TLDR: sports club instagram are not very well run, with some teams having 200+ followers to up to 20k followers. How do I land my first client?
Hi everyone, I would appreciate it if you could advise me on my idea.
I'm passionate about social media management, particularly on Instagram (e.g posting, creating visuals and engaging followers). I found a problem: many professional sports insta pages in my area are not well run.
The team's Instagram has a following of around 5-10k, and a few teams have only a few hundred followers. There are several issues I found:
1)lack of engagement with fans
2)lack of nice posters/visuals (post basic pictures only nothing that stands out)
3)don't collab or engage their fan pages which have way more followers than the official page
the only pro is that they frequently posting at the start of every match.
tbh with a team worth millions of dollars idk why they don't have a good social media account that has more than a few hundred followers
My idea is to engage these teams starting with those with a few hundred followers because I believe it would be much easier to convince them due to their follower count. However, they might have a social media manager already. I hope to provide them with a package that handles all their Instagram needs with scheduled posting, providing them with posters(with an additional cost which will be like an 'add-on').
Previously, I managed two non-profit organisations' Insta accounts which grew a lot and even founded my own non-profit initiative account that grew to over 500 followers in a week. I also intern at a top bank as an associate managing their online presence. P.S I did those for free so I feel it's very different to landing new clients, Recently, I started a sports insta account which received over 15k engagements in 2 weeks
My problem is I have no clue how to approach these sports teams? should I insta DM? cold-email? How do I land my first client? Should I continue to grow my sports insta account first?
Thank you so much! appreciate you taking the time to read
