We're setting posting deadlines in our brief. How much time should we give creators to produce a Reel from when they receive the product?
Realistic production timelines for Indian creators: Nano/micro (under 50k, solo operation): 5–10 days from product receipt. Mid-tier (50k–500k, semi-professional): 3–7 days with proper brief. Macro/professional (500k+): may have a content calendar — 2–4 week lead time needed. What affects timing: creators with editing teams are faster. Festival or peak seasons add 3–5 days buffer. If product assembly or setup is needed, add 2 days. Recommended brief structure: Product dispatch date + 5 days for product arrival + 7 days for production + 2 days for your review = 14 days minimum from dispatch to live. Never ask for next-day turnaround — you'll get rushed content that underperforms.
