When you run a Chirp deal, we promote your audiobook to our subscribers, helping you reach a whole host of new listeners to grow your audience. But we know you’re also promoting the deal to your existing fans across social media, ads, newsletters, and more. That’s why we’re excited to share that Chirp is now offering a free tool called the Promo Image Generator to help authors and publishers share their discounts! In this post, you’ll learn all about the tool — what it is, why you should use it, and how it works — and ways to make the most of your Chirp promotions.
What is the Promo Image Generator?
The Promo Image Generator creates downloadable promotional assets for Chirp deals in seconds. Authors and publishers who share their Chirp deals directly with their audiences amplify reach and drive more sales, but creating promotional images for different platforms can be time-consuming. The Promo Image Generator helps ease the process! The tool creates three customized images to quickly and easily enable partners to share their audiobook deals with audiences across channels. Here’s an example:
A 1080x1080px JPG for sharing on social media
A 1200x500px JPG for newsletter headers
A 300x250px JPG for ads
The tool also generates a unique link to your audiobook on Chirp and uses a template to compose sample promotional copy to share across platforms.
Why use the Promo Image Generator?
Save time on design and copy: Creating marketing assets can be time-consuming and complicated. It takes some trial and error to find the right images and words to hook listeners and to get the hang of design tools. The Promo Image Generator is here to take out the guesswork! The tool provides customized art and copy to streamline the design process — all in seconds.
Increase sales from your existing audience: Each Chirp deal reaches hundreds or even thousands of audiobook listeners, but sharing deals directly with your own audience can expand your deal’s reach and drive additional sales. The Promo Image Generator makes it easy to boost visibility for your deal by offering high-quality promotional images, a link to your deal, and sample copy encouraging readers to check out the discount.
Flexible image sizes work across platforms: Whether you’re sending a newsletter to your email subscribers, posting on social media, or running ad campaigns, we’ve got you covered! The Promo Image Generator produces three image sizes optimized for each use.
Unlimited use for any Chirp discounts: We love it when you promote your Chirp deals and when you run your own sales beyond Chirp featured deals. As long as your audiobook is discounted and available on Chirp, you can use the Promo Image Generator to create customized assets for any promotion. Featured deals on Chirp, related deals, your own special offers, and more — the Promo Image Generator works for them all! And even better, you can use it for free as often as you’d like.
How to create your marketing assets
