Many entrepreneurs already have Instagram accounts. Most of them have created more than one account either for personal or business. Both have different functions. Some people create Instagram accounts because they want to test the market and start a new business. For those of you who have created multiple accounts and are not using them either for fun or no longer running the business, it is better that the account is deleted. This will make it easier for your management to manage Instagram accounts, while not confusing prospects who follow inactive accounts. Manage the accounts you feel are important and delete the accounts you no longer use.
Instagram also gives you the option to temporarily disable the account. This option is for entrepreneurs who close their business or shop for a certain period of time due to reasons such as pandemics, renovations, financial constraints and others.
