Shop Opening Video – Grand Opening Invitation Reel
Updated 9 Oct 2026
For a shop opening, Ayka can make two kinds of short video: your logo revealed with a soft glow (Logo Animation, ₹298 or 2 credits at its default settings), or your invitation poster with the date and address brought to life (Poster to Video, ₹149 or 1 credit). Both make 10-second clips, usually in a few minutes. Send them on WhatsApp before the opening and post them on Instagram.
Made with the Logo Animation style from the Ayka logo on a plain cream background. A soft glow appears behind the logo as the camera moves in; the letters stay the same.
The prompt this style uses
Animate this logo with a premium, minimal motion reveal: soft glow emerging from behind the logo, gentle push-in (slow zoom toward the logo), subtle scale-in from 95% to 100%. Static camera angle — no rotation, no spinning, no tilting, no orbiting. Clean neutral background, no added text, no watermark, professional brand video quality. Preserve the exact original text, spelling, and lettering from the reference image unchanged — do not alter, distort, misspell, or regenerate the text; keep every letter exactly as shown in the reference image.
How to make a shop opening video
Get your logo or invitation ready
For Logo Animation, a transparent PNG or a logo on a plain background works best. For Poster to Video, an invitation with the date, time, address and your number in large, simple text.
Pick the style
Logo Animation for a short brand reveal you can reuse later. Poster to Video when the video has to carry the date and address.
Choose the size
Logo Animation starts square (1:1), good for a feed post; switch to 9:16 for Reels and WhatsApp Status. Poster to Video starts at 9:16. The app shows the credits before you generate.
Check every letter
Compare the shop name, date, time and phone number in the video with your original. If anything changed, generate again.
Share it
Send it to your contacts and WhatsApp groups a week before, and again the day before, with the location pin. Post it on Instagram and set it as your Status on the day.
Tips for a shop opening
- Write the full address and a landmark in the message, and add the location pin. New customers don't know where you are yet.
- Give people a reason to come on the first day: an opening offer, a free gift or a tasting. Only promise what you will really have.
- Keep the logo video. It works later as the start or end of your other videos and as your WhatsApp Business profile video.
- After the opening, post a few photos or a short clip of the real shop and customers (with their permission), so people see it is open.
- Opening a new branch? Name the area in the first line, for example 'Now open in [area]'.
- Don't put film songs behind your video; copyrighted music can get your post muted or removed.
Styles for a shop opening
What to put in the invitation
- Shop name and what you sell, in one line.
- Date and time of the opening.
- Full address with a landmark.
- Phone or WhatsApp number.
- The opening offer, if you have one, with the last date.
What to watch for
Logo Animation is told to keep your lettering exactly, and it passed our test on the Ayka logo, but AI can still change letters in other logos, especially thin or handwritten ones. Poster to Video can change small text such as phone numbers. Read every word before you send it. Neither style adds ribbons, balloons or festive decorations; if you want a scene like that, describe it in 'Write your own', which we haven't tested for opening videos.

Questions
How do I make a shop opening invitation video?
Make an invitation poster with the shop name, date, time, address and phone number, then upload it to the Poster to Video style and generate in 9:16. Read every word in the result before you send it. It costs 1 credit (₹149) at its default settings.
Can I animate my shop logo for the opening?
Yes, with the Logo Animation style. It turns your logo image into a 10-second reveal with a soft glow on a clean background and is told to keep the lettering exactly. It costs 2 credits (₹298) at its default settings. A transparent PNG works best. The free ad for new accounts doesn't cover this style.
What should a grand opening video say?
Who you are and what you sell, the date and time, the address with a landmark, how to contact you, and a reason to come on the first day, such as an opening offer. Put the details that may change, like the offer, in the message rather than the video.
How do I share it with customers on WhatsApp?
Download the video on your phone, then send it to your contacts or a broadcast list with the address and location pin in the message. Broadcast messages only reach people who have saved your number. Also set it as your WhatsApp Status on the day before and the opening day.
