Posting frequency & content calendar:
1. Posting three to four times a week is recommended if daily posting isn't feasible. The key is to pick a schedule and stick to it consistently. Remember- quality > quantity and consistency in posting is key.
2. Use different formats of posts to keep your existing audience engaged and to reach new people. If you are posting everyday, we propose the following content mix: one static post, two carousels (one showcasing products and the other detailing the brand's journey), and two to three reels highlighting various aspects of the brand, trends, or behind-the-scenes moments. Additionally, post 4-5 stories daily, capturing small victories or customer interactions.
3. Align the timing of your posts with your audience's most active hours. You can determine the same by accessing insights on the "Professional dashboard" and posting half an hour before or during peak activity periods.
