Growing reach with Instagram Reels

Instagram tends to show short videos to people who do not follow you, which makes Reels a strong tool for reach. A good Reel needs not complex equipment but the right edit.

The first second

Viewers decide in the first second or two whether to stay. Open with a moving, interesting frame; do not use a long intro.

Length and rhythm

Keep it short and rhythmic; 10–30 seconds is enough for most businesses. Cut unnecessary parts.

Sound and captions

Most viewers watch muted, so add captions. When using music, choose options suited to your account type and licensing.

Ideas for Bodrum

  • A terrace at sunset and meal preparation
  • A transition from a yacht deck to the marina
  • A before-and-after of a service
  • Short frames from the kitchen
  • An edit showing the short process of a job

Consistency

A regular series is more lasting than one viral video. Plan the series in the calendar; see how to build a social media content calendar.
