The Branding Proposal template is a five-page document for pitching a complete identity project. After the cover page comes a brand overview with timeline, deliverables, and revision-round stat cards, a three-phase scope covering positioning, visual identity, and guidelines, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with client inputs and signatures.
Bonsai makes every part of it yours — edit the phases and deliverables to match your studio's process, let merge fields handle the client details, and send it with signature blocks already in place. Save it once and reuse it for every identity pitch.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
Can I limit revision rounds? Yes — the overview includes a rounds stat card and the scope spells out what each phase delivers, so revision expectations are set upfront.
