Most small businesses in Kenya now sell through Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and WhatsApp before anyone visits their website. That makes good-looking posts a real business cost. The question is how much to budget, and whether you need a single design or someone handling your pages every month.
One-off posts vs monthly packages
There are two common ways to pay for social media design:
- Per post. You pay for each design you need: a launch announcement, an event poster, a promotion. Good for occasional content.
- Monthly package. A set number of posts every month, often with captions, scheduling and community management. Good when you want to post consistently without doing it yourself.
Per-post design looks cheaper, but if you post every week a package usually works out better and keeps your feed consistent.
What affects social media design prices
- Volume. One post, or 16–20 every month.
- Format. Single images cost less than carousels, short videos or stories.
- Copy. Whether captions and hashtags are included or you write them.
- Management. Design only, or also scheduling, publishing and replying to comments and messages.
- Ads. Designing ad creatives and managing paid campaigns is extra work on top of organic posts.
- Brand assets. If you have a logo, colours and fonts, posts are faster to produce and look consistent. If not, consider brand identity first.

How to choose
- Launching something specific? Start with one-off posts for the launch, then decide whether you need more.
- Posting a few times a week but short on time? Growth gives you a month of content plus captions and basic replies.
- Social media is a main sales channel? Premium adds strategy sessions, stories and video, and someone handling your messages and reviews.
Tips to get more from every post
- Keep the same colours, fonts and layout style so people recognise your posts before they read them.
- Put one clear message and one call to action in each post.
- Plan around your calendar: launches, holidays and paydays.
- Check what works in your monthly report and do more of it.
