SMM PROPOSAL
The program runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a review meeting before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · STRATEGY + CALENDAR
Audience and competitor review, channel-by-channel strategy, tone and visual guidelines, and a rolling 90-day content calendar aligned to your launches and campaigns.
PHASE 2 · EXECUTION
Copy, graphics, and short-form video produced against the calendar, routed through a lightweight approval flow, and scheduled to publish across your primary channels.
PHASE 3 · COMMUNITY + REPORTING
Daily monitoring of comments, DMs, and mentions with on-brand replies, plus monthly written reports and a live dashboard covering growth, engagement, and pipeline signals.
Not included: paid boost budget, video shoots, influencer partnerships, and custom illustration. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The SMM Proposal template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries an overview with stat cards, objectives, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, start date, and both signatures.
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.
