inform the direction of your branding and marketing over the course of the year. 

1. Define what makes your business unique.

Leverage this in your marketing and branding.

2. Make sure your branding is reflected in all of your marketing.

From your visual designs to your messaging and customer interactions.

3. Focus on building relationships, either through social media or in-person events.

Authenticity and engagement are paramount to a strong brand identity. Once you have built your community, sales will follow.

4. Use both online and offline strategies to market your business.

This will allow you to reach a wider audience, and help you to develop connections in your local area. Utilize organic channels, such as social media, email marketing, and word-of-mouth.

5. Get to know your target market.

Focus on activities which will deliver the most value.

6. Make the most of your data and insights.

This information can help you to refine your marketing efforts and make sure you’re choosing the most effective methods to promote growth and engagement. Be open to adjusting your approach based on what works and what doesn’t.

7. On social media, real, relatable content can yield significant results.

It’s not necessary to produce overly manicured videos with a large budget to connect with audiences. Offering value through education, entertainment, or engagement will enable you to create stronger bonds with your audience, and position your brand as a leader in your industry. Stay true to your mission, as authenticity is key.

8. Use AI tools to automate, prioritize high-impact tasks, and monitor progress.

Automating time-consuming tasks will allow you to focus your energy on more creative and strategic elements of your business, such as content creation and customer engagement.

9. Position your brand effectively by emphasizing what makes you different.

Your competitive edge should create the foundation of your marketing efforts and help you stand out in your market. Focus on unmet needs and underserved pain points.

10. Engage with your customers and foster direct relationships.

This can lead to stronger results in the long-term.

Think about your business goals for 2025 and apply all of the tips that work for you and your business. No two businesses are the same, so tailoring your strategy to best fit your unique offering and ways of working is crucial for success. Consider where you want to be at the end of the year and use this as a way to inform your marketing and branding choices.

Diving into business ownership can often feel like a rollercoaster, with exceptionally exciting highs, as well as dips here and there. This has been no different for YouTuber, TikTok star, globetrotter, and now entrepreneur, Kate Elisabeth. Kate rose to internet prominence as a teenager, making content on her life at boarding school which caught the attention of thousands. Since then, her content has grown with her, now reflecting life as a woman navigating her 20s – and doing it in style! Her humor, transparency and vibrant personality have enabled Kate to amass a following of well over one million across her YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok accounts combined. Touching on a whole range of topics, such as travel, mental health, relationships, and now entrepreneurship, Kate’s authenticity shines through in every post, making her both a relatable and inspiring figure. Through setting up her sustainable swimwear business, Kikakinis, in the summer of 2022, Kate has been on her own business journey, which she often mentions in her content. We interviewed Kate about her experiences as she’s delved into the world of entrepreneurship. Sharing her unique insights, Kate spoke on her learnings, how she built an authentic brand, and what future business owners can expect when starting out.

On starting her business 

As discovered in our unique research for the Small Business Starter Pack, coming up with the idea for a new venture can be one of the biggest initial challenges that entrepreneurs face. On this, we asked Kate: Kikakinis is a sustainable swimwear brand. Where did you find your inspiration and how did you choose this idea? 

“I created merch back in 2019 which consisted of hoodies and t-shirts and I found huge success in selling these pieces, but it wasn’t sustainable nor what I wanted to have that compliments me as a business. So in 2021 I decided that I had found a love for travelling and I never could find a perfect bikini that suited my body shape or gave the best tan lines, so I decided to create it myself! I wanted to make it sustainable as I care deeply about the world and creating a business with minimal impact to the environment, this is why it’s made out of recycled fishing nets and pre-consumption waste.”

Kikakinis swimwear products are made from 87% recycled polyester and are shipped by sea from Tunisia to the UK to reduce the business’ carbon footprint. There are currently 6 bikini sets to shop from, totalling an offering of 12 products.

On learning from experience and navigating hurdles, we asked Kate: You’ve been very open about the challenges of business ownership, especially starting out. Can you share one of the biggest lessons you’ve learned? 

“The biggest lesson I’ve learnt is that retail is detail, there is so much more to it than just selling the product itself, it’s marketing, the theatre of the packaging, customer experience and so much more. You need a team around you to help with the things you aren’t good at and have to stand down and admit that someone else can do it better. For example, financials and accounting is not my strong streak. I am a solely creative person and just want to focus on that, and to combat that I brought my mum onto my team to work alongside me!”

On her audience and personal branding

With Kate already having built a strong personal brand, we explored how this shaped her first steps into entrepreneurship, by asking: How has having an existing personal brand and audience impacted your business journey? For example, has this prompted opportunities, or posed any unexpected challenges?

