Should I celebrate small follower milestones on Instagram?

Absolutely. Celebrate every 100 followers if you’re building an account. Consider running a giveaway at certain thresholds—every 300 or 400 followers, for example—to convert those social media followers into an email list you own. These milestones are worth acknowledging and they give you natural opportunities to build your subscriber base while engaging your growing audience.
