# Instagram Growth Strategy: Knead (artisan sourdough bakery)
**Audience:** home bakers & local foodies. **Voice:** rustic, generous, hands-in-the-dough. **Goal:** local sales + online course leads.
## 1. Content pillars
| Pillar | % | Formats |
|--------|---|---------|
| Sourdough how-to | 30% | Reels, Carousels |
| Behind-the-bakery | 20% | Stories, Reels |
| The bakes (product) | 20% | Static, Reels |
| Community/UGC | 15% | Stories, Carousels |
| Founder/story | 15% | Reels, Static |
## 2. Frequency & timing
4 feed posts + 5–7 Stories/week. Best times: Tue/Thu 6–8am (bakers plan mornings) and Sun 10am.
## 3. Bio optimization (3 variations)
- "Sourdough made simple · Portland bakery + online classes · Fresh loaves Fri–Sun 👇"
- "We teach you to bake the loaf you've been scared of · Classes + pickup · Tap to learn"
- "Real sourdough, real beginners welcome · Order pickup + free starter guide 👇"
## 4. Hashtag strategy (30)
- **Small (5k–50k):** #sourdoughportland #pdxbakery #homemadesourdough #sourdoughclub #artisanloaf …
- **Medium (50k–500k):** #sourdoughbaking #breadmaking #fermentation #realbread #bakersofinstagram …
- **Large (500k+):** #sourdough #homebaking #bread #baking #foodie …
## 5. Reel ideas (10, with hooks)
1. "Stop killing your starter" — 3 fixes.
2. "POV: the oven spring you've waited for."
3. "Sourdough for people who've never baked."
4. "Why your crumb is gummy (and the fix)."
5. "A loaf, start to slice, in 30 seconds."
… (5 more: scoring patterns, day-in-the-bakery, beginner mistakes, the float test, customer's first loaf).
## 6. Carousel outlines (5)
Starter feeding schedule · troubleshooting flat loaves · 5 tools you actually need · timeline for a weekend bake · scoring designs.
## 7. Stories engagement
Daily: polls ("crusty or soft?"), quizzes (hydration %), countdowns to Friday drops, "ask a baker" sticker.
## 8. Collaboration
Cross-promote with a local coffee roaster and a kitchenware shop; guest Reels with food creators.
## 9. Community building
Reply to every comment in hour one, feature UGC weekly, start a #KneadFirstLoaf tag.