“Having a personal brand has benefited me in so many ways alongside my business, as I already have an audience to share my business with off the bat. It’s prompted lots of opportunities as well, including brand deals. The only unexpected challenge I have faced is probably the battle with my ego, when trying to promote my product organically and naturally but I sometimes feel I am shoving it down my audience’s throats. This is purely because I want my social page to always feel like a safe space for my followers and not just a constant AD of people who sponsor me and my business, but I feel I am juggling it better nowadays.”

One of Kate’s most recent YouTube videos, titled ‘COME SKIING WITH US’ incorporates mentions and clips of Kikakinis’ products, without using the brand as the sole focus, making it a prime example of how she has created a brand which seamlessly and naturally integrates into her content. 

On mixing the worlds of influencing and business, we asked Kate: How has your experience as a content creator influenced the branding and marketing of your business? Has prior knowledge of branding and social media helped to shape your strategies?

“Being a content creator has helped massively with my marketing as I know what the trends are as I keep up with them myself constantly, therefore can also apply that to my social assets for my business. I also have had years of learning how to use editing softwares and made my own branding and website myself, which saved me a lot of money for the start up of my business.”

We then asked: Do you have any tips for someone looking to build an authentic brand? 

“My advice would be to figure out what you use/do on the daily that can be made into a business. Make sure it’s not a microtrend that’ll take you years to create and as soon as you launch it you become bored and then also out of trend for the rest of the world. As a side hustle you need to realise that it will take a lot of your time up, but if you manage it well and give yourself time to make it the best version you can possibly make it, then you will never be disappointed with the results as you know it won’t be half hearted.”

On advice and business insights 

Starting a business can be daunting, but when the first signs of success start to show, it can be incredibly rewarding. On this, we asked: What’s been one of your proudest moments with your business so far? 

“Seeing a girl at a festival wearing my bikini organically. It was just the best feeling that someone loves the product just as much as I do, it was such an “I made it” moment for me.”

Lastly, Kate provided some valuable advice for budding entrepreneurs, answering the question: What advice would you give to someone looking to start a business?

“Expect tears, especially if you are a perfectionist! Also with most startups,  expect a slow integration into the market, and if you don’t sell out – it’s not the end of the world! There are too many success stories on social media which will make you feel awful that you haven’t achieved the same as others, but you always must remember that comparison is the thief of joy, it’s your journey!”

Kate’s determination, vision, and ambition have allowed her to create a brand that is truly unique to her, mirroring her personal aesthetic while staying true to her values. We thank Kate for sharing the ins and outs of her business experience and we can’t wait to see what’s next for Kikakinis! The brand is available to shop at kikakinis.co.uk.

Earlier this month, Pantone announced their highly anticipated Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse. This light brown is exceptionally versatile and can be applied for countless design and marketing needs. The essence of Mocha Mousse is warm and sophisticated, making it perfect for branding. If you’re looking to spruce up your content in 2025, incorporating this color can act as the refresh you need without requiring drastic changes. Here are some creative ways to make the most of Pantone’s Color of the Year.

1. Design Elements

Mocha Mousse can give your design elements an extra edge, perfect for creating a polished and approachable look.

  • Tip: Play with the color through shapes, icons, or typography. Pair it with complementary colors like soft creams or muted greens for a contrast that catches the eye.
  • Use them for: Highlighting headers and sub-headers, or adding key design components in your marketing materials.

2. Backgrounds

A versatile color like this brown can shine as a background. Its soft tone provides a calming and engaging canvas for all types of content.

  • Tip: Experiment with gradients, textured patterns, or even sparkly overlays to add depth and dimension.
  • Use them for: Presentations, websites, digital ads, or even printed materials. This color makes your message stand out without overpowering the viewer.

3. Templates

For small businesses looking to save time while staying on-trend, templates in Mocha Mousse can be a lifesaver. These allow you to maintain consistency and professionalism with minimal effort.

  • Use them for: Filling empty space and creating a visual impact.

Mocha Mousse can be used to make a statement. Its chocolatey hue is a great choice for small businesses looking to refresh their branding or marketing assets. Due to its feeling of warmth, this is an obvious choice for restaurants and cafes, however it would also work for luxury brands due to its class. No matter what your business specializes in, there’s sure to be an opportunity to incorporate Pantone’s Color of the Year into your social media posts for the new year.

If you haven’t seen the viral Fish Hat Bob videos on TikTok yet, stop reading and watch them now! Earlier this week, TikTok user Leo The Introvert was strolling through a shopping mall when he came across Bob. Impressed by his funky fish hat, Leo complimented Bob on his unique fashion choice. Bob, recently retired, explained that his inspiration came from his brother, who wore a hat every day of his life featuring a fish poking out the front and back. Bob decided to create his own version, available in two colors.

@leo.the.introvert

Replying to @Nathanael so wholesome 😂

♬ original sound – Leo The Introvert

Thanks to the success of the original video, a TikTok account was set up for Bob, which gained nearly 200,000 followers in less than two days.

