Common mistakes
Big accounts that aren't local
An account with followers in another city reaches people who can't come.
Inviting at peak hours
Crowds and waiting spoil the experience that gets shared.
Not tracking
Without a code or a simple question you won't know the result.

FAQ
Should I pay?
With local micro creators an invitation or product is often enough. Fees come up as follower counts and expectations grow.
How many followers is right?
Locality and engagement matter more than numbers. A few thousand local followers can bring more customers than a hundred thousand scattered ones.
How do I measure it?
With a unique code or offer, or by asking "how did you hear about us?" at the counter.
