0:06
newsletter designs for your conversions and to engage your audience using Kenva. So let's get into it
0:13
First of all, what you guys need to do is you're going to go to canva.com and you will get right here
0:18
Kenva is a designing tool that allows you to create websites. You can create presentation, edit your videos
0:24
photos and also create newsletter designs. With Kenva, we will be able to create high conversion
0:29
designs where we will be able to add videos, images, and buttons as well. So let's actually get
0:36
into it. First of all, once you get to Kenva, you will get this search bar right here and you can
0:41
search for newsletter. So here we have our newsletter. You can see we have a email newsletter or a
0:47
simple newsletter that we can go for. Then we have Christmas newsletters or classroom. So what I'm going to do
0:52
is I'm going to just search for a newsletter and check the results that we will get. On Kenva
0:57
we actually get a lot of different templates to choose from. You will get around about, you can see right here, we have 3,000 plus templates for newsletter
1:06
And you can see how good newsletters are. You can see this one right here, this one, all of these newsletters that I can go for
1:14
So it depends on you now, what kind of newsletter you want to create, what is your niche
1:18
So you will select that one. In my case, I am creating a simple newsletter
1:23
and I am actually going to go for this template right here
1:29
So I will select this one. There are free templates and paid templates as well
1:34
So you can go for the free ones as well. There's no problem with that. And you will be able to create a professional newsletter
1:40
You can see with each template we get some similar templates as well. So if you're not happy with that one, maybe you can choose another one
1:47
Now I'm going to click on customize this template. So here we have our template ready
1:52
First of all, let's change the name. So I'm just going to call it test newsletter for now, like so
1:58
And now we can work on it. So first of all, let me actually show you
2:02
We can also start a newsletter from the scratch. So if you feel like you don want to go for a template you can start from the scratch too There is no problem We have different elements available here where you will get photos images graphics frames stickers and then we have audio and anything you want to add actually
2:20
We have charts, tables, grids. So you can go for any of these different elements from here to add to your canvas
2:26
Then we have upload. This is where you will upload your images and your footage to add to your newsletter
2:31
Then we have text. Text is an important part of a newsletter. So what happens is we can add heading, body text and subheadings, and then we will be able to choose from a lot of different templates
2:42
Then we have projects and apps too. So I'm going to actually get back to my template here and we can customize it completely
2:49
First of all, we have our, you know, date here. So I'm going to change the date, of course, and add today's date here like this
2:58
Then we have a website here. So we can change the website. I don't want to add a website
3:03
Then I can completely. delete this option from here. So I will add a website like this. I have zoomed in a little bit
3:10
You can see we can zoom in and zoom out on Kenva. So after that, we have this text here
3:16
So I will just click here and change the text and we can also change the font. For instance
3:21
I'm not happy with this font right here. What I will do is I will click on fonts here and we can
3:26
just change the font. We have a lot of different phones to choose from. So I'll select the font here
3:31
Then we have this color. Let's actually change the color because I want to completely customize the newsletter. I don't want to go for a template. It might be, you know
3:39
similar to something, someone else's template. So what we're going to do is we're going to select all
3:45
the different elements here. And it'll show me the colors. So the color scheme is yellow, black
3:52
and white. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to select the black that we have on our, you know
3:58
here on our newsletter. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to actually select the color, for instance
4:03
the yellow first. So I'm going to change the yellow to a blue. And in blue, what I'm going to do is I'm
4:09
going to make it a little lighter blue like so Similarly we had black too So there was a little black here for instance So I going to change the black to this color right here So let do that And then we had here I guess
4:27
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to select this element and change the color like this
4:32
So you can see this is what it looks like now. And then we have this background image
4:36
So I'm going to change the image too. So we're going to go to upload and upload an image from our computer
4:41
So I have added this image in the background and we can also address the image size according to us
4:46
Similarly, we have this small image here that we can change and I can actually go to the elements here
4:52
And in elements, I will be getting free footage. So I can actually search for any kind of image or graphic for free
4:58
If you want to use it in your newsletter, you can actually do that really easily
5:03
So you can actually search an image from here. To add, you can actually just place it here and it will be added
5:08
So you can see this is what it looks like now. We have our text here
5:12
So the text, if I want to change it, of course, I will just select it
5:16
and I will just delete this text and write my text here
5:20
Similarly, we have like this small dots in yellow, so I'm going to actually change them to a darker blue like so
5:27
So you can see this is what it looks like now. And we have this newsletter
5:32
You know, we use this template and created a newsletter in minutes
5:36
This is how you can also create a professional newsletter of your own
5:40
This is like the very, you know, basic template that I use
5:44
You can also create a template of your own. So how you do it is you can actually go to the elements here
5:49
And in elements, we have these shapes. We have these lines and shapes that I can add to a newsletter and then I can embed
5:56
different images into it. I will also be able to add text, any kind of text
6:01
And in any kind of, you know, font, we can use it
6:04
We can add text right here above and we can add our, you know, website
6:08
We will be able to add the date. And of course, add our news that we want to go for
6:14
So you can add image. Maybe this time I can go for another kind of design, another kind of newsletter
6:20
For instance, we have something like this. It has a lot of different images and we have this other, you know, theme here
6:28
So what I going to do is I going to select this one You can see this is a weekly newsletter again We have this you know element here which is a flower element that I can change the color for
6:38
Or I can use these templates for inspiration to create something from the scratch
6:42
That also works. So here in this template, what I can do is maybe I can show you how to change like the phones and everything
6:48
And name to my newsletter, let's say, is called like Forbes. So what I can do is I can go to the fonts here and I will select any other font from here
6:58
for instance this one we have this or i can go with this one so you can see this is what it looks like
7:04
and again we have these images i can of course delete or move all of these different images from
7:10
one place to another i can decrease and increase the size um and i can maybe add a texture instead
7:16
of the image so i can just place it here like this and i want you to add text here so what i will do
7:22
is i will go to the elements here and select this one place here like this move this element of
7:28
little bit and we can also make it a little transparent so I'm going to select it click on these
7:34
three dots click on transparency and make it a little transparent and then I'm going to go to
7:40
text section add a body text and place it here like this I can add a text so you can see this is what
7:46
it looks like to change a you know the whole template of a newsletter similarly I can change the whole
7:54
theme as well if I want to change the background color to something I can do
7:58
do that. If I select this color and you can see this is what it will look like. And I can make it
8:03
more lighter. We can go for any color from here and select it. So this is how it works. On Kenva

8:16
save this newsletter, click on share and then click on download. You can download it as a PDF