@fish.hat.bob

#fishhat fishhatbob@Tilted Kilt

♬ original sound – Fish Hat Bob

Inspired by Bob’s story as a budding solopreneur, we decided to help the 79-year-old step up his social media marketing game using Picsart’s tools.

Three logo options for Fish Hat Bob created with Picsart's AI Logo Maker

First off, we needed a logo. We aimed to keep the retro feel of Bob’s inspiration while ensuring the visuals were fun and captivating. Using Picsart’s AI Logo Maker, we generated several options and landed on one that felt the most authentic to Bob’s vibe and product offering.

Branding Elements

A color palette of light grey, mustard yellow, royal blue, and cream, and fish branding elements

Next, we tackled the branding elements. Building from the logo, we selected a cohesive color palette. Since Bob’s hats come in blue and cream, those were obvious choices. To complement them, we added mustard yellow and light grey.

Of course, the key visual elements had to tie back to the hats themselves. Inspired by the fish featured on the hats, we leaned into classic depictions of vertebrates.

Developing a Tagline

Tagline of "hook, line, slay"

With the foundation set, it was time to craft a tagline. This was a no-brainer. Playing on the phrase “hook, line, and sinker,” we came up with “Hook, Line, Slay.” Not only do the words “hook” and “line” perfectly match Bob’s product theme, but the original phrase is also relevant as it implies that it’s impossible to resist Bob’s hats. Lastly, we added the word “Slay,” as Gen Z seems to comprise a large chunk of Bob’s audience.

Making Social Graphics

With the branding complete, it was time to create some social graphics. Keeping in line with the fishing theme, we conjured up some refined product images using AI Background, featured Bob’s new logo and tagline, animated text to make scrollers stop in their tracks, and incorporated the brand’s elements and fonts.

Forming the Feed

Finally, we crafted a mock up of how his Instagram grid could look. To keep things visually dynamic, we alternated between text-heavy posts and striking product visuals. We also made sure to infuse an air of novelty and fun to reflect the playful charm of the fish hats themselves.

The Final Catch

So, there you have it! Branding for Bob, with plenty of personality to match his fish hats. Now, we just need to see Bob cast his line into the sea of social media, and we’re confident he’ll reel in even more success!

It’s party season! Over the next few months, calendars will be filling up, friends will be hosting holiday gatherings, and brands will be setting up their own festive events. For small businesses, it’s an ideal time to boost visibility and make the most of these social months by throwing a party of your own. Or, maybe you’re looking ahead to January to launch something fresh for the new year. From throwing a Christmas blowout that rivals Kris Jenner’s Christmas Eve Party, to hosting a brand event that will be talked about as much as Sofia Richie’s wedding, Picsart has options for every occasion.

 No matter what the occasion is, we’re here to help make sure that your special event is memorable for all the right reasons. The vibe you bring to the function will be exclusively you. From personalized invitations, down to the details in the decor, give your guests a reason to shout about your brand and celebrate with you. We’ll show you how to create all of this in just a few clicks using our fictional brand, Earthly Radiance, as an example.

Designing Custom Invitations

First things first, it’s time to get those invites looking beautiful. Start by deciding if you want to send physical invitations or keep things digital with e-vites. Once that’s set, think about the aesthetic you want for your party. Maybe you have a specific color palette in mind, or you just know that minimalist elegance is the vibe you’re after. Whatever your vision, Picsart’s template collection has something that will fit. Browse through to find one that feels right, then customize it with stickers, font choices, and a QR code for easy RSVPing. Move over Met Gala, there’s a new must-attend event in town.

Creating Social Media Assets

To make sure your party is a hit, promoting it on social media is key. If your event is open to the public, create an Instagram story to let your audience know they’re invited. Match the colors and fonts from your invites to keep a cohesive look across platforms. Take a page from Emily Cooper’s book of marketing by using organic social media to drum up excitement.

If a story feels too temporary, or if you want to share across multiple accounts, no problem – creating a feed post is just as simple. Feature some of your favorite products using the AI Background Remover to keep things polished and clean, or try AI Background to make the post pop with scenery or textures. 

Want to keep your event exclusive, and know exactly who you want to invite? Or, maybe you want to make this a community event for an established loyal following? In either case, making a Facebook event is a great way to keep track of RSVPs and create buzz before the big day. Build a banner that reflects how you envision your event. Apply a filter, or add some stickers to liven it up. 

Curating a Photo Booth Backdrop

If you want guests to share content from your event, it helps to create some post-worthy moments. Think about what makes you want to share on your own social media accounts. Try a photo booth backdrop, unique stickers, or personalized place settings (maybe even with your own handwriting as the font choice). A visually captivating backdrop for photos will encourage attendees to snap away, giving your event that extra promotion. You could even create your own event logo using AI Logo Maker or design custom stickers using AI Stickers. These little details will make your event the most photogenic spot possible.

