Shutter's up — now open
A new 'store opening', told by its own shopfront: the lit fascia board with the logo, the rolling shutter half up over a warm-lit interior with stocked shelves, 'NOW OPEN' painted across the shutter slats — then the headline, when and where. 'Grand opening', 'now open', a 'new branch', the day the 'store opens': the moment every neighbourhood notices.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Shutter's up — now open for posts that announce news, get people to act or teach, when the message is one sharp insight. It is built first to announce news.
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 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.

What it needs
Only your post. It is made from your copy and your brand kit — there is nothing else to prepare.
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
- Say NOW OPEN only for an opening the post announces; the date, time and address are the post's own.
- Never invent a launch offer; a perk appears only when the post makes it.
- Never name a marketplace, payment, delivery or maps app.
Visual rules
- A pale shopfront wall: a deep brand-colour fascia board across the top with the logo, under it a rolling steel shutter raised to half height, 'NOW OPEN' in huge condensed capitals across its slats and a warm-lit interior with two stocked shelves showing beneath.
- A step below the doorway; the headline, a calendar line and a pin line under the shopfront, a button and the website.
