If you missed our incredible Facebook live event we held on Monday, not to worry – we’ve got you covered! We had so many people attend, and so many people requested a replay of this valuable workshop, we thought we’d bring you the cliff notes from the session, along with an instant replay so you can learn how to put this FREE tool to work in your business!

What is Canva?

Canva is a free online platform that allows anyone – not just graphic artists – to create and design anything, and be able to publish it anywhere. It’s abilities are pretty unlimited, so to make it simple, Craig Grant and I put on a workshop to demonstrate how to build a Social Media Video in Canva. You can watch it now by clicking the link below:

How can Canva Help Me as an Agent?

The best way to describe the value of Canva for a REALTOR® is this – you’ll get professional marketing results all by yourself, more easily – and without spending a dime – than if you were to work with an actual professional. 

Workshop Key Takeaways

While we covered a ton of incredible topics in monday’s workshop, there were a few that stood out as things you can use to save time and end up with more professional designs no matter what you’re using Canva for. So, what are these helpful tips? 

1. Find a template you like and stick to it. Designers have done a lot of the hard work for you, and there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel. You may need to apply some of your own colors and images, but don’t go too far. Many times, you’ll end up spending more time for something that doesn’t look as good.
2. Set a color palette and use the auto generated “Photo Colors” within Canva to make your designs look extra professional. I’ve covered the importance of your color palette and how to create one before, but Canva makes it easy to apply these colors to all of your designs so your brand stays consistent.
3. Use the “snap-to” grids and grouping to automatically align the content in your designs. Even a few parts of your content that are mis-aligned can make an otherwise awesome marketing piece look amateur. So, use Canva’s tools to make sure your designs align correctly and look professional.

More Features, More Opportunities

Let’s be honest, this tool packs some serious marketing punch, and we could talk all day about the amazing applications it has in your business. There’s so much more to cover beyond what our introductory workshop could, so we took it a step further and created an entire Master Class for those agents interested in advancing their online design skills, and getting inspired to use Canva successfully in your real estate business!
