Ninety days of posts. Three things to change.

Mrs. Crumb's posts every morning and wonders why nobody sees it. I went through 120 posts, found where the attention actually is, and turned it into three changes they can start tomorrow.

Demo project. Fictional bakery, generated data. The photos are frames from a real film: Vegan Pastry - Voted Best Croissant in Miami, Chef's Roll, CC BY 3.0.

They post at 9. Their followers show up at 9 p.m.

Each square is one hour of the week, brighter when more followers are online. The rings are where Mrs. Crumb's actually posted. Hover any square for the numbers.

Reels reach people. Carousels get saved.

Every dot is one post: how many people it reached, and how many of them liked, commented or saved it. Switch formats on and off, hover a dot to see the post.

The three best posts

    The three changes.

    Post in the evening, not at 9 a.m.

    73% of posts went out before 11 a.m. Evening posts reached 2.6× more people than morning ones, with the same croissants.

    Make every second post a Reel.

    A typical Reel reached 2,177 people, a typical photo 890. Carousels stay for recipes and menus: they get saved about ten times more often.

    Show the night shift, not just the pastries.

    Posts with the bakers and real 3 a.m. stories got 1.2× the engagement of plain product shots. People follow people.

    Take the data.
