Stories (production)
We produce stories: series of short vertical stories (design, text, interactivity — polls/questions/stickers) for the platform. Honestly and bluntly upfront: stories are a tool for engaging and warming up an already subscribed audience, NOT a channel for big reach of cold people; story views ≠ sales. And about availability: stories are on Instagram (Meta is banned in the RF), as well as VK/Telegram — we will honestly choose an available platform. Stories are ephemeral (disappear in 24h), regularity is needed. Without inflation. Without promises of reach and sales.
Stories (production) — overview
Stories is the production of story series for social networks: a series script, frame design (static/video), text, interactive elements (polls, questions, quizzes, stickers, links), warming logic (from attention to action), adaptation for the platform. The work: checking platform applicability, a series idea, frame production, interactivity, finished stories. Honestly about 'stories are for your audience, not for big reach', this is key: stories are seen mostly by people already subscribed to you — it is a tool for retention, engagement and warming, not for attracting a large number of new cold users. Not to be confused with Reels (those are for reach). Honestly about 'views ≠ sales': stories give touchpoints, engagement, warming, but a view does not equal a sale — sales depend on the product, offer, funnel. 'We make stories — sales will come' = a lie. Honestly about availability: stories are on Instagram (Meta is banned in the RF), VK, Telegram; we will honestly choose a platform available to you and assess applicability by geo. Honestly about 'ephemerality and regularity': stories disappear in 24 hours (unless in highlights), so regularity is needed — one-off stories give no effect. Honestly about 'the algorithm/activity decides': story display depends on audience engagement and the algorithm; organic display is limited. Honestly about 'without inflation': we do not inflate views/reactions. Honestly about 'without deception in interactivity': polls/quizzes are honest, without manipulation and fake results. Honestly about the effect: it produces story series (design, text, interactivity, warming logic) for an available platform, boosting engagement/warming of your audience, but this is not a big-reach channel and not a guarantee of sales; a view ≠ a sale; regularity is needed; Instagram=Meta in the RF; without inflation. Honestly about access: brand materials, platform applicability are needed. An important boundary: this is story production; platform management — 473-478; short videos/Reels (for reach) — 491; content plan — 488. The base price starts from 12,000 ₽ for story series (depends on volume).

FAQ
Will stories give big reach of a new audience?
No, honestly: stories are seen mostly by people already subscribed to you — it is a tool for retention, engagement and warming, not for attracting a large number of cold users. For reach of a new audience Reels/Shorts (491) or advertising are needed. We honestly use stories for their purpose and do not promise 'big reach' with them.
Will story views turn into sales?
Not directly, honestly: stories give touchpoints, engagement and warming, but a view ≠ a sale — sales depend on the product, offer and funnel. Plus stories are ephemeral (disappear in 24h), regularity is needed. We honestly boost warming and will say if the offer/funnel needs improvement for sales.
Can story views be inflated?
No, honestly: inflation gives dead metrics and deceives, and story display still depends on the real engagement of your audience and the algorithm. We work honestly — quality stories and honest interactivity give real engagement, not figures on paper.
