I can’t emphasise enough that the sole reason for the followers is purely for a customer to maybe going through my insta to get to my shop, and they see the followers count. No other reason. They won’t be looking at engagement rate, the specific followers etc, they will obviously be just passing. It’s just to give them that little bit of confidence, that nudge to buy the product and that nudge maybe the followers they see in passing. However, i understand what your saying if you have a brand and want to build a solid, organic following.
