An official account:

Confine your audience:
Understand the niche of your business. Instead of trying to attract all 3 million people who use social media fixate on the audience that might be interested in what you’re business. For example, if you’re selling jackets like Top Gun Maverick Jacket then you need to know people who have searched about that movie recently and then promote your jackets to them. Same goes for Movie Jackets and other Leather Jackets.
Interact with your followers:

Try to reply the people who comment on any of your posts on time. Check your DMs regularly in order to be able to reply to the queries of your followers. Do not under any circumstances be rude to your followers, for they are your potential customers.
Promote authentic content:
How do you make your customers believe that what you’re selling is authentic. It’s absolutely simple, go live and pick each product up, then give details about those products as well as mention the product prices too. Ask them to ask as many questions as possible to remove any doubts from their minds.
Check up on Rivals:

Remember one thing, keep doing what you initially were doing, add necessary improvements, donot ever doubt yourself. These markers will help you in staying superior to your competitors.
