How To Promote Your Essential Oil Business

5 Ideas For How To Promote Your Essential Oil Business

Did you know, our brains process visuals 60,000 times faster than we process words?

That’s why having eye-catching images that promote your business and offer value to your prospects are a must.

Quality photos grab attention and make your oils business stand out.

Not a professional photographer? No problem.

These days, savvy essential oil business owners and wellness influencers are saving time and growing their businesses faster by tapping into ready-made resources, like stock photos and customizable templates.

It may not seem obvious at first but there are dozens of ways that stock photography + templates can help you grow your business.

I’ve put together a few ways your essential oil business can use stock photography and customizable templates in promo designs to thrive and be the envy of the internet.

1. Info-Graphics

Creating info graphics is a great way to boost SEO for your website, get discovered on Pinterest, go viral on social media, and inspire others to use essential oils. Plus, they're super fun to make!

Diffuser blends are a great place to start. But you can create info graphics to share all sorts of tips, recipes, usage guides and more.

Wellness Stock Shop offers plenty of photos with ample "white space" for you to overlay text, in addition to dozens of gorgeous customizable Canva templates for Pinterest and beyond.

This makes it easy to create diffuser blends and other shareable designs to inspire your followers and promote your essential oil business.

TIPS FOR INFO GRAPHICS:

  • Photos with negative space allow you to easily overlay your text with a clean look.

  • When using a "busier" photo (without negative space), try adding a color background with decreased opacity behind your text so you can still see the photo, but your text is easy to read.

  • Group blends based on themes, such as a specific oil, desired feeling, emotion, ailment, activity, holiday or season.

  • Tap into pre-designed templates, like our growing collection of exclusive Canva templates (included with membership) to easily create value-packed, professional posts for social media.

  • Use your branding colors and fonts to maintain your branded look.

  • Add your logo, watermark, and/or website URL to help boost brand recognition.

  • Repurpose your graphics to share to multiple platforms (i.e. your blog, Pinterest + Instagram Stories).

2. Mockups
