Reseller, did you know that in 2023, according to a report, posts in reel format became the favorite of Instagram users? This type of content captured the attention of thousands of people and also stood out as the one that generated and continues to generate the most comments on the social network, according to research. This data means an incredible opportunity for your business!
Aware of the power of Reels and how much they can boost your sales, we are here to guide you step by step in creating captivating and effective content. Our goal is to empower you with the best practices so that, together, we can transform the way you present semi-jewelry in the digital world.
Planning is everything
Before you start recording, the secret is in the planning, start by defining the theme of your Reels. Will it be a presentation of a new collection? Tips on how to combine pieces? Or maybe a cleaning tutorial and be careful with semi-jewelry? Regardless of the topic, have a script in mind, even if it is flexible. This step will ensure your message is clear and direct.
To define which theme will be recorded, a tip is to delve into current trends by exploring popular hashtags, following fashion and jewelry influencers, and observing the themes that are dominating on social media.
Another effective way to ensure your content resonates with your audience is to tune in to trending music. Take time to explore Instagram and other social networks, identifying which songs are driving popular videos. Here's a suggestion: open your Instagram reel camera, click on the song note and see which songs are featured on the social network.
Music streaming platforms like Spotify also tend to have most-played lists, which can be a goldmine of inspiration.
Quality and lighting tools
Having the right tools at your disposal is also crucial for turning your ideas into attractive, professional content. If you want your Reels to stand out even more, it is essential to invest in quality equipment.

Capture the essence from the right angle
Try different heights and positions. Start with a wide perspective, from above, to show the jewelry in context. Then, get closer to capture the details. Try recording at different heights, moving the camera from top to bottom and vice versa. This will help you understand how light interacts with the jewelry at different angles.
Don't be afraid to record multiple versions. Experiment with subtle camera movements: a slight sideways swipe, a gentle zoom, or a gentle pan can reveal surprising angles. Watch the takes carefully, preferably on a large screen, to assess which angle best shows the beauty of the piece.
Here's another golden tip: use and abuse the tools available on Instagram, especially its new feature, “Align”. Now reels has an alignment tool so you know the right angle from where your last take stopped.
After recording a scene from your reels, by activating the alignment button, you start preparing for the next part of the recording with an extraordinary advantage: the image of the last recorded take will appear slightly superimposed on the current recording screen. This means you can position yourself or align objects in the scene precisely, ensuring a smooth transition between takes. This functionality ensures that your work maintains superior quality and a professional appearance, eliminating visual discontinuities and improving the narrative fluidity of your reels.
Make edits
Use filters sparingly to maintain authentic colors. Add music that reflects your brand's personality and insert subtitles where necessary, ensuring your message is understood even without sound. Editing tools are your allies to polish your Reels until they shine.
Here are some suggestions for amazing apps for you to edit your reels: CapCut, Canva, VSCO and Adobe Lightroom.
Don't forget to engage
Finally, interact with your audience. Respond to comments and messages genuinely. Use your Reels to create a real connection with your followers, showing not just the pieces, but the passion and story behind your jewelry brand.
We hope this content is valuable to you, reseller! With these five steps, your pieces will shine even more on Instagram!