Post-Party Thank You Cards

The party may be over, but the momentum doesn’t have to stop there. Sending personalized thank you cards to guests can keep your event or brand in their minds, and show genuine appreciation. Picsart makes it easy to design thank you cards that reflect your style, with options to add a note of gratitude or even a picture from the night. A beautiful thank you card shows thoughtfulness and helps to make sure your event is remembered for weeks, months, or even years to come.

Let’s get this party started!

Planning a memorable event has never been easier. From personalized invites to beautiful thank you cards, every detail can be customized to reflect your brand. If you’re celebrating the holiday season, launching a new product, or simply connecting with loyal customers, these ideas will help you throw a party that stands out and is authentically you. Plan a celebration that screams quiet luxury, or make it a brat winter if that’s more your thing. With the right touches, your event could be the next thing everyone’s sharing and talking about.

If you’ve always dreamt of starting your own business but felt unsure where to begin, now is the perfect time to turn that dream into reality. The idea of entrepreneurship can be overwhelming, especially when you’re stepping into it without prior experience. That’s why Picsart is excited to introduce the Small Business Starter Pack, designed specifically for solopreneurs and small business owners. This five-part guide breaks down the key elements of launching and growing your business, from ideation to branding and marketing.

Built on insights from over 200 small business owners, the Starter Pack offers guidance based on real-world experiences and challenges faced by today’s entrepreneurs. With practical advice and actionable steps, this guide ensures you’re fully prepared to take the first steps to build your successful business.

Survey Findings

To understand the needs and experiences of real-life small business owners, we conducted a survey. These results helped to shape the foundation of the Small Business Starter Pack. Here’s what we found:

Most significant challenge

When asked about what the biggest hurdle small business owners experienced at the start, the most significant challenge was found to be coming up with a business idea, with 39% of the vote. This was followed by securing funding, which over 22% of the business owners surveyed stated as being their biggest concert.

Finding Support and Inspiration

When beginning the journey of entrepreneurship, finding inspiration and a support system often makes all the difference. Roughly 2 out of 3 of the business owners we surveyed turn to networking and mentors for guidance. Over 60% of respondents also used business books and publications and online communities or social media as key sources of information.

Branding for Business Growth 

This is undoubtedly a crucial area to consider when launching a business. When asked how important branding is for business growth, an overwhelming majority believed it to be very important, with 80.79% voting for this category and a further 16.26% acknowledging it to be at least somewhat important.

Creating a Brand Identity

When looking to stand out from the competition, having clearly defined branding plays a significant role in helping to differentiate your brand and making it recognizable. When we asked “What elements of your brand identity have you defined as part of your business?” the results were mixed:

  • Logo: 64.36%
  • Color palette: 59.41%
  • Brand values and mission: 45.54%
  • Typography/fonts: 42.08%

AI for Business

In terms of how these business owners created their brand identity, over half (51.49%) stated that they had used AI tools. 

AI tools are being increasingly used in all aspects of marketing, from design to automation. Our findings show that more than 3 out of 4 (78.11%) of respondents use AI tools. Here’s the break down their tool usage:

  • AI Image or video generators (e.g. Synthesia, etc.): 78.11%
  • AI writing tools (e.g. ChatGPT, etc.): 69.23%
  • Branding and design tools (e.g. Picsart, etc.): 60.95%

Marketing Strategies

Marketing is essential for any business, and our respondents highlighted the strategies that have been most successful for them. Social media came out on top with 76.62% of respondents stating that this was one of their most effective strategies. This encapsulates everything from organic to influencer marketing. Voted in second was email marketing, with 55.72% of respondents confirming that they had executed successful initiatives. In third place, content marketing was found to be of use, with 51.74% of small business owners finding value in blogs, videos, and ebooks, among other pieces. 

Significant Challenges

When operating a business, there will always be hurdles to overcome. When asked “What is the biggest challenge in marketing your business?” over 58% of small business owners stated that this was creating content that resonates with their audience or coming up with content ideas, while just over 17% stated that finding the right platforms to reach their audience was their biggest marketing struggle.

These statistics shed light on the trials and tribulations small business owners face on a daily basis, while also providing valuable insight on how to prepare in the run up to launching into entrepreneurship.

  • “Savor every bite.”
  • “Delight in every dish.”
  • “A taste of happiness.”

Tips for crafting descriptive and recipe-specific food captions

Sometimes, a picture isn’t enough to capture the full sensory experience of a dish. That’s where descriptive captions come in. Here’s how to craft mouthwatering descriptions:

  1. Appeal to the senses: Describe the taste, texture, aroma, and appearance of the dish.
  2. Use vivid adjectives: Instead of “good” or “tasty,” opt for words like “succulent,” “crispy,” or “velvety.”
  3. Mention key ingredients: Highlight unique or high-quality components of the dish.
  4. Include preparation methods: Words like “slow-roasted,” “hand-crafted,” or “flame-grilled” add depth to your description.
  5. Evoke emotions or memories: Connect the dish to feelings or experiences your audience can relate to.

