Stories seem to be better for retaining the current following, whereas Reels work well for acquisition. However, a combination of both seems to be more effective; Reels for acquisition and Stories for engagement.
Exactly right. reels drive the initial wave of traffic but stories create the trusts that actually makes people click through the links. using them together is the only way to sustained engagement.
For me I try to use stories to keep my followers engaged in between posts since I do not post everyday. When I do Post I use reels 80% of time and carousels 20% of the time.
Stories may not be giving me new eye balls but stories can definitely help followers remains engaged. i have seen that a few simple stories a day can keeps the account alive.
According to me facebook stories helping in your growth like pormotionals stories .
Yes stories are only for keeping your existing audience active. Reels though attract more followers to your account.
In my experience it helps a lot for the growth. There is a feature so why not use it and gets benefit.
Reels help reach new audiences, but Stories seem to have the edge when it comes to retaining existing followers and maintaining relationships with them.
Agreed, stories needed to be posted every 24h, 2 stories in a row is best, u dont need to create content for them, just repost your last reels on first, and add link to your content ( shop, external site, etc ) in second story, best combination for basic live account.
Stories can take part in growing, but they're not effective. You can keep posting daily to keep your followers active.
There is no doubt that stories help with growth; even though it happens with me as a viewer, I have noticed for a long time that stories from a creator get famous, but I was not watching them or following him. One day I was convinced and clicked on his story and had to follow him because he makes content of interest. So yes, posting stories relevant to your work actually can help you grow.
