Scaling candle brand, how to scale complex product education?
Scaling a complex candle product requires constant education for new audiences. Your current fans know how it works, but newcomers do not. You need to scale this education without increasing your team's workload. An automated content network lets you distribute your instructional videos to thousands of fresh potential customers daily, effectively teaching the market while you focus on growth.

Candles brand, scaling: the product needs explaining before people buy.
The education bottleneck at scale
As you grow, your new customers are less informed than your first fans. They don't know the nuances of your product, and if they don't understand it, they won't buy it. Your current team is too busy with operations to spend time teaching every single prospect. You need a system that does this automatically. You have the educational content, but it is trapped on your site or in old posts. You need a way to put it in front of the right people as they enter your brand funnel.
Scaling through automated education
A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post the brand's existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This is the perfect tool for scaling complex products. It ensures that every new visitor sees your educational content, making them feel like an expert on your candles by the time they reach your site.
What to send a provider to start
Send the provider your most comprehensive library of educational assets. This includes deep-dive videos on your ingredients, care instructions, and scent-matching guides. You want to provide a mix of content, some that is highly instructional and some that is more lifestyle-focused but still conveys the key product information. Share your messaging goals and any metrics you have on which points are most confusing for new customers. The more you empower the provider with your knowledge, the more effective they will be at educating your new audience.
Managing the business of education
Running many accounts with automation is against Instagram terms of service. You will see pages get banned, but a professional provider will replace them. Do not let this distract you. This is an operational expense for a powerful, high-volume educational channel. You are paying for the reach you need to scale your sales, and this is the best way to get it. Keep your focus on the product and the customer experience, and let the provider handle the mechanics of the distribution system.
