## Instagram for a Custom Furniture Maker

An effective Instagram account for a woodworking or custom furniture business focuses on process, craftsmanship, and customer stories. Reels of the build process consistently outperform static posts.

Plan Your Content

Mix three content types: process Reels, finished piece carousels, and customer reaction or delivery videos. Batch-shoot content one day per week so you are not scrambling daily.

Post Strategically

Use 5 to 10 targeted hashtags per post mixing broad woodworking tags with niche ones. Tag the wood species, the finish, and any tools visible. Post Reels between 6pm and 9pm in your audience's timezone.

Engage and Convert

Reply to every comment within the first hour. Answer DMs the same day. Add a link in bio to your quote request form. Use the Close Friends story feature to give VIP followers early access to pieces.

Film a 30-second Reel of your shop and tools for the first post

Batch-shoot 3 builds worth of process content before launching
