You know the saying, “work smarter, not harder”?
It’s something we hear often, but are you really working smarter if you’re not cutting down content creation time in half with Canva templates to help you create consistent, on-brand content?!
And unless you’re a designer, you probably don’t have the hours to put in to creating your own Canva templates for your various designs, like social media posts, workbooks, or presentations. You’ve got better things to do, and a limited time-frame to do it in!
As designers ourselves, we know firsthand how frustrating it is to look at a blank canvas and pull elements together only to come up short with a so-so design. Hey, it happens!
But we don’t want Haute Stock members to end up feeling that way — they need help creating engaging social media graphics, posting consistently, and repurposing their content so they can grow their business, and that’s where a Haute Stock membership comes in!
Every single month we release a collection of professionally designed, strategically crafted Canva templates for Haute Stock members that they can quickly, easily, and confidently customize with their brand colors, fonts, copy, favorite stock photos and stock videos, and design elements from the Haute Stock library.
The biggest benefit to using Canva templates is how they help business owners stay consistent with their branding. Even a couple of differently designed templates can be tweaked slightly so that they are on-band.
Below we’ve taken several Haute Stock Canva templates that are in a “light & airy” style and have shown you how those same templates look for a “dark & moody” brand.

INSTAGRAM CAROUSEL CANVA TEMPLATE
CUSTOMIZE YOUR FEED
Instagram Carousels have proven to be BFFs with the algorithm and are one of our favorite pieces of content to create for social media. We’ve personally found that Instagram Carousels are great for engagement, and are a visually appealing way to share valuable and important ideas with your audience in a bite-size format.
Carousels are also perfect when you want to repurpose a long-form piece of content, like a newsletter or blog post you’ve written. Use the prompts in these carousel templates we’ve created to share your ideas in chronological order, and customize with your fave Haute Stock images for aesthetically engaging slides.
