Dare Night — Instagram channel setup

The dedicated brand account (not the founder's personal handle). Home base = Instagram, Reels-led; every vertical video cross-posts to TikTok for free reach. Player-first content, hostel/venue proof woven in. Measurable: link → dare-night.app, and the Studio Dashboard's "From IG" referrals tile tracks what it drives.

The one rule that matters: Reels get strangers, Stories only reach people who already follow you. On a new account, grow with Reels; use Stories/link-sticker for the audience Reels bring in. Don't lead with Story cards on a cold account.

Reel #7 is the hostel hook — it's the one a manager stops on. Pin it, and it's what you send when you DM a hostel account.

Making them cheap


Measurement

The honest caveat

A brand account compounds slowly (weeks–months). The faster channels are still the physical card stands and direct DMs to hostel IG accounts. Keep this account low-effort / repurpose-driven so it never crowds out placing the other four stands. It's the durable home, not the sprint.
