• Use "Hashtags“: "Hashtags" are the major part of Instagram through which users
can easily find your brand through their mobile Instagram search engines. Unlike
other social networking sites, you are not limited by character count, but that
doesn't mean that you add too many tags in your post to get connected. This will
make you look too desperate.

campaign like “Instagram photo contest”.
• This way your post could be seen by thousands of users in minutes. Your
customers will always use your tags to connect with you, hence ensure to
frequently check your Instagram hashtags and respond to comments and
concerns quickly.
9. Target your "existing customers"
• Appreciate your customers by sharing their cool photos with you “Facebook
Fans”, or “Twitter Followers,” especially if they include your product, or follow your
brand.
• Increase engagement targeting your "existing customers" by commenting on
product related photos they post or even if they speak something negative about
you brand.
• Post images with your customers in mind, in turn they may just share it with their
“Followers.” This way you can spread you brand visibility quickly.
10. Show off products with "quality content" and
"personable videos"
• Be creative with your photos, posting them along
with short videos (not more than 15 seconds) to
show your company’s core values and brand.
• Also, post fun photos and "personable videos" of
your employees(behind the scene look of you
company o making of a product) that will make you
company look cool.

marketing is to partner with brands , and get them
post your product photos and video s on their
Instagram feed.

ensure you make contest themes that have photos
and videos focused to your business objectives.

as to get your customers entering, and sharing with
their friends, too.

contestants, which in turn will infect the word about
your contest across the networking platform that
they use.

• Every brand and products may not have the same
best time to post updates on Instagram.

“likes” and "comments" on, when your "hashtags"
are being used and even tack your “followers.”

most active times, in turn improves the bottom line
of your business.

the photo. They also have a Learn More button on the bottom right corner, under the
photo.
Video Ads: Like the photo ads, these look like regular video posts, but with a Sponsored
label on top.
Carousel Ads: These ads look identical to photo ads, but feature multiple photos that
users can swipe through.

this keyword.” It’s just about the only way to find stuff on Instagram (besides searching for
a user).

celebrities, politicians, etc.

you plug in to find them?

image. If they like what they see, hopefully they’ll follow you.
