From 500 to 12K Followers in 60 Days — How We Turned Radikaldezzertz's Instagram Into a Foot-Traffic Engine

The Client

Radikaldezzertz is a dessert brand with a product people love once they try it — the challenge was getting new customers through the door. With only 500 Instagram followers, their social presence wasn't doing the product justice or driving meaningful foot traffic.

The Challenge

  • A stagnant account with minimal reach and almost no discovery outside existing customers
  • No consistent content strategy to showcase the desserts in a scroll-stopping way
  • No influencer program, meaning zero third-party social proof in a category that lives and dies on it

What We Did

Full social media management. We took over the account end-to-end — content planning, posting, and community management — with a consistent cadence built around high-craving, visual-first dessert content designed for shares and saves.

A monthly influencer engine. We sourced and brought in quality food and lifestyle influencers every month, hand-picked for local reach and genuine engagement rather than vanity follower counts. Each visit generated authentic content and exposed the brand to new, nearby audiences primed to walk in.

Online-to-offline conversion focus. Every piece of content and every influencer collaboration was aimed at one outcome: getting people through the door. Content highlighted the in-store experience, and influencer posts drove their audiences directly to the location.

The Results

  • 500 → 12,000 followers in 60 days — a 24x increase in audience size
  • A substantial lift in walk-ins during the engagement, driven directly by organic content and influencer traffic
  • A repeatable influencer pipeline, with quality creators posting about the brand every single month
  • An account that now works as a permanent acquisition channel, not just a photo gallery

Why It Worked

Dessert is an impulse purchase — the winning move is staying visible in the feeds of people close enough to act on a craving. By pairing consistent, crave-worthy organic content with a steady drumbeat of local influencer visits, we built exactly that visibility, and the foot traffic followed.
