Instagram is free*


The lure of social media is that you can create a free account, build an audience, and make money.

Except that you can't build an audience unless you share content that your audience will like. That content is usually pretty jewelry photos with a bunch of hastags, which are those words with the # in front of them.

*It's free--until you factor in time

It's a big time suck, no doubt about it. For your social media marketing to work you need to:
  • Source good jewelry photos, usually that means you have to take them

  • Manage the #hashtags you are using

  • Reply to customers who leave comments

  • Maintain consistency with posting

  • Monitor jewelry posting trends and stay fresh

If you'd like to build a following of about 5,000 people it will take about 1 hour per day for about a year.

The dedication eventually pays off as your followers respond to posts and eventually make a purchase. You just have to maintain your dedication to this social media marketing method.


Our Instagram Service

sample Instagram jewelry postGeorge and Matthew will manage Instagram on your behalf. Let us spend the time for you so you don't have to. We'll apply our digital marketing knowledge of how consumers respond to jewelry brand hashtags and help you grow your Instagram presence.

Hashtags: Our first order of business is to figure out which jewelry hashtags will work for you. There are hundreds of different hashtags used by jewelry brands, like #engagementring and #whitegold, but they are not all equal.

For example, the hashtags used to attract self-purchasing consumers are great for retail brands to use, but jewelry designers soliciting to jewelry store owners would use a different set of tags.

You have to use the correct hashtags for your target audience. We will establish a set of hashtags unique for your brand and fine tune them every week.

Followers: Finding your target audience through correct hashtag targeting will help build your Instagram following. These are real people following and liking your posts, not paid like or fake follower accounts.

Your followers will be from all over the world, so it's important that your website offers some ability to place an order directly or leads the consumer to a purchase.

Facilitate Sales: Follower counts will make you feel warm and gooey inside, but all the effort is for naught if no one is buying. Specific posts will offer directions for making a purchase online. We recommend pointing people to your jewelry website built for ecommerce, but we can also help you register for direct sales through the Instagram app using the Instagram Shopping feature.

Instagram Shopping is tied to your Facebook Page and must be managed by the Facebook catalog Manager feature.

Engagement: Followers love when you engage with them. A simple reply to their comment will give them a reason to continue to follow you, and, better yet, it motivates them to eventually purchase from you.

Website Traffic: As we already said above, the goal of social media is to stimulate sales. If you capture the attention of your followers they will follow you right back to your website. Remember that Instagram users are worldwide, so it really behooves you to have ecommerce on your site, even if you are using a simple PayPal Buynow button.