Here’s an example of a descriptive caption:

“Sink your teeth into our juicy, flame-grilled Angus beef burger, topped with melty aged cheddar and crispy bacon. Nestled in a toasted brioche bun and drizzled with our secret house sauce, every bite is a flavor explosion. It’s not just a burger – it’s a comfort food experience that will leave you satisfied and smiling. #BurgerBliss #ComfortFood”

Leveraging AI for caption generation

While creativity is key, sometimes you need a little inspiration to get the creative juices flowing. AI tools like Picsart’s AI caption generator can be helpful in such situations. Here’s how to use them effectively:

  1. Go through the link and use the Generate captions to get started.
  2. Describe what type of caption you are looking for. 
  3. Select the tone, language, and length. 
  4. That’s it! Use the Generate button to see the initial versions. You can treat them as initial starting points and edit them to get closer to your vision.

Enhancing your Instagram presence with templates

While captions are crucial, the visual aspect of your posts is equally important. Using professionally designed templates can help maintain a cohesive and attractive feed. Consider exploring resources like Picsart’s Instagram post and story templates to create eye-catching visuals in a matter of minutes.

Conclusion

Creating engaging food captions for Instagram is an art that combines creativity, strategy, and a dash of technical know-how.

Remember, the key to Instagram success lies in authenticity and consistency. Use these tips and tools to enhance your content, but always stay true to your brand’s unique flavor. Happy posting, and may your Instagram feed be as captivating as the food you’re sharing!

If you want to build a house, you need the right set of tools. And if you want to build your online business, you need the right suite of e-commerce software.

E-commerce tools allow you to sell products online without needing to spend hours on manual processes. They also help you reach more customers and create a better shopping experience. 

In this article, we’ll explore five types of e-commerce tools you should consider using to help you save time as you scale. We also look at an all-in-one content creation tool that can supercharge your marketing efforts. 

What are e-commerce tools? 

E-commerce tools are software solutions that help you set up, manage, and optimize your online store. They also help you market your products to reach the right audience and generate as many sales as possible. For example, content creation tools like Picsart can help you create better visual assets like product images and social media posts.

  • Product information management software
  • E-commerce platforms

  • Visual content creation tools
  • Customer service tools

Marketing software Strengthening your brand and saving you time
Visual content creation tools Creating high-quality branded content and polishing up product photos 
Customer service tools Supporting customers and storing their data

 

Product information management software

Product Information Management (PIM) software like Pimberly and Plytix centralizes and organizes all product data, including descriptions, specifications, pricing, and images. These solutions act as a central source of key information for all your team as you grow and add new products, making it easier for you to update product details. 

E-commerce platforms

The foundation of your online business, e-commerce platforms handle core business needs, providing a solution for managing inventory, processing orders, taking payments, tracking sales, and engaging with customers. Many of them also contain in-built marketing tools. 

Here are a few of the most well-known e-commerce platforms and what they are best for:

  • Shopify: Known for its user-friendliness and extensive app ecosystem.
  • WooCommerce: For users who have built e-commerce websites on WordPress and are looking for flexibility and customization.
  • BigCommerce: A cloud-based platform with built-in features for SEO and marketing.
  • Adobe Commerce: A scalable platform suitable for large enterprises.

Marketing software

Marketing solutions help you strengthen your brand and attract buyers. They also automate key tasks to save you time.  

It all starts with your website as building this space allows you to attract an engaged audience rather than relying on marketplaces like Amazon and Walmart to make sales. You can build a site without design experience by using tools like Wix and Squarespace or an e-commerce platform. Be sure to check out these tips for e-commerce website design when you do! 

When you have established your websiteyour website established, you can create a pipeline of interested customers with email campaigns. For example, you might add a field on your website to capture email addresses then use software such as Klayvio and Mailchimp to automatically send emails to people who have shown interest in your brand. 

You can even go a step further and split your audience into segments based on their demographics or how they interact with your site to target your marketing efforts. E-commerce platforms come with analytics to help you do this. 

Visual content creation tools

Every asset you create to sell your products needs to help you stand out from the competition. So it’s important to use an effective, all-in-one content creation tool to make all your content look cohesive and high-quality. 


Picsart, for example, allows you to create product images, social media posts, website graphics, and more in a single solution. You can customize templates to save time and ensure that your brand always shines. Here’s how to do it on desktop: 

 

  1. Head to Picsart, select a content format like Instagram Story and Facebook Post or use the “+ New Project” for a custom size.
  2. Use the “Templates” button in the left sidebar to start browsing the library and select a template.
  3. Now, use the Uploads button on the left sidebar to upload your product photo. It will be automatically placed in the template.
  4. Feel free to customize further by adding text, changing the font, or tweaking colors. 
  5. Select “Export” in the top right corner to save. 

