My 10-Minute Instagram Marketing Routine (That I Actually Stick To)
Update: 2025-12-01
Description
You don’t need a 3-hour content planning session to market your floral business. In this episode, Jeni breaks down her simple 10-minute Instagram marketing routine — the one she does from the bathtub — and shows you how to turn random scrolling into intentional, revenue-supporting activity.
Instead of getting lost in kitten videos and wainscoting reels (relatable 😂), Jeni walks you through exactly what she taps, checks, posts, and saves so Instagram starts working for your business, not just stealing your time.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What the 10-minute marketing routine actually looks like
How Jeni uses bath time to knock out meaningful IG tasks without it feeling heavy. - The first place she taps every time she opens the app
Why your heart/notifications tab is the most powerful starting point for building relationships. - How she turns a simple “follow” into a networking opportunity
The quick DM script she used with a Rochester planner and why that tiny touch matters. - Why you must check your DM requests tab
And how ignoring it means you’re probably missing tagged stories and photographer shout-outs. - Her system for saving & using trending audio without wasting time
How she builds a little “music toolbox” and turns it into easy 7–9 second reels. - The “short reels clips” folder that makes content creation fast
How batching small video clips lets her create a reel in about 3 minutes. - What evergreen content is and why every florist needs it
Examples of posts that can be reused anytime (like “How to inquire,” a la carte info, full-service weddings, etc.). - How to turn Stories into a simple traffic funnel
Using saved graphics + Notes app links to quickly get people from IG to your website or inquiry form. - Why 10 focused minutes beats 60 distracted minutes
How doing this routine 5x a week is basically almost an hour of intentional marketing without it feeling overwhelming.
