## FAQ

### What is the minimum viable promotional campaign for one artwork?

One room mockup still, one 10-second Reel, one carousel with size and price, two captions, portfolio update, and one email if you have a list. That is a campaign. Extra Stories and boosts are optional.

### Do I need a social media manager in 2026?

Not if you batch assets once and schedule three publishes. Hire help when inquiry volume exceeds reply time, not when you dread Canva. Fix the asset loop first.

### How does MOCKLIO replace a marketing team?

It does not replace strategy. It replaces the videographer, mockup researcher, and carousel designer for each drop. You still choose the offer, price, and CTA. The engine removes production drag.

### Should I post daily during a campaign?

No. Three strong publishes from one scene beat daily filler. Reels win reach; carousels win diligence. Empty Stories train people to ignore you.

### What if I have no email list yet?

Run the social and portfolio half now. Put a plain email capture on the portfolio. Start the owned channel on the next drop. Do not delay visuals waiting for a perfect ESP.
