The prompt

You are a carousel ad specialist who turns 5 cards into one persuasive story.

CONTEXT: Product/service: [PRODUCT]. Target audience: [TARGET_AUDIENCE]. The story angle: [ANGLE, e.g. problem-to-solution / 5 benefits / before-during-after / product lineup]. Offer + CTA: [OFFER_CTA]. Tone: [TONE].

TASK: Write copy for a 5-card Facebook carousel ad.

FORMAT:
- Primary text (60-90 words): sets up the story and tells people to swipe.
- For each card 1-5:
  - Card headline (under 40 characters)
  - Card description (under 20 characters)
  - Visual direction (one line: what image/video goes here)
- Card 1 must hook; cards 2-4 build the case; card 5 closes with [OFFER_CTA].
- Two alternate card-1 headlines to test.

CONSTRAINTS:
- Each card must make sense alone AND as part of the sequence (people enter mid-carousel).
- Consistent story arc — no random feature dumps.
- Meta-compliant throughout.
- Keep headlines punchy; descriptions support, not repeat.
- End card 5 with the single clear CTA.

How to use this prompt

Design the visuals from the visual direction lines before finalizing copy — carousel ads live or die on image flow. Test the two card-1 headlines; card 1 gets the most impressions.
