Once your Business Instagram account is set up, the next step is keeping it active and that’s easier than you might think. A few small habits can make a big difference in helping new customers discover your shop and stay connected.
1. Post regularly: aim for 1 to 2 posts per week.
2. Consistency is more important than quantity.
3. Use Instagram Stories and Reels: short videos or clips in the shop help your profile reach more people and feel more personal.
4. Engage with your followers: reply to comments and messages, it builds trust and shows involvement.
