Shift Budget Toward Posts Over Reels
Posts are outperforming Reels by more than 2x — Posts ER is 2.01% versus Reels ER of 0.95%.
Details
While Reels offer higher reach for accounts under 50K followers, the current Reels are dragging the overall account ER down to 1.24%, well below the 3.5-8% nano-tier benchmark. Blue Mountains Running Co. should prioritize a content mix that leans heavier on Posts (carousels or static) until the Reel formats that resonate are identified, then test one Reel style per week and track whether it closes the gap toward the 2.01% Posts baseline.
