Per post or monthly package?
If you only need a few designs for a festival or offer, paying per post is simple. If you post regularly, a monthly package gives a consistent look and a planned content calendar.
What affects the price
- Number of creatives per month
- Custom illustration or product edits
- Whether brand guidelines already exist
- Turnaround time and revisions
What to ask before you hire
- How many revisions are included?
- Will you get editable files?
- Do they plan a content calendar?
- Do they design for the right sizes (feed, story, reel cover)?
Tips for better social media creatives
Keep one clear message per post, use a fixed colour and font system, leave space around the text and keep your logo placement the same every time.
Example monthly budgets
- Occasional offers: 4 posts and 2 stories = ₹2,600 (4 × ₹500 + 2 × ₹300).
- Weekly carousel: 4 carousels in a month = ₹6,000 (4 × ₹1,500).
- Regular posting: a monthly package of 12 to 20 creatives at ₹8,000 to ₹18,000, planned as one content calendar.
These examples use starting rates and are only a guide. Complex edits or illustrations can change the final quote.
Frequently asked questions
Do these rates include posting and ads?
These rates are for design. Scheduling, posting and ad management can be discussed separately.
How many creatives do I need each month?
Many brands post three to five times a week, which is why monthly packages of 12 to 20 creatives are common.
Can I get editable files?
Ask for editable files up front so your team can make small text changes without a designer.
