Services Overview

I offer a variety of copywriting services, including blogs, emails, social media posts, sales pages, and lead magnets.

This is a very brief summary of the 7 services I offer. A majority of the services I offer are on a recurring monthly basis. For example, my blogging and social packages repeat monthly for either 3 months or 6 months at a time, while the sales page and lead magnet packages are a 1-time-price since businesses don’t need a new sales page and lead magnet every month.

  1. Blog Bloom package ($1,900) = 4 blogs, 4 emails, 2 strategy calls each month

  2. Blog Bud package ($950) = 2 blogs, 2 emails, 1 strategy call each month

  3. Sales Page Sunshine package ($700) = 1 full sales landing page, 3 strategy calls (one time price)

  4. Lead Magnet Magnolia package ($500) = 1 guide, checklist, or e-book in PDF form to give your readers in exchange for their email (one time price)

  5. Pinterest Peony package ($350) = 4 custom pins with visuals and descriptions each month

  6. Instagram / Facebook Rose Social package ($300) = 4 Instagram or Facebook posts with visuals and descriptions each month, with option of tagging and hashtags

  7. LinkedIn Lily Package ($250) = 4 ghostwritten posts with a visual and option of hashtags each month

You will have the option to try out blogging and social media packages for a 1-time, 1-month-trail to see if you would like to commit to 3 or 6 months. The reason why I ask clients to agree to 3 months or 6 months at a time is because it does take a little time to see results from blogs and social media efforts. Agreeing to 3 or 6 months also allows me to reserve time for YOUR business and ensure that I will be able to dedicate quality time to you so that I can create high-quality content.

Previous Work - Social Media

The 3 square photos below are custom graphics for Instagram that also lead readers back to blogs.

The 5 posts below are Facebook posts promoting a Christmas musical, One Sleepy Night-Detroit, for a client.

Posts highlighted actresses like Val and fun additions to the event like Blitzen the reindeer. I also created content that shared nearby events, such as the tree lighting and restaurants close to the venue. Posting about these positioned the Christmas musical as an experience, rather than just a play. I also shared information about safe and convenient parking to lower the friction of a purchase by doing the work for the customer. This meant that potential customers didn’t need to spend time looking up parking options because I took the time to share that information with them, making them less likely to use the excuse of hard-to-find parking as a reason not to attend the event.

Highlighting benefits, preventing excuses, and creating an experience are all things that I can do for your business’s social media strategy, too!

About Me & My Why

Hi there! I’m Selena.

The copywriter, content strategist, and founder of Carnation Creative.

I believe in writing that blooms with purpose. Whether it's a blog post that builds trust, a scroll-stopping pin on Pinterest, or a lead magnet that brings the perfect customers to you, I help businesses like yours show up with clarity, confidence, and connection.

At Carnation Creative, my goal is simple: to help you grow. So, if you're a founder who’s passionate about your business but doesn’t have the time to write all the things—you’re in the right place.

I love marketing and copywriting so much because they connect people who have a want, need, or problem to the solutions that are perfect for them - i.e. your services and products! And helping people like that feels really, really good.

A few fun things about me to break the ice, and that we may have in common, include that I love dogs, flowers, traveling, coffee, party planning, and mental health.

Let’s create something beautiful and effective together.

 FAQs

  • My free 30 minute consultation calls are to get to know you and your business. They’re also a space for you to ask any questions you might have.

    We’ll introduce ourselves and you can tell me what your goals and challenges are. Once I get a better understanding of who you are and what you do (and vis versa), you can let me know if you would like more info.

    If you say “yes!” I’ll send over my service guide and a customized proposal for you. Yay!

    If you say, “not right now,” that’s okay. There’s no pressure and no hard feelings. I want to provide you with real value and help. And I understand you might not need this at the exact moment we speak, but that you could later on down the line.

  • If you choose, I can deliver a monthly analytics report with key metrics like page views, time on page, click through rate, conversions, social media shares, comments, and more, so that we stay on track towards your goals!

    This will require either giving me access to view your Google or WordPress Analytics, or giving me the contact information of a team member at your business who can provide me with screenshots of this information.

  • Yes. My blogs and social media packages are monthly retainers that require a minimum time commitment of 3 months. There is also an option to book a 6 month retainer.

    I know it can be scary working with someone new, so you do have the option for a 1-time, 1-month trial for my blog and social media packages to ensure that you are happy. After the 1 month trial, if you wish to continue working together, I do ask that you commit to a 3 or 6 month retainer.

    The reason for this is because it takes time to see actual results and changes in performance from blogging and social media. But the good news is that high quality blogs add up and build great SEO, customer trust, and so much more. And consistent social media presence keeps you top of mind with your customers and makes you a memorable brand. The results that you will reap for years to come are worth the investment.

    There is not a time commitment for my sales page and lead magnet packages as these pieces of content are one-and-done packages since businesses don’t need a new sales page and lead magnet every month.

  • Blogs, sales landing pages, and lead magnets will range from 500 - 1,500 words. I find that these kinds of content need to be at least 500 words to effectively communicate a topic.

    If you would like content over 1,500 words, the price will increase.

    Social media packages such as Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn posts will range from 100 - 600 words.

    If you would like content over 600 words, the price will increase.

  • SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It basically involves all the things that make your website pop up when someone types words or a question into a search engine like Google. For example, if a person typed “dog groomer” into Google, the first page of Google results will show that person several dog grooming businesses.

    SEO is a science in itself that involves what keywords you use on your website, how your website is formatted with headings, how long your website has been around, links to and from your website and so much more.

    The main way I will implement SEO best practices into the content I write for you is by using specific keywords that your target audience is likely to search for. I use award-winning software for this keyword research, called Mangools.

  • Email. Specifically, selena@carnationcreative.com.

    I will respond to your email within 24 hours during my set business hours which are Monday - Friday, 9:00a.m. - 5:00p.m. EST.

  • Carnation Creative was originally named after my love of flowers, but it goes deeper than that. I love having flowers in my home, my garden, and my life in general. Botanical gardens are my happy place. So far, my top favorites are the Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania and the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

    As I kept flowers in my home, I noticed that carnations could stay alive far longer than any other flower. Sometimes, they thrive for up to a whole month! That strength and grace is something I admire and wanted to honor with my business.

    Carnations also symbolize love, distinction, and fascination. And the flowers are said to get their name from the Greek word for coronation because they were featured in flower crowns. 

    It is my hope that Carnation Creative makes you, your business, and your brand feel like a carnation. Like royalty, loved, distinct (special), fascinating (admired), graceful, and insanely strong. Because you are.
