I’ve made my Instagram account Private.
I’ll be following all the sales reps in my database, if they have an Instagram account.
If you are a fashion designer and wish to get access, please submit a request via my Instagram account. At this time, for everyone else, I’m not providing access to follow, unless I follow you. I believe in reciprocity.
In the meantime, I’m purging my Instagram account by removing all followers who are not apparent to me as fashion designers. I’ve whittled down my follower count from over 7k down to 970. That took over a year!
I’m also removing who I am following to only sales reps, showrooms, fashion bloggers, and fashion influencers. Basically people that may be able to help you grow as a designer.
In summary, all the people I follow will be sales reps and other people that I feel could potentially help your business. All my followers will mainly be fashion designers.
This way all my followers will be able to see only sales reps and other fashion related businesses that can help them grow their brand. It will not have junk and spam accounts. Everyone will be a potential networking connection.
