June Direction

Strategy Forward

Three moves for June, grounded in May data.

Doubling Down

Protect the Conversion Path

CTR & Link Taps · Consultation Goal

CTR (14.2%) and link taps (138) are the funnel's strength. Keep the bio link pointed at consultation booking and a clear call to action in every caption so high-intent visitors convert.

Fixing

Earn the Save and the Comment

Saves & Comments · Engagement Goal

Saves and comments ran below target. Build educational carousels (the four Cs, the custom-design process) and ask one specific question per post to pull replies.

Testing Next

More Short-Form Video

Retention & Reach · Awareness Goal

The feed leans on static imagery, which caps retention. Test two short Reels a week (BTS at the bench, ring reveals) to open a new reach lane.

June CTA Plan

Next Month’s CTAs

The June call-to-action focus and the funnel-stage CTAs we’ll be deploying.

★ Primary June CTA

Turn Browsers Into Booked Consultations

“Tap the link in bio to book a custom design consultation, or send us a DM to start your piece.”

Link-through is already strong. The priority into June is converting that high-intent traffic into booked consultations with a clear, repeated path from post to booking.

  • TOFU"Tag someone who's ring shopping." · Share-driven discovery.
  • MOFU"Save this for your ring inspiration." · Save-prompted reference.
  • BOFU"Book a consultation · link in bio." · The conversion handoff.
