Do Instagram stories still help with engagement ?

Stories can still be useful because they keep followers connected between regular posts They also give people more reasons to interact through replies polls and questions Regular activity usually matters more than posting stories only once in a while

You need for organic reach and ads, reels for viewers to convert them to buyers, then you get followers , for them you need another IG format for engagement to make them buy from you. But both are capped to max. 10% from IG. Later when you make money spend ads to get much much more viewers (and buyers) and unlock your follower base, when you use systems DM ,use a delay always and not use meta, because it has strict DM anti spam policy.

Then you will get the ball rolling and you can scale high.

Use reels for discovery and stories for nurturing and selling, expecting Stories to bring in new reach on their own won't work but if you're trying to drive dm conversation or warm up an audience stories outperform reels every time
 
the use of instagram Stories remains an important part of the engagement process.the Reels can have more reach and can be better when it comes to attracting new followers but Stories can be effective when keeping in touch with existing audiences.it also gives you an easy way to keep them engaged between your main posts and Reels.
 
I combined both, which looks more diverse for the viewers and is also effective.
 
I believe that Stories can still be effective particularly with regard to current followers while Reels can be helpful in gaining more followers stories can prove to be effective in retaining your current followers through responses and polls
 
instagram stories still matter alot when it comes to keeping people engaged.reels are usually better for reaching new people and getting fresh followers but stories help you stay active with the audience you already have and keep that connection going.

They have their story in the reel splitet; video with you above, below th etest as story with the cta link embedded. Then you have these big split reels they have a lot of texts they are for organic reach views and for your followers ,right?
Do you add your cts link (to checkout page to make sales) in each reel, or do you make it 50:50; like posting 6 reels, 3x of them are without cta link?
 
use reels to reach new people and keep stories for building trust and making offers stories may not bring much new reach but they can work better for getting dms and turning existing viewers into warm leads
 
yeah stories still work for me, especially the poll and question stickers. reels get me new eyes but stories are what actually get people replying and dming. I use them together, reels to bring people in, stories to keep them checking back daily
