Optimizing Credit Allocation

Tips for making the most effective use of your credits to maximize your creative output.

Updated over 3 months ago

Efficient credit management is key to ensuring a smooth and productive content creation process. By optimizing your credit allocation, you can maximize your creative output, avoid bottlenecks, and ensure that your team always has the resources they need to deliver high-quality content.

Here are some strategies to help you make the most of your credits:

1. Plan your projects in advance

Map out your content calendar and identify when you'll need to brief projects to meet your deadlines. Anticipate your credit needs based on the types of deliverables you'll be requesting (e.g., static images, videos, stop motion). Ensure that you have sufficient credits available when you need to brief new projects.

2. Utilize your full credit capacity

Optimize your content production by utilizing your credit limit to its fullest potential. Aim to use most, if not all, of your available credits consistently. To extract maximum value from each project, take advantage of the complimentary text and format variations offered.

Keep track of your credit usage patterns. If you frequently find yourself requiring additional active credits to meet your content needs, it may be worthwhile to evaluate and consider upgrading your subscription plan. This ensures your content creation capacity aligns with your business demands. Below is an example of how to make the most of your credit capacity with concurrent projects:

3. Communicate with your team

Ensure that all team members understand how credits work and how they're allocated for each project. Coordinate with your colleagues to understand their project needs and timeline. By aligning your efforts, you can avoid competing for credits and ensure a steady flow of content production.

4. Prepare draft briefs in advance

Have draft briefs ready in your queue so you can initiate projects as soon as credits become available. This proactive approach ensures that you can maintain a consistent content production flow without delays. Regularly review and refine your draft briefs to align with your evolving content strategy.

5. Opt for smaller, more regular projects

Instead of briefing large, infrequent projects that consume a significant portion of your credits, aim for smaller, more regular creative projects. This approach allows you to continuously iterate and refine your content based on performance and feedback. Smaller, more frequent projects also provide more flexibility to adjust your strategy as needed.

6. Monitor your credit usage

Regularly check your credit balance and usage in your account dashboard. Track your credit consumption over time to identify trends and opportunities for optimization. If you notice that certain types of projects are consuming more credits than expected, consider adjusting your briefing strategy.

7. Consult with your account manager

Your account manager is a valuable resource for optimizing your credit usage. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific needs and content goals. Don't hesitate to reach out for guidance on making the most of your credits.
