Run Promotions That Actually Get Noticed: The Promo Offer Preset

Weekend sale? Holiday special? New customer discount? The Promo Offer preset creates bold, attention-grabbing promotional visuals that drive action.

ImageLayer Team ·

You’re running a 20% off weekend sale. You post about it on Instagram. The caption is great. But the image is either a stock photo of shopping bags or a hasty Canva creation where the text is slightly off-center and the colors don’t match your brand.

Promotional visuals need to do one thing above all: be immediately readable. The offer, the deadline, and the action step should hit the viewer in under two seconds.

How to Use the Promo Offer Preset

The Promo / Special Offer Content Type creates bold, attention-grabbing promotional visuals with clear visual hierarchy. You fill in four fields:

  1. Offer Headline: “20% OFF All Cakes This Weekend!”
  2. Offer Details: “Valid April 5-6. Use code SWEET20 at checkout. Minimum order $30. Free delivery on orders over $50.”
  3. Urgency Element: “This weekend only”
  4. Visual Style: “Bold and colorful”

The preset generates a professional marketing graphic where the offer jumps off the screen — bold design with clear hierarchy that makes the deal immediately readable.
