Memory That Lasts
Built 2026-08-07 · Covers Aug 8 to Aug 21 · Pinterest is owned by a separate session and is untouched here
1. Your Shopify footer links to a dead Instagram account. Every page of the live
store links to instagram.com/memorythatlasts1, which now returns
"Profile isn't available". Your real Instagram is @memorythatlasts, with no "1".
Customers clicking the Instagram icon right now hit a dead end.
I did not fix this, because you told me your husband is working in the theme live and I must not touch it. It is a two-character edit in the footer social settings. Yours or his to make.
2. Nothing can be posted without you. Neither platform has a usable posting API for this setup, and I will not log in as you. Every post below has to be uploaded from your phone. Account fields below are written and ready to paste. Nothing has been published.
3. Two assets in the brief do not exist. Your dispatch said Cloudinary holds
"168 clips normalised to 1080x1080". Live audit of cloud dl7mguxyk returns
47 videos total, of which exactly 3 are true 1080x1080.
The 12 approved zodiac clips are real and all present, but they are
720x1280, not the 1080x1920 both platforms prefer. They will still post and play.
They will look slightly soft next to a native phone video. Flagging rather than quietly using them.
4. Your live Instagram bio has two copy problems. It currently reads "Engraved in USA" and "Fast U.S. shipping". Locked rules require Engraved in the U.S. and the exact string Ships within 2 to 5 days. Corrected bio is in the setup block below.
Both accounts exist. Neither has ever published. Previous notes were wrong in both directions, so here is what the platforms actually returned today.

@memorythatlasts1 on Instagram returns "Profile isn't available".
It is the handle your live store still links to.
The display name is a ranking surface on both platforms, same as it is on Pinterest. Your Pinterest display name was changed to Memory That Lasts | Personalized Engraved Jewelry for exactly this reason. Instagram already matches that pattern. TikTok does not, and that is the single highest-value setup fix on this page.
Display name, replace "Memory That Lasts"
If the field rejects it for length, use
Memory That Lasts | Jewelry. Keep the brand first, keyword after the pipe.
Bio, replace all of it. TikTok caps this at 80 characters, this is 79
Website field
A TikTok Business account can add a website link at any follower count. A personal account may be gated at 1,000 followers. This is the main reason to switch.
Account type
Profile → menu → Settings and privacy → Account → Switch to Business Account → category Shopping and Retail. This unlocks the website field, Business Suite analytics, and follower activity times. Without it there is no measurement loop.
Keep as is
Profile photo. The engraved heart pendant reads well at 40px.
Display name
Already live and already correct. Do not change it.
Bio, replace all of it. 148 characters of the 150 allowed
This fixes two locked-copy breaches in the bio that is live right now: "Engraved in USA" and "Fast U.S. shipping".
Website field
Account type
Settings → Account type and tools → Switch to professional account → Business, not Creator. Business is the right pick because you sell your own products and want Shopping. Creator cannot run a full shop. Category Jewellery & Watches Store.
Profile photo
Not verifiable while logged out. If it is empty, use the same engraved heart pendant image as TikTok so the two profiles read as one brand. Send it to me before you upload it.
Anonymity check, both platforms. No personal name, no personal
email, no phone, no address in any field above. Contact stays at
hello@memorythatlasts.com only if a contact field is mandatory. No fulfilment partner is
named anywhere. Nothing in the copy claims a delivery date.
The clip is shared. The hook, the caption and the hour are not. These platforms reward different things and a post that is optimal on one is mediocre on the other.
| TikTok | Instagram Reels | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is for us | Cold discovery. Nobody knows us. Search and For You are the whole game | Proof and depth. Where someone who already saw us decides we are real |
| Caption written for | Search intent. The literal phrase a buyer types. Primary keyword in the first sentence | Saves and sends. Keyword-rich for social SEO, then an explicit reason to save |
| Hook style | Blunt, 1 to 2 seconds, on-screen text. Question hooks earn roughly 26% more comments | Softer, sentimental, can breathe to 3 seconds. Reels ranks on whether people finish it |
| Hashtags | 3 to 5. Mix 1 to 2 trending, 1 to 2 niche, 1 branded | 3 to 5, and Instagram now caps at 5. They bucket the audience, they do not add reach |
| When | Weeknights 7 to 9pm ET, plus Saturday morning. Saturday is the strongest TikTok day | Tue to Thu, 9am to 12pm ET. Wednesday is the strongest single day |
| Audio | Trending sound picked in the app at post time. Never baked in | Instagram's own trending audio. Do not reuse the TikTok sound |
| Order | Posts first | Next day, so the two do not compete for the same first-hour audience |
One rule that matters more than any of the above. Never export a finished video out of TikTok and upload that file to Instagram. It carries a watermark and Reels demotes visibly recycled content. Always upload each clip fresh from the Cloudinary link named in the post below, on both platforms. That is why every post here names a source URL instead of saying "repost".
Why the signs are weighted this way. Leo season ends Aug 22, so Leo is a closing window and gets an honest urgency hook. Virgo season opens Aug 23, and gift buyers shop two to four weeks ahead, which means Virgo gift intent is peaking right now while Virgo self-purchase peaks after the 23rd. Libra spikes in September, so it gets seeded in week two and inherits the slots in September. Q4 gift intent starts building in late August, which is why the pet and birth flower pieces enter now rather than in October. Nothing is posted for a sign whose season is months away.
18 posts, 10 TikTok and 8 Reels, from 7 assets you already own. No new generation, no spend.

