Executive summary · Sections 8–11
8–11. Social channels
Facebook & Instagram, X, TikTok/Reels, and Pinterest — phone-first.
8. Facebook & Instagram (Meta): phone-first
Organic
-
Instagram
@daycarephotodownload(if not already created).- Bio: “Every daycare photo, in your iPhone’s camera roll. We never see your photos. One license, every device: it runs in Chrome too.”
- Bio link: the App Store campaign link (
ct=ig_bio). Nearly all Instagram viewers are on phones, and it’s the fewest taps. Put the site link in a story highlight for laptop and Android users. - Cadence: 3 Reels/week from the iPhone screen recording (§10). Pin the top 3.
- Facebook Page: 2 posts/week from phone-first creatives (§14) plus
COPY.mdcaptions rewritten (below). -
Parent groups (from
ADS.md):- Only post where you or a real spouse or friend belongs. Follow the rules; use variant B (link in first comment) where needed.
- One post per group.
- Rewrite the key line from “It’s a Chrome extension…” to: “It’s an iPhone app: you log in to Procare like normal (your password never goes to them), pick your kid, and every photo lands in your camera roll. The same license also works in a Chrome version for laptops.”
Paid (keep retargeting-first)
- Campaign “Retargeting – site visitors” (built, Off). Before turning it on: add the card, then load phone-first creatives as ads 1–3 and laptop creatives as 4–5 (§14).
- Optimization event: Purchase fires only for Stripe (desktop) buyers. Add an
AppStoreClickcustom event on App Store link clicks (§12) and optimize toward it, or use Purchase + AppStoreClick as a custom conversion. - Do not add the Meta SDK to the app for app-install campaigns. It conflicts with your “no third-party analytics SDK” stance (
USAGE-TRACKING.md). Web → App Store is the route. - Placements: Advantage+, but check Reels and Stories get 9:16 creative (new; see §14).
- Turn-on trigger: ~500 visitors in 30 days or 10 purchases. Cold test (month 2, your rule): only if retargeting CTR > 1%.
3 Meta ad drafts (your angles, iPhone-first)
-
Angle A, loss (image:
higgsfield/final/ad-phone-1080.png; 9:16 version needed)- Primary: “When your child leaves daycare, the parent account closes and the photos go with it. Daycare Photo Download saves every photo and video, full size and dated, straight to your iPhone’s camera roll in a few minutes. We never see your photos. $19.99/year, refund any year you don’t use. (On a laptop? The same license works in Chrome.)”
- Headline: “Every daycare photo, in your camera roll”
- CTA: Learn more →

-
Angle C, ritual + calendar (image: App Store screenshot of the done screen or the “Coming up” list,
app-store/screenshots/0X.png, cropped to 4:5)- Primary: “Daycare posts three photos Monday, a video Wednesday, a whole album on field-day Friday. Open the app once a month and it saves only what’s new to your camera roll. It also spots picture day in the teacher’s notes and adds it to your calendar with a tap. $19.99/year.”
- Headline: “First Sunday of the month, every new photo is yours”
- Description: “Only fetches what’s new. We never see your photos.”
-
Angle B, share / holiday (from Nov 1; image: new phone-first share creative, i.e. the camera roll → AirDrop → Grandma text, §14)
- Primary: “The daycare has better photos of your kid than you do. Get every one, full size and in date order, in your camera roll. Then AirDrop the whole year to Grandma or drop it into this year’s photo book. $19.99/year, refund any year you don’t use.”
- Headline: “Every daycare photo, ready for the photo book”
Policy
- No “Procare” in Meta headlines (
MESSAGING.md §8). - Don’t assert personal attributes (“You’re a mom whose…”). Speak to the situation.
- No children’s faces (your rule).
- “Not affiliated with Procare” stays on the landing page.
9. X
Verdict (unchanged): organic build-in-public only, ~15 min/week. No paid X. You can’t target Procare parents, and it won’t beat a $10–12 CAC.
Angle: a solo parent-founder who bet on iPhone-first.
Sample posts (iPhone-first):
- “Our daycare posted 1,300 photos of our kid in an app with no export button. When he leaves, the account closes. So I built an iPhone app that puts every one in your camera roll in minutes, and we never see a single photo. daycarephotodownload.com”
- “Why iPhone-first: parents live in the daycare app on their phone. The fix should be on the phone too, not on a laptop they open twice a month. (Same license also unlocks the Chrome version for the laptop people.)”
- “New in the iPhone app: it reads the teacher’s notes and puts picture day on your calendar. Nothing is added until you tap.”