And on mobile: 

  1. Select templates in the top bar.
  2. Search for a content type — for example, “Instagram Post.”
  3. Scroll down and select your favorite design. 
  4. Tap on the image to replace it with your product photo. 
  5. Add text, change the font, or select new colors to customize. 
  6. Select “Next” in the top right corner then “Save”.

If you’re looking for inspiration, you can also check out our dedicated e-commerce templates. These help you stay on top of the latest design trends and best practices in the space. 

For product visuals, you can use our AI tools to capture your buyer’s interest. Remove a busy background in seconds for a clean look or change the background to something more elevated. 

You might, for example, go for a white background to meet e-commerce standards or you could use our AI background generator to make something striking and unique based on a text prompt. 

Customer service tools 

To support your buyers at every touchpoint, you need a range of customer service tools. 

Customer relationship management (CRM) software like Salesforce and Zoho allows you to manage important customer data and engage directly with buyers. Meanwhile, feedback tools such as SurveyMonkey and Typeform mean you can uncover more valuable insights.   

You can also create customer loyalty programs using tools like Smile.io and Yotpo to encourage repeat business. These tools allow you to quickly build schemes based on points, discounts, and exclusive offers.

Finding the best e-commerce tools for your needs 

To find the right e-commerce tools for your arsenal, consider not only costs but how well they can support you as you scale. Great solutions will be built so they can integrate seamlessly into your processes and save you time as you sell more products.

Picsart is a great example of a powerful e-commerce tool. You can create all the visual marketing content you need in one easy platform and use templates to save time as you create assets at scale. It also offers a ton of free features!

It’s October: the leaves are falling, the air is changing, and the warm knits are coming out. As a small business, you may be wondering what color palettes you should be using for your brand’s new campaign, social theme, or autumn-inspired products. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. We asked Picsart’s in-house designers what their favorite fall color combinations are, so that you don’t have to spend hours figuring out what works and what doesn’t. 

What are the best colors for fall?

Color selection relies heavily on personal preference and your brand’s niche. Consider who you are looking to appeal to and what purpose you are driving. 

For a timeless fall palette, consider rich earthy tones and deep, warm hues. Think burnt oranges, golden yellows, and deep burgundies that are reminiscent of the feeling of crisp autumn days. Paired with neutral shades like taupe, beige, and charcoal gray, these colors provide a versatile base that can be adapted for your campaign.

For brands looking to add a modern twist, try softer shades such as blush, sage, or even light blues for a fresh take on autumnal color selections. The key is to blend warmth with a subtle contrast to create a cohesive, inviting look that resonates with your audience. Take a look below at some of our in-house designers’ favorites.

The Nostalgia Palette 

The “Nostalgia Palette,” with its muted yet bold tones, prompts a strong sense of the 90s aesthetic. During this time, burnt oranges, soft creams, golden yellows, and deep navy blues were popular choices. This palette leans into a retro vibe that’s perfect for small businesses wanting to draw on nostalgia to connect with an audience. Vintage clothing shops, home décor brands, and even lifestyle blogs can use this color scheme to create a warm and inviting look. Pair these colors with retro fonts or graphic elements for a cohesive look that appeals to those who love a throwback feel. 

Our suggestion: Use navy (#01304A) as a grounding color for backgrounds and main visuals. Add burnt orange (#D54725) and golden yellow (#F8BA4D) as highlights to draw attention to specific products or call-to-actions. Adding a touch of neutral cream (#E6DDB2) will balance out the boldness.

The Classic with a Twist Palette

The “Classic with a Twist” palette draws on traditional fall and Halloween colors, but with a modern edge. The warm rust-orange (#CA6641) instantly draws out memories of falling leaves and pumpkin patches, while the deep forest green (#182D09) adds a rich, moody contrast. This palette is perfect for small businesses who want to use classic seasonal themes, but with a warm sophistication. Think boutique coffee shops, candle brands, or artisanal crafts who want to embrace the essence of autumn while maintaining a timeless appeal.

Our suggestion: Consider using the deep green as a background color or for elegant typography.  while the rust-orange can be a focal color for product packaging, promotional banners, or social media highlights. These colors work well in rustic settings but can also shine in modern, minimalistic designs when used sparingly. Adding subtle texture or gold accents can further elevate the palette, creating a blend of classic fall nostalgia with a refined, contemporary twist.

The Cool Palette

The “Cool Palette” features a refreshing combination of a soft periwinkle blue (#93ABD1) and a rich chocolate brown (#5F4234), blending cool and warm elements for a balanced autumnal look. This palette is perfect for small businesses who want to stand out from the traditional fall color schemes, but still embrace the cozy nature of the season. This is a winning choice for interior design studios, wellness brands, or even tech startups looking to create a calm, inviting presence with a hint of earthy warmth.

