Shelf-talker reviews
Real customer reviews as 'shelf talkers', the cards a shop clips to the shelf edge: the cover is a stocked shelf with a talker per review hanging from it, then each page is one talker up close — the review word for word, its stars, who wrote it and what they bought — swinging a little from its clips, and the last page leaves a blank talker for the next review. Proof at the shelf, where the buying happens, for a bakery, a boutique or a store.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Shelf-talker reviews for posts that prove a point, start a conversation or get people to act, when the message is a quote or a list. It is built first to prove a point.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Made for Sells to consumers, Serves customers locally. The Director offers it only to brands of that kind, so it never turns up for a business it does not suit.

Carousel of 3–10 slides. Each size is laid out for its canvas, not cropped; the sample above is the 4:5 version.
What it needs
The Director offers it only when these exist. Without them it simply picks another template.
- Real proof to show: a testimonial, a review or a result
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- Only real reviews, quoted word for word from the post or the brand's own reviews; the name and rating exactly as given.
- One review per page; no review is shortened in a way that changes what it says.
- The last page invites the next review or one action.
Visual rules
- A shop wall in a light brand tint with a shelf across it: jars, boxes and bottles drawn as plain shapes in the brand's tones on the shelf, and its dark brand price-channel edge.
- The cover hangs one small talker per review from the shelf edge (stars or a quote mark and the name), under the headline; each page hangs one talker large — a brand band with 'Customer review' and the stars, the review in a serif italic, the name and what they bought — tilted a degree from its metal clips.
- The last page hangs a blank talker with the call to action; the n / N counter sits on the wall.