- “Launch week numbers: X App Store installs, Y licenses, Z refunds, Google CPC $__. Posting every Monday.”
Links: App Store campaign link (ct=x_<slug>) for iPhone-specific posts; site with utm_source=x&utm_medium=social otherwise.
10. TikTok (plus Reels and Shorts): iPhone footage only
A 4-week organic-only test. The scripts exist, and with iPhone footage they finally match where TikTok viewers are (on their phones). No paid until a post clears ~5k views or gets genuine “what app is this?” comments.
Film once, vertical 9:16 iPhone screen recordings:
- Open the app → log in on Procare’s page (blur credentials) → child picker → progress → the Photos app filling with a dated “Daycare Photo Download” album
- AirDrop / shared album to Grandma
- Teacher note → “Coming up” list → calendar event
Use demo mode (the App Review demonstration mode referenced in app-store/LISTING.md) or your own account with non-identifying shots. No children’s faces (your rule). Check what the demo media in mobile/assets/demo/ shows before using it on camera.
The Chrome popup/Finder footage from COPY.md §3 becomes a secondary clip for the occasional “on a laptop?” video.
Hooks (adapted from COPY.md for iPhone)
- “POV: your kid’s last day at daycare is Friday and the app has 2,437 photos of them.” → camera roll filling (A)
- “Things nobody tells you about daycare: when your kid leaves, the photos go with the account.” (A)
- “Me long-pressing 900 daycare photos one by one vs. me after one tap.” Split screen, sped up (D)
- “Your saved daycare photos are blurry because they’re screenshots. Here’s the real file.” Show Photos-app info panel resolution (quality)
- “Sent my mom three years of daycare photos in one AirDrop. She’s still texting me.” (B)
- “Picture day is buried in the teacher’s note you didn’t read. Now it’s on my calendar.” (calendar, iPhone-only)
- “Daycare holiday-card hack: get the originals into your camera roll tonight.” (B / holiday, Nov)
Format
- 15–25 s, captions on, app name in the last 3 s.
- Bio link = App Store campaign link (
ct=tiktok_bio). - Reply-videos for “does it get videos?” and “is it safe?”.
- No Procare logo. Saying “Procare” for search is fine, with “not affiliated” in the bio.
Creator/UGC (COPY.md §5)
- Target iPhone-using parents with kids in daycare (3k–30k followers).
- Ask them to film the camera-roll moment.
- Disclosure required (#ad / branded-content toggle).
- How to pay: the existing
/r/CODEreferral pays on Stripe purchases. A creator’s followers will mostly buy in-app, which Stripe can’t see. Give each creator a dedicated App Store campaign link (ct=creator_<name>) and pay on App Analytics proceeds or a flat fee. Unverified whether App Analytics data is granular enough for payouts; test with one creator first.
Spark Ads (only after the organic trigger): $5/day for 5 days on the winning post. Destination: the App Store campaign link (ct=tiktok_spark) or /save-procare-photos-to-iphone with utm_source=tiktok&utm_medium=cpc.
11. Pinterest (mostly phone traffic, so phone-first pins)
Keep: board “Daycare memories” with 4 live pins and the paused Performance+ campaign (ADS.md).
Pin priority (phone-first leads)
-
Lead pins:
higgsfield/final/pin-leaving-1000x1500.png→ leaving guide (add the App Store badge there first)pin-grandparents-1000x1500.png→ grandparents guidepin-weekly-1000x1500.png→/save-procare-photos-to-iphone
- New needed: a phone version of
pin-catchupwith “Every photo your daycare posted. On your phone tonight.” The current pin-catchup says “On your computer tonight” (§14). - Secondary: current
pin-catchup(computer) andlaunch-kit/pinterest-1000x1500.png(made when only Chrome was claimed; check its copy).
Boards: create the 3 planned boards (“Preschool graduation”, “Toddler photo ideas”, “Working mom hacks”) plus “Daycare photo book & holiday cards”.
New pin titles (iPhone and keepsake angle):

/save-procare-photos-to-iphone - “Daycare photo book: get the originals into your camera roll first” →
/daycare-photo-book - “Holiday cards from daycare photos: print-size, not screenshots” →
/save-procare-photos-full-resolution - “Picture day, on your calendar” (
CALENDAR-LAUNCH.md) →/never-miss-picture-day
Promoted: $1/day; promote the phone-first pin with the best save rate after 7 days. Judge on cost per landing visit and saves for month 1.