Our suggestion: Periwinkle blue offers a calmness and serenity that can work well as a choice for backgrounds or product displays. Chocolate brown serves as a sturdy accent, great for typography, borders, or packaging details. This conveys professionalism and stability while maintaining a fresh, modern appeal. Adding metallic accents like bronze or gold can elevate the cool tones, giving your brand a polished, elegant look for the fall season.

The Sunny Day Palette

The “Sunny Day Palette” is a vibrant and cheerful mix of bold colors that recreate the brightness and joy of a sunny fall day. This palette balances warmth with a playful, almost spring-like freshness. Warm golden tones #EBAB3C and #F1DA52 are paired with a soft, pastel pink #EDC4E5, while an earthy green #589248 and a striking, energetic blue #013BF5 create a contrast, making this an excellent choice for brands who want to convey optimism and energy. This palette is perfect for small businesses like cafés, florists, or children’s boutiques, where a fun, friendly atmosphere is key to brand identity. 

Our suggestion: Use the warm yellows and pinks for backgrounds or product highlights to create a sunny, inviting feel. The green can be used to add a natural, earthy balance to marketing materials, while the bright blue can make calls-to-action or brand logos stand out. This palette creates a lively and engaging visual experience, ideal for brands which thrive on positivity and creativity.

Choosing the right palette for your brand

Fall is the perfect season to refresh your brand’s color palette and capture the feelings that resonate with your audience. Whether you’re going for a retro vibe, classic autumn tones, or a playful approach, choosing the right colors can elevate your brand’s visual identity and help you stand out. Choose which color palette works best for your brand, and you’ll be ready to craft campaigns that reflect the season and speak to your unique brand identity.

Over the last few years, online selling has become increasingly popular. For some, this is a side hustle to earn some extra cash, and for others online selling is an integral part of their full-time business. It’s more important than ever to stand out online to be sure you’re able to compete in online marketplaces and catch the attention of potential customers, and Pinterest is a fantastic place for an audience to discover your offering. On the platform, your content has a longer life-span and the visual search engine makes sure your images are seen at the right time and by the right people.

Here are 5 tips and tricks to enhance your product content with Picsart and Pinterest, guaranteed to draw in a crowd to your digital storefront.

Choose a category: seasonal, trendy, evergreen

You’ve got a concept in your head for a great product shoot. Ask yourself, which category does my idea fall into? Your content might be seasonal, relating to the holiday period or a warm summer. This is content that will span a few months (and could even be repurposed in the years ahead). We suggest planning out key moments your brand wants to celebrate in advance. Get your content created and post it on Pinterest a month or two ahead of time – this is when most users start looking for inspiration!

Or, maybe your content is trendy. This could focus on a cultural moment or a viral trend making the rounds. This is likely to have a shorter lifespan, but may help you with your immediate reach. Check out Pinterest Predicts for some ideas.

Lastly, your content may fall into the evergreen category. Evergreen content can be used time and time again, all year round, which is usually specific to your brand. This has no expiry date and can often be stockpiled to roll out periodically. Once you’ve determined which of these categories your concept falls into, you can get shooting.

Use Smart Background and AI Replace to set the tone

Now you have your photos, it’s time for the fun part. Use Picsart’s Smart Background and AI Replace tools to give your content that all important boost, and catch the attention of your target audience. These tools allow you, the creator, to bring your vision to life. To use the Smart Background tool, simply write a prompt that best describes how you’d like your image to look. This could be putting your product in the middle of the sea, in a desert, or at the center of a catwalk. Once you’re happy with the background, use AI replace for the finishing touches by adding in extra elements.

Create in a few taps with Templates, Stickers and Fonts

For promotional material, Picsart’s Templates are a great way to create eye-catching graphics with minimal design experience. Scroll through the many options to find one that works for you. These are completely customizable and can be tailored to suit your own vibe and aesthetic. Replace the elements with images of your own, and include the text you want. Select a font that you feel captures the essence of your content, before having a browse through Stickers. Adding stickers can help to instantly convey a message to your audience, whether it’s about a seasonal sale, a specific promotion or a new drop. These can also be added to simply enhance your visuals. Take a look at how Baz, Founder of Dirty Unicorn, uses these tools for his brand content.

Hint: Use the Pinterest pin pre-set (1000 x 1500 px) to create content ready to upload to the platform.

Enhance your content with Remove Background, AI Enhance, Effects 

For those times when you feel your product looks great, or when you love your setup, but you have a background in mind that would fit better with your feed or campaign, Background Remover will be your best friend. Get rid of your original background in a few clicks and pick a new one from Picsart’s library. Use the AI Enhance tool to see your image come to life with a background that fits the image, if you’re not quite sure what to replace the original with. Lastly, check out the effects to give your content that added pizzazz, sure to stop scrollers in their tracks.  

