Gaining traction in a saturated niche — does Instagram growt

[Ann5]

I’m running a small home décor shop and putting effort into posting quality content on Instagram — reels, product demos, stories — but my follower growth has stalled for months. Is it still worth trying to grow followers, or should I just focus on engagement with the audience I already have?

Honestly, both go hand in hand more than people think. If your profile looks stagnant in numbers, new visitors may assume the brand is inactive, even if your content’s great. A lot of small business owners I know have strategically boosted their numbers by getting Premium Instagram followers through trusted platforms like SMM World. Having a solid follower base makes a profile appear more credible, which can subtly encourage more real interaction and organic growth. It’s not just about vanity — it’s positioning.

Instagram’s new algorithm update seems to favor reels even more than before. Anyone else seeing a huge drop in photo reach lately?
