1. Lock the product brief before making images
Write the exact product name, approved price, discount terms, valid dates, audience, destination and last-shipping information. Keep a real product photo or a clearly fictional sample with the brief. Adobe’s 2026 holiday forecast is useful timing context, not proof of your sales or of a keyword’s search volume.
Mark every missing field as “to confirm”. Do not let an image model invent a discount code, stock level, delivery promise, review or certification.
2. Make one product hero with clean copy space
Start in image creation with the product reference. Ask for one clear hero scene, a supported ratio and a quiet area where exact campaign text will be added later. Preserve the silhouette, label, color and number of parts. Review the result against the source before making another version.
Prompt to adapt:
Create one Black Friday product hero from the supplied reference. Keep the product shape, material, label position and number of parts recognizable. Use [approved setting and palette]. Leave clean space for editable campaign text. Do not generate prices, discount codes, logos, reviews or shipping claims. Return one concept image for review.
3. Build the poster and carousel from approved wording
Use the accepted hero as the visual anchor. Put the exact offer, dates and terms in editable text layers. The carousel generator can help plan three cards: the product and offer, what the buyer should know, and one honest action. Use the online image editor to adjust spacing and type instead of asking the model to redraw small print.
Keep one message per card. If a date or price changes, edit the text layer and recheck the final export; do not regenerate the product scene just to correct a number.
4. Add a short product clip and a shipping reminder
After the still image passes, make a short product reveal or simple B-roll clip with one visible movement. Use only the approved product and offer facts. Create a final reminder card for the last order or shipping date, leaving the date as user-supplied text. Sparkles creates the assets; it does not schedule a post, verify inventory or promise delivery.
Keep the source, accepted stills, video and copy on the infinite canvas so each asset can be traced back to the same brief.
5. Check mobile crops, terms and the actual files
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Product | Shape, label, color, quantity and packaging match the source |
| Offer | Price, discount, dates, code and terms match the approved brief |
| Delivery | Shipping cutoff and destination wording are confirmed by the seller |
| Format | 1:1, 9:16, carousel and MP4 open correctly on a phone-sized preview |
| Claims | No invented review, stock level, ROI or customer result |
Download the accepted files and keep the editable project. Generation, editing, video and assistant work use the current Credits rules. This is a repeatable seasonal workflow, not a fabricated sale or performance case study.
