“Only 4,200 Instagram followers — mostly friends and family, not buyers. No content strategy — posting was random, infrequent, and not converting. Zero influencer relationships or affiliate infrastructure. Product photography was inconsistent; no Reels or short-form video. No social commerce setup — no shop tags, no checkout integration. Engagement rate was below 1% — the algorithm was suppressing all organic reach.”
