Most SMEs post often but get few enquiries. The difference is rarely the number of posts. It is whether each post helps a stranger become a customer.
1. Say what you sell in your bio
Add what you offer, where you are and how to order. Put your WhatsApp link in the bio so people can reach you in one tap.
2. Show real products and real customers
Short videos of your work, your products in use and happy customers usually do better than stock images. People trust what looks real.
3. End every post with one clear action
Tell people what to do next: "WhatsApp us to order" or "Send us a DM for the price list". One clear action works better than three.
4. Reply to comments and messages quickly
A fast, friendly reply often decides who gets the sale. Try to answer within a few hours during working time.
5. Check what works
Look at which posts bring messages, not just likes, and make more of those. Likes feel good, but enquiries pay the bills.
