How to create a newsletter in Canva. Hey guys welcome back in this video I'll be showing you
0:06
guys how you can get started with building a newsletter on Canva. So let's get into it
0:13
Now to get started simply log on to your Canva account and it's very simple and easy you can
0:18
just sign up for free with your email address and then you can go into the search bar and you're
0:24
going to search for newsletter over here. Once you search for newsletter now you're going to
0:30
go into templates and it's going to show you multiple different types of newsletter templates
0:35
So you have to decide what kind of newsletter you're looking to build. For us in this video
0:41
I would be focusing on an email-based newsletter so as a business I want to provide a valuable
0:47
monthly newsletter to update the customers or clients about the new trends or the new products
0:53
that we are offering. So if you go and search into a newsletter you can select email newsletters
0:59
over here and this will show you multiple different templates available for newsletters
1:04
Now all of these are templates for email newsletters and some of these are available
1:09
for free and some are available on the pro plan of Canva. Now if you're only looking for free
1:15
templates you can go into these filters over here and you can select all filters and on the left you
1:22
have different styles you can choose features, animation styles, themes, colors, everything can be
1:28
customized. Now over here we have a lot of templates you can search for the type of business you are in
1:36
to find a newsletter that is going to look the best for your particular type of business
1:42
So you guys can see we have beauty-based templates, food, real estate, tech, fashion, Christmas sales
1:49
discounts, welcomes, collection launches, you know you have a lot of different options
1:55
So what I'm going to do is I want to build like a fashion or style based newsletter
2:02
So I think I like this one over here the single page newsletter. Some of these are multiple pages
2:08
some of these are single pages so you can really choose whichever one you prefer if you want a
2:14
single page or if you want multiple different pages. So I am going to search for something like
2:20
this I like this one over here but it's a bit text heavy but that's all right so I'm going to be using
2:25
this particular template over here. Now once I do I am going to zoom in a little a little to show
2:32
you guys. Now to see you guys can see this is the first section and I'm going to delete the image
2:38
first and foremost and I can go into uploads on the left panel over here and upload my own image
2:44
like this. You can upload any image you might have of your particular business. I'm going to edit
2:50
this image and I'm going to decrease the brightness over here like this and decrease the contrast as
2:59
well like this. Now after that you guys can see it has some info about the brand so I'm going to add
3:05
Derdin 2024 newsletter we were here and better like this and then we can add you know information
3:15
Now a lot of people ask how can I customize these links well usually whenever I'm sending
3:22
newsletters I'm using something like MailChimp, Sendinblue or Sendingrid. So what I like to do
3:28
is I just like to leave this and then when I go over there I like to add the action button or
3:34
call to action button where it's clickable. However if you want to not leave things for later
3:40
on and just add a reminder over here you can always click on this and then click on the top right or
3:47
just do a right click and click on link and then we're going to link our website. I'll just take
3:52
this business website and then I'm going to link it over here. Now keep in mind that you do have to
3:59
make sure that you're importing correctly if you want these links to work. So because this is now a
4:05
linked button you need to make sure you're exporting this as a pdf not an image because
4:11
images don't have clickable links. After that we have some more images we can change the style
4:16
add more text as well and we have a second page on this as well. Now if I don't want a second page I
4:23
can choose to remove that as well. Now one thing a lot of people know is that wouldn't our newsletter
4:30
look like every other business? Well you can add a lot of dynamic and you know a lot of unique
4:35
elements into your designs and you can even get started from scratch. So this is just one example
4:40
so I'll delete the second page. This is my newsletter over here if I want to include more
4:45
design elements. Let's say I want to provide a textured background over here so I'm going to go
4:50
into elements and I'm going to search for texture over here and then I'm going to go into the
4:56
graphics section and we have a lot of different textures available. So I'm going to use these
5:03
lines over here and I'm just going to put these over here and then I'm going to do command c
5:09
command v making sure that they are joining correctly like this. Now I'm going to click on
5:15
shift and I'm going to select all of these and click on these three dots then go into layer and
5:22
click on send to back. Then we're going to go into the transparency and make it pretty transparent
5:28
over here and now we can also you know click on shift and then hold all three of these together
5:36
to make sure they are aligned correctly and now we have this you know interesting textured background
5:41
You can add a lot of different elements in this way there's so much that you can do with Canva
5:46
and once you have completed your design you can click on share on the top right and then you're
5:52
going to click on download on the right and then you are going to choose your file type so you can
5:58
just go for a pdf standard and download. Once you download your pdf you can upload this into
6:04
MailChimp or any other tool that you are using and you can even break down the blocks and you know
6:10
add your own buttons and links over there as well. Now moving on a lot of people want to get
6:16
started from scratch and if you do you can always go into the create a blank email newsletter and
6:22
you can go on ahead and choose to get started from scratch. Now from here when you open up a blank
6:29
canvas it still gives you the options of you know having multiple different styles on the left panel
6:36
and you can take inspiration instead of you know downloading entire styles you can go on ahead and
6:42
add some of these elements and then you can delete the ones you don't require and you can go on ahead
6:49
and customize you know your template accordingly. So let's say we are Dirden, drop this look you know
6:57
the latest 2024 trends or the fashionistas are here, stop now before we run out before stock
7:14
ends you know whatever you might want to add then let's say I want to add some more images so I can
7:21
go ahead and insert images of our collection as well. So let's say I want to add this mood board
7:28
over here and then we want to add some of the real incarnations of the mood board and then to
7:37
join these together I'm just going to search for join or I'm just going to search for paper clip
7:42
over here and then I can you know use this paper clip design to make it look really nice and settled
7:51
in like this and I'll just resize this a little and then we are just going to resize it over here
7:58
and then just place it on the side like this and you know you can add some more decorative elements
8:04
so just like that you can build a amazing newsletter using Canva. If you found this
