Photo and creative checklist
- Gift guide covers in 4:5 and 9:16, grouped by budget.
- On-model close-ups for hero necklaces and earrings.
- Presentation shots: velvet cases, ribbon, packaging.
- Offer creatives with space for a headline. A 3:2 or 9:16 composition leaves room for text.
- Festive scenes such as warm candlelight or winter backdrops.
Producing it all quickly
Shooting dozens of seasonal variants by hand is a lot of work. With Jewellery Photoshoot you can upload a piece once and generate festive, velvet and on-model versions in the aspect ratio you need, add your logo and a short title, then post. That is especially useful when you want multiple creatives per product for A/B tests.
Practical advice
- Do not wait for Black Friday week to shoot. Prepare creatives by early November.
- Keep colours honest. Gift buyers return pieces that do not match the photo.
- Put delivery cut-off dates on your posts and product pages.
- Reuse the same style for every post so the campaign feels cohesive.
