Followers are attention. Sales need a place to happen. "DM to order" caps you at the number of DMs you can answer; a store or booking page does not.
Quick answer: Put a real link in bio (your store or booking page, not a linktree of nothing), WhatsApp click-to-chat as the second button, post prices openly, use stories for offers with a "tap to order", reply to DMs with a link to the exact product, and move ordering off DMs onto a page that takes bank transfer, Lynk and COD.
1. The link in bio
2. Prices in the post
"DM for price" loses the impulse buyer.
3. Stories that sell
4. DM scripts
Three saved replies: price + link, delivery + link, thank-you + review ask.
5. A catalogue that is actually a store
Instagram Shopping is limited in Jamaica; a store on your own domain with local payments is the fix.
6. Reviews and reposts
7. Ads to the people who already follow

Frequently asked
Why are my followers not buying?
There is no easy place to buy — fix the link, the prices and the payment options.
Is Instagram Shopping available in Jamaica?
Checkout is limited; a store on your own site works everywhere.
Should I run ads?
After the store exists — otherwise you pay for DMs you cannot answer.
