In fact, 32% of marketers say visual images are the form of content most important to their strategy.
The platform’s popularity with consumers makes it a massive opportunity for brands that are willing to dive in and start interacting. As with all forms of social media marketing, it always pays to build a sense of community.
A successful Instagram marketing strategy takes advantage of all the tools the platform
has to offer. A typical strategy includes:
A complete profile helps you to earn the trust of your followers. That includes a branded profile image, a descriptive bio, engaging story highlights and link to your website.
The growth of your account often depends on its relationships with others. Following, liking and commenting on posts from other accounts is essential. In addition, sharing user-generated content can boost engagement with potential customers.
Instagram hashtags and keywords are how users find new accounts to follow.
It’s important to post with regularity so that your brand stays relevant.
Instagram stories appear at the top of a user’s feed. They’re available for 24 hours before they disappear, making them perfect for sharing timely content and limited-time promotions.
In addition to building your Instagram following organically, paid display ads can extend your reach to customers you haven’t interacted with yet.
Your social media strategist can help to maximize your results by ensuring that each piece
of your strategy is aligned and consistent with your other marketing efforts.
Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms, but it’s not just the size of the platform’s user base that makes it appealing to marketers. Compared with Facebook and Twitter, more Instagram users follow and interact with brands regularly.
In fact, 8 out of 10 Instagram accounts follow a business. They make over 200 million visits to business profiles every day.
Plus, these users tend to be in a prime demographic. Nearly two-thirds of adults aged 18-29 use Instagram. And the split between male and female users is nearly 50/50.

In place of a rolling Instagram campaign, a social media strategist can help you craft one-off posts to promote blog posts, webinars, events and other offerings.

As part of the service you receive, your strategist can help you schedule Instagram posts based on our data-driven research and best practices.
With over 1 billion people using the platform, it can be difficult to find out what people are saying about your brand. Searching Instagram hashtags and reading through user conversations is resource-intensive, especially for small marketing teams.
Your social media strategist is adept at identifying and assessing what’s being said about your company and its products. Plus, he or she can give you actionable advice on how to respond and nurture your customers according to your goals.
Video posts on Instagram receive 38% more engagement than image posts and tend to get over twice as many comments, on average.
User engagement on Instagram is critical to success. Your brand can gain an advantage by working with a strategist to produce short-form video content that converts. Remember, Instagram is a scrolling app – your brand often has less than a second to make an impression before your post is scrolled away. Video encourages users to slow down and take in your messaging without asking too much in return.
Advertising on Instagram follows a pay-per-click model that uses a bidding algorithm to place your ads in user’s feeds and stories. Using the Facebook Ad Manager, you can slice your audience for precision campaigns.
An expert strategist will help you build your ads, identify audiences and develop a competitive bidding strategy. This service can be combined with other PPC platforms.
If you want to put your brand message in front of a massive group of potential customers, Instagram is the place to be. An optimized profile, stunning posts and the right amount of promotion can help your business grow and succeed.