Why this one
Highest scroll-stopping potential of anything we own. It is a physical reveal, it is real footage, and the mechanism is the hook. Post it midweek when the evening audience is largest.

Nine of the twelve approved sign clips are deliberately held back. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces are all months out of season. Posting them now would spend the asset at the worst moment for it.
What we rank on. Profile visits first, Shopify sessions second, orders above everything. Views, likes and completion rate are leading indicators and never a decision on their own. The single comparison metric is profile visits per 1,000 views, because raw views reward whichever video happened to get distributed, exactly as raw clicks did on Pinterest.
Be honest about this before building anything on it.
utm_source, not Shopify's referrer bucket.| # | Trigger | Action |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | A hook family is top 2 of 4 on profile visits per 1,000 views two weeks running, with at least 500 views each week | Give it 3 of the 5 weekly slots on that platform |
| T2 | A hook family is bottom of the four on that metric two weeks running, with at least 500 views each week | Cut to 1 slot per week. Third losing week, retire the family |
| T3 | A single post passes 1,000 views with 0 profile visits | Kill that hook pattern. Do not reuse the wording for 30 days |
| T4 | A single post gets 3 or more profile visits in a week | Clone its hook and asset style into 3 new posts the following week |
| T5 | A clip is bottom of the set on completion rate two weeks running | The clip is the problem, not the hook. Retire the clip rather than re-hooking it |
| T6 | Weekly Shopify sessions from social stay under 5 for three consecutive weeks while views grow | The bio link or the profile is the failure, not the video. Fix the destination before making more content |
| T7 | Shopify sessions from one platform reach 25 in a week with 0 cart additions | The landing page is the failure, not social. Hand to a PDP session |
| T8 | Any week with at least 1 Shopify order attributed to tiktok or instagram | Freeze that post format and destination. Write it into MTL-CURRENT-STATE as a proven pattern |
Why these numbers. 500 views is the floor at which one profile visit stops moving the rate more than the gap we are trying to detect, and TikTok hands out views far more cheaply than Pinterest hands out impressions, so it is set higher than Pinterest's 300. Two weeks because one week of either platform is noise. T6's threshold of 5 sessions is deliberately low, because we are starting from literally zero and the first question to answer is whether the funnel connects at all, not whether it scales.

Weekly, Mondays, reading the seven days prior. Pinterest already holds Monday 07:30, so this runs at
08:15 so the two do not collide and the social readout can quote the Pinterest numbers
in the same breath. Each run: preflight gate, pull all five sources, apply T1 to T8, rewrite
performance.json, redeploy this board, verify the deploy by fetching the live JSON back,
append to a weekly log, and report to you with one recommendation.
Week 1 will produce no readable data unless the account switches and the bio links are live before the first post goes up. That is not a nice-to-have, it is the precondition for every rule above.
All of this is August 2026, not general advice. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
