- Most of your posts are in the moment: today's special, a quick clip from behind the counter.
- Money is tight right now and you have more time than budget.
When Schedult makes more sense
- Posting keeps slipping down the list behind the actual work.
- You want every post to look like your brand without building templates.
- You'd rather spend 15 minutes looking over a month than 10 or more hours making it.
