One of our interns asked a question in a meeting the other day: “How come we charge so little for such an essential service?” And all of the seasoned employees chuckled at that question. Because he’s right about one thing: what we do is essential.
But oh, what you fail to grasp, silly little intern, is that “service” is the key word there. Serving our customers is priceless.
I turned to that intern and said, very simply, “It’s precisely because we are in the service business that makes us HAPPY to do it. Everything else comes after, even price.”
It took him a while to comprehend, as most of our internal processes have, but I could see the idea starting to materialize for him.
So why is this so important to us?
Because at Cuztom Captionz, LLC your happiness is our happiness. We know exactly what it’s like to open the Instagram app and want to tell the world who you are, but have to let the picture do the talking.
And that might lead you to think your caption should describe in great detail exactly what the photo means to you. You might even want to write a letter about what your mind state was at the time of it being taken. Or even worse: you might feel like you should describe exactly what’s going on in the photo… in words!
But no one should ever have to stoop that low. And we won’t put you through that. It is our pleasure to shoulder that burden.
Because he still looked terribly confused, I took a moment to turn it back on the young, chirping intern by asking him a question: “Think about it, are you going to be the one to explain ‘engagement’ to our customers?”
His pupils dilated and he waived a finger at me. I knew I had him.
He gulped, and said he was never going back to that “old job, where they would use that word every other sentence.”
That’s exactly right.
I responded softly, “That’s exactly right. So you see my point. We’re trained to be client-first so we don’t have to deal with questions like that. Our clients want to express themselves, and that’s our only goal. We don’t worry them with other notions.”
He was quiet for the rest of the day. But thankfully, it allowed him to stop being so damn inquisitive, and get more work done to service our lovely clients.
Clients, hopefully, just like you.
OUR PROMISE:
Here at Cuztom Captions, LLC we’re committed to providing you the best way to describe your new aesthetic. We’ve sourced the best talent from around the country—many of them volunteers—and they’re working around the clock to fit your needs. These experts have been working in social media creation for the better part of a decade and they know exactly what it takes. They won’t limit you to the most recent drake song hook, or even a lil baby lyric that could easily appear on someone else’s profile. We want YOU to shine, and our personnel is very cognizant of that.
The process is simple:
You send us a link to your instagram @username and a compressed JPEG (no more than 4MB please) of the photo you need a caption for. But before we ever look at it, we ask you to answer a few questions about what you were feeling in the moment when you posed for the picture. Is it something about what you were doing in the photo? Should we draw attention to the shoes, the hat, the whole fit? Let us know. Speaking indirectly to someone in your past? Tell us a little bit about them.
Our Photo Last, Feeling First™ approach ensures that you get to get out all the emotions you need before we even look at the photo in question. Our experts take all the pressure off of posting anxiety.
Once we have a sense of what you’re looking for and your follower base, we’ll set you up with one of our experts for an in-depth 1-on-1 conversation. Here, we get right to the heart of the matter and allow you to go deep on what you’re looking to express.
We then use that to cook up a fully bespoke caption (typically takes 2-3 business days), which you can copy/paste into the text field and share immediately to your followers. Don’t forget to credit the photog! But no attribution is needed on our part.
It’s really that simple.
So call us today.
Our motto is: get a free quote from us so you don’t have to quote anyone else.

Note: we don’t draft captions for non-personal photography. Wildlife, landscapes, etc. We’re not sure why you would even post actual photography on instagram anymore, but for the sake of argument we just don’t have the tools to accommodate it. A tip from our staff: just put the date and the location and post it
TESTIMONIALS:
“I had spent so much time thinking about my fit, and the whole night I was plotting on couple backdrops where I could take the photo. But by that time I was too exhausted to think of what to say. I talked to Eleanor at Cuztom and she hooked me up. 5 stars!!”
— Jeff
“I was considering doing a caption-less dump (just an emoji) so that I had less to explain about me being MIA on IG for so long but I saw the ad and said Why Not!! You know that saying “a pic is worth 1000 words” well that’s too much for me to write lol. and w/ 10 pics that’s 10,000 words omg. But Cuztom assured me that at least the words wouldn’t be anyone else’s! I decided against the emoji and am so happy with my brand new caption.”
— Amber
Disclaimer: we do help with photo dumps on occasion, but we ask that you limit your inquiries to Photo Elimination/Curation and single captions. We don’t draft multiple captions that try to speak to multiple photos. It goes against our principles.
“Gone are the days of me combing twitter at the last minute for timely phrases. Now I just go straight to Devon at Cuztom Captions (I think I spelled his name right, our conversations have all been over the phone!) and he knows exactly what I’m going for.”
— Carlton
“Shit Got Me Right ! Evry1 Was LUvving it !”

“I got less likes on it than a previous picture, so I’ll have to see what happens in the future. But I just really liked talking to Jeremy. He asked so many good questions and it was only when I got off the call I realized we had been talking for an hour. Ngl we had great chemistry lol. Hey Jeremy”
— Diamond
“Da hardest thing for a real N***a da do is pick a nice caption! Shout Out Customz”
— Cheeze76
“The process is really long, and I didn’t expect that. I was unpacking things about my life that I hadn’t expected just by talking to… Jeremy, I think was his name? I live somewhat isolated in a small town where I rarely get to share those things, and posting is usually how I do it. But in the end, I actually decided against posting the picture. In fact, I realized how important the work that Cuztom is doing, so I’m applying for a job there first thing tomorrow.”
