One way that Jenn builds on the views she gets on her content is by consistently using engagement stickers in her Instagram™ Stories. Whether it’s a poll or sliding sticker, Jenn is always asking for customer feedback on new jewels and designs.
If you feel like you’re talking at your customers, and not getting much feedback, it’s time to change up your strategy. Once people know that you’re genuinely interested in their feedback and opinions, they’ll be happy to share.
One way that Melissa does this really well is by giving her followers a behind the scenes look at her business and the little touches that make her jewelry special.
