The Social Media Marketing Proposal template is a five-page document for pitching a paid-and-organic social program. It covers the program overview with channel, creative, and testing stat cards, the objectives, a three-phase scope — strategy and creative brief, creative and media management, reporting and iteration — an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page.
Tailor the program in Bonsai: choose the channels, set the creative volume, and describe your testing approach, then price it in the fee table. Merge fields fill in the client and date, and the acceptance page gathers the 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.
Paid, organic, or both? Both — the scope splits creative from media management, so you can run organic-only, paid-only, or a blended program from the same document.
