How to Use Instagram to Promote Your Local Business - A fresh approach to local marketing - Turn your neighbors into customers by Neil, founder Spark48
3. Instagram & Local Businesses
• Arguably the most powerful of the “new” Social
Media sites – not Twitter and Facebook – is
Instagram
• With over forty million different Instagram
subscribers, and an annual growth rate between
2011-2012 of 1600%, it is one of the fastest
growing apps out there
• With so many users, there is an easy way to snare
local clients by tagging your local area name and
other relevent keywords to your image.
4. Why Instagram
• Large sales pages are hard for some to
concentrate on and read the whole idea,
• But a picture tells a thousand words and it
could be an easy way to bring new clients to
your local business.
• With direct access to new clients, leads, and
other local businesses you could network
with, it offers one of the best ways to promote
yourself and build trust
5. Example 1 - Bahrain
• In Bahrain , local people will take photos of
what they want to sell.

8. The Future

future, and with the figures of growth and
new users growing almost daily
