Been running my carpentry shop in the Pacific Northwest for 15 years, mostly building custom cabinets and trim work for high-end remodels. Last year I started posting short videos on Instagram of Festool Domino joinery installs and time-lapses of kitchen cabinet builds, and it bumped my leads by 30% - pulled in an extra $45k in jobs. NGL, the rain out here makes outdoor shots a pain, but focusing on shop work with good lighting hooked the local homeowners. Saw a post on r/woodworking about using Reels for tool demos, so I tried that with my Kreg K5 pocket hole jig setups. Someone in Carpenters of America Facebook group mentioned collaborating with local designers, which I've done twice now for shoutouts. Watched a Matt Risinger video on content strategy that pushed me to be consistent, posting twice a week. If you're in cabinets or fine woodwork, defintely try targeted ads to your zip code - it pays off quick. Edit: just landed a $12k pantry redo from a Reel view last week.
