What to Include in Your Social Media Proposal

What to Include in Your Social Media Proposal

A prospective client reaches out. What you send back is often the deciding moment, before a single post has ever been planned.

Below are the six key sections we build into every social media proposal, and what each one is doing.


01 / Our Service & Expertise

An overview of who we are and what we bring to this partnership. Clear enough that the client understands the depth of thinking behind the work, before they read a single deliverable.


02 / Intentions & Goals

Three intentions, framed around awareness, engagement, and action, tailored to what this specific client actually wants. Not generic copy, but a direct reflection of the goals discussed on the call.


03 / Recommended Package

The package itself: description, deliverables, and price. Clear enough that a client can see exactly what they're getting, without needing to ask.


04 / The Value of Social Media Management

Why this matters, beyond the deliverables list. What changes for the client once strategy, content, and consistency are properly held for them.


05 / Design & Direction

A sense of what their content will actually look and feel like. This is where the proposal starts to feel real, rather than theoretical.


06 / Timeline

What happens, and when, from signing through to the first post going live. Removes ambiguity before it ever becomes a question.
