Create a campaign: share several templates in one design generator

In Studio, a campaign bundles several templates in one design generator. Users pick a template there, fill it in and export their design. Unlike a single template link, you design the page yourself.

This takes four steps:

1. Create the campaign under Campaigns.
2. Choose the templates.
3. Design the design generator.
4. Test and share the link.

Create the campaign

1. Click Campaigns in the Studio navigation. The overview of your campaigns opens.
2. Click Create Campaign. If you have no campaign yet, it is the Create campaign card. A popup opens.
   Create Campaign can't be clicked?

   A campaign needs at least one template. Create a template first.

   
   
3. Check that Web is selected. That is the default. The other types are for other cases:
   • Web: a page of its own with a link. This article is about it.
   • Widget: a design generator to embed in your website.
   • Team: only for members of your team, after they log in.
4. Click Create. The campaign is now created and opens at the Templates step. At the top you see all steps of the campaign.
   

Choose the templates

The Templates step shows your templates, sorted by folder. Bluepic saves every change to the campaign automatically.

1. Tick the card of every template users should get. Select all selects all templates of a folder. Users see the templates in the order you select them.
   A template is missing from the list?

   Templates in Drafts, Archive and Presets don't show here. Move the template into another folder first.

2. Click Next at the top. The Assets step opens. You only need it for a brand portal with files to download.
3. Click Next again. The Generator Theme step opens.

Design the design generator

In the Generator Theme step you decide what the design generator looks like. A preview is on the right.

1. Type the title of your design generator under Title.
2. Choose under Layout how users pick a template: in a gallery (Template Selection via Gallery) or in a slider, horizontal or vertical.
   
3. Click Next until the Share step appears. You can skip Landing Page and Social Connections on the way.

Test and share the link

The design generator is the page where users fill in your templates and export their design. The Share step shows its link. The campaign has been online since you created it.

1. Click Copy URL. The message "Copied to clipboard" appears. The link is now on your clipboard.
2. Open the link in a new browser tab. The design generator opens.
3. Pick a template and fill it in the way users would. Do this once for every template.
4. Test every input field and the export.
5. Click Finish. You get back to the overview of your campaigns.

Then share the link with your users. Delete URL in the Share step takes the campaign offline, Make live switches it back on.

The other steps of the campaign

You only need the steps you skipped above for certain purposes. Each one has its own article:

• Assets: offer files such as brochures or logos for download. See Set up a brand portal: offer files for download in a campaign.
• Generator Theme: colors, fonts and field hints. See Generator Theme settings.
• Landing Page: a page with a header, background and title around the design generator. See Design a landing page: set up the page around the design generator.
• Social Connections: choose whether users download their design, share it or send it to another system. See Social Connections: export targets of a campaign.
• Share: besides the link, personal pre-filled links for each recipient. See Generate personal links: pre-fill a campaign for each recipient.
• Analytics: see how many designs users created and downloaded. See Campaign and template analytics.