Reformat your content to maximize its use 

On a less creative (but equally important) note, reformatting your content for different platforms should always be considered before posting. Before you save your content ready to publish, make sure you know your ‘safe zones’. These are the areas where the visibility of your content is not obstructed by buttons and features. Making sure your content is easily viewable is likely to help its overall performance. Removing watermarks, ensuring your file is high-resolution, and making the purpose of your content immediately clear are other key factors to consider when using your content to pull in sales.

Bonus tips: A fantastic way to show your product in a real-life setting is by creating collages. This way, you are able to reach those who may be looking for inspiration for items similar to your product. Optimizing your Pinterest profile will help you to connect with potential customers who share passions and interests. 

No matter whether you’re looking to share your product images via your website, storefront or through your social media accounts, Picsart supports entrepreneurs to create dazzling product images for maximum impact.

The “demure and mindful” TikTok trend is sweeping across social media, captivating users with its unique blend of modesty and self-awareness. This viral phenomenon has brands and entrepreneurs alike seeking ways to incorporate its essence into their content strategies. But what’s driving this trend, and how can you harness its potential to elevate your brand’s visibility?

In this guide, we’ll explore the origins of the demure and mindful trend, examine real-world examples of brands successfully leveraging it, and provide actionable strategies for creating compelling demure content. Whether you’re marketing a sophisticated office product or adding a touch of wit to your social media presence, this article will equip you with the tools to effectively utilize this trend. Let’s delve into the world of demure content and discover how it can transform your brand’s online presence.

Decoding the “Demure and Mindful” phenomenon

The demure and mindful trend originated from TikTok user Jools Lebron (@joolieannie), whose videos playfully exaggerate the concept of modesty and mindfulness in everyday situations. The trend’s appeal lies in its gentle mockery of overly polite behavior, creating an amusing contrast with the often brash nature of social media content.

Phrases like “very demure,” “very cutesy,” and “very mindful” have become hallmarks of the trend. Users across platforms are now incorporating these terms into their content, often with a touch of irony. The trend has even spawned its own vocabulary, with terms like “demurtsey” (a demure cutesy) entering the social media lexicon.

Brands embracing the demure wave

Forward-thinking brands are already capitalizing on the demure and mindful trend, using it to showcase their products and services in fresh, engaging ways. It’s always helpful to take a look at how different brands approach this trend for a healthy dose of inspiration.

♬ original sound – Priceline Australia

Priceline Australia on TikTok used the popular soundbite for a “demure and cutesy” promotion for a makeup range. The video effectively utilizes the lighthearted trend to position the product as a perfect addition to natural makeup looks. It even lists the ingredients in the video.

Zillow partnered with the trendsetter herself to create a fun Instagram reel that perfectly incorporates the seemingly unrelated trend with real estate! It doesn’t necessarily promote anything specific, but it does provide an entertaining break for their audience while showing that their brand can keep in touch with trends.

Fashion brand Odd Muse London used the trend for a fun behind-the-scenes teaser for their fall collection brand shoot. The post effectively manages to highlight their ability to keep up with trends, show their fun side, and tease a new collection at the same time.

Crafting your demure content strategy

Ready to infuse your brand with some demure charm? Consider these expanded tips to guide your content creation:

  1. Identify relatable scenarios: Seek out everyday situations where your product or service can shine in a demure light. A spa might showcase a “very mindful” approach to a morning skincare routine, while a coffee brand could present a “demurely caffeinated” morning routine.
  2. Embrace subtle humor: The key to this trend is its light-hearted nature. Don’t shy away from gentle self-mockery or playful exaggeration. A cleaning product brand, for instance, could depict a “very demure” approach to tackling tough stains, adding a touch of whimsy to an otherwise mundane task.
  3. Maintain brand authenticity: While embracing the trend, ensure your content aligns with your brand’s core values and voice. A luxury brand might interpret “demure” as understated elegance, while a youth-oriented brand could lean into the more playful aspects of the trend.
  4. Cross-platform adaptation: While the trend originated on TikTok, adapt your demure content for other platforms. A LinkedIn post could humorously describe a “very demure approach to networking,” while an Instagram story might feature a “mindful unboxing” of your product highlighting the environmentally-friendly packaging.
  5. User-generated content: Encourage your audience to create their own demure content featuring your products. This not only boosts engagement but also provides you with a wealth of authentic, trend-aligned content to share.
  6. Embrace the DIY aesthetic: You can choose to make very demure videos with just subtitles or go the static route and create appealing product shots with cutesy captions. The latter is perfect for paid promotion or just static social media posts. To achieve this with the least amount of effort, tap into Picsart’s all-inclusive AI photo editor to quickly put together polished visuals with background and text tools.

As you embark on your demure content journey, continue to experiment and refine your approach. The digital landscape is ever-evolving, and staying attuned to emerging trends like this can give your brand a significant edge. Embrace your brand’s demure side, and watch as your audience engages with your content in new and exciting ways.
