Me at the Fair Trade Federation Conference |
|
I work tirelessly on social media, all in an effort to get
Dunitz & Company's
fair trade jewelry noticed. The
Shop Dunitz Instagram feed seems to steal a lot of my attention. Unfortunately posting pretty pics of our jewelry and models wearing our jewelry only seems a small part of the effort. Growing an engaging, interesting and interested following seems near impossible. I like interacting with other users. I follow accounts I think I may find interesting or those I think should know about
Dunitz & Company. Sometimes these accounts follow back and dialog with me. Most don't. And honestly, if they're not interested in interacting, I typically move on. Gotta say, I enjoy the give and take. I've never paid for followers or for bot programs that interact with accounts impersonating me.
(I've considered the latter. But it seems so unnatural to me when bots comment on my photos.) So what's a girl to do?
It is estimated that there are over 100 million accounts on Instagram. Can you believe it? The sheer volume of images and information passing through my feed and/or #hashtag searches makes it a daunting task to find those I identify with and/or choose to learn something from.
If you're interested in saving our environment, thrifting or conservation, here are 10 Instagramers I've discovered to be engaging and engaged. None of them seem to be gamers. Just amazing humans sharing good information. I'd love to support their efforts and hope their voices will be heard a bit louder. In no particular order. No targeted editorial comments. Just my recommendation to follow and dialog.

After you've followed these accounts for a while, please let me know what you think of them. If you have some Instagram accounts you think I'd enjoy interacting with, I'd sure appreciate the recommendations. If you're not watching the
Dunitz & Company Instagram feed, please do. If you're seeking
fair trade jewelry for you or for a gift, please consider one of my beautiful designs from Guatemala. (
Yeh, I had to end with that!) Thanks all. Thanks for reading. - ND
