How to create a DP blast online

A DP blast is a moment when a whole group switches their display picture to the same frame. Create the frame on Framezi, share the link a few days early, and pick a date and time for everyone to change their DP together.

What is a DP blast?

"DP" stands for display picture. In a DP blast, members of a church, school, company or event audience all change their profile picture to a matching frame, so the group's message appears in many feeds at once.

How to run one

  1. Create a campaign with the event name and date on the frame. The DP blast maker page has designs to start from.
  2. Turn on name printing if you want each person's name on their DP.
  3. Share the link and QR code a few days before, with a clear time: "Switch your DP on Sunday at 9 am".
  4. On the day, post a reminder in every group with the link again.
  5. Ask people to also post the tall 9:16 version to WhatsApp Status or Instagram Stories.

Tips that help

  • Ask leaders to switch first and share a screenshot: people follow people they know.
  • Keep the headline short so it stays readable on a small round profile picture.
  • Use the live wall on a venue screen to show framed photos as they come in.
