The Social Media Proposal template is a five-page document for pitching a complete social program. It opens with the program overview and channel, content, and response-time stat cards, states the objectives, walks through a three-phase scope — strategy, voice, and calendar; publishing and engagement; reporting and iteration — prices the retainer in a table with a computed total, and closes with an acceptance page.
Adapt it per client in Bonsai: define the voice, set the content volume, and adjust the retainer rows. Merge fields fill in the client and date automatically, and the acceptance page captures a PO number, start date, and dual 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.
How does it differ from the management template? This one pitches the full program including strategy and voice; the management template focuses on ongoing channel operations. Pick whichever matches your offer.
