What to Put Into an AI Poster Generator for a Local Business

Short answer

Give an AI poster generator a small, verified fact pack: the exact product or service name, one current price or timing fact when needed, one proof image or process detail, the customer question being answered, and the required language. A narrow brief produces a clearer poster than pasting an entire menu or asking for “something attractive.”

Who this is for

This checklist fits restaurants, cafes, salons, nail studios, pet services, and other local businesses without an in-house designer.

Input checklist

1. Exact name and current version of the product, service, menu item, or event. 2. One decision the poster should support: what is included, when it is available, or how a process works. 3. One verified fact such as serving time, service step, size, or price. 4. A real photo, process detail, or other proof that matches the claim. 5. The most repeated customer question. 6. Language and placement: feed, counter, window, or message reply.

Four-step workflow

1. Choose one question instead of a broad promotion. 2. Remove facts that do not help answer that question. 3. Build the hierarchy: answer first, proof second, supporting detail third. 4. Check names, dates, units, prices, and translations against the owner’s current source before publishing.

Example: price explainer

Question: “Why does this service cost more?” Use three confirmed process steps and one inclusion as the visual proof. Do not invent savings, results, or testimonials.

FAQ

Should I paste the whole menu?

No. Start with one item or one question, then create separate posters for other decisions.

What if I have no professional photos?

Use a clear phone photo of the real product, tool, or process. Accurate proof is more useful than a generic image.

Can the same facts become a video?

Yes. Use the poster’s question as the opening and its proof detail as the middle of a 15-second video direction.

Can I make multilingual versions?

Yes. Keep facts, units, and dates fixed, then review each language version for local wording.

How ThinkNova fits

ThinkNova supports local-store content production from a verified brief to a poster, 15-second video direction, or multilingual FAQ card. The owner supplies the facts and checks the final wording; the workflow does not promise traffic or sales.
