Instagram is no longer just a social media app; it’s a good business platform with tremendous marketing potential.

Instagram has more than 2 billion monthly users, and the marketing potential stems from 90% of these users following at least one business. So just having an online presence will no longer cut it for businesses. You need to kill the game and constantly be on top of trends.?

One of the main reasons Instagram is a successful marketing tool is its visual format and the variety of content available at the user’s fingertips. Be it memes, informative content, fashion, lifestyle, or beauty, there’s something for everyone, and you’ll find plenty of pages that cater to your liking and interests. Instagram marketing is as successful as it is because the generation that actively uses the app also does the majority of its shopping online.??When it comes to Instagram marketing, there’s a myriad of strategies that’s businesses can opt from, such as organic content, paid ads or a hybrid approach, depending on your needs and goals. For you to successfully take advantage of Instagram marketing, you need to understand the type of marketing content available such as:

Organic Content?

Anything produced organically, be it photos, reels, storeys or videos, comes under this category. The key differentiating factor between videos and reels is the duration, the former having a maximum of 60 mins, vs the latter being 60s. Reels have been all the rage lately thanks to the popularity of short-form content has embarked on. You're catering to the TikTok generation, or Gen Z, with their impulse shopping and smaller attention spans.?Storeys?are a great way to keep engagement high and constantly interact with your user base. Many businesses also conduct regular live sessions to connect with their audience, take constructive criticism and feedback, and resonate with their customers.?

Paid Content

The Instagram app also allows businesses to sponsor posts, storeys, reels etc., to increase the reach of their content and guarantee engagement. You can track the numbers, and all this data gives you insight into what’s working and what isn’t. You control what you advertise and how long you wish to do it. Pricing on these ads depends on several factors, such as targeting, competition and scheduling.

Influencer Marketing?

Influencers, or as Meta calls them, creators, create content on social media for a living and have created a solid audience for themselves. As a result, influencers gave rise to a new social media strategy - influencer marketing. Since thousands, or sometimes millions, of people religiously engage with their content regularly, a certain level of credibility comes with the platform they’ve created for themselves. Influencers are in every category and subcategory, whether lifestyle, fashion, beauty, travel, or comedy. Brands take advantage of the platform and reach these influencers by collaborating with them or giving them compensation in exchange for being featured on their profiles, posts, stories, reels etc. In some cases, influencers have creative liberty; in others, brands provide the pitch, content schedule, script, format, etc. Naturally, the more engagement and audience an influencer have, the higher compensation they ask for.?

Instagram Shop

This recent feature allows users to purchase from the app directly. In addition, the Shop Tab is a different section in the app that will enable businesses to showcase their product catalogue more systematically and specifically target users looking to do their shopping on the app. Another unique feature in this segment is that your customers can tag their shopped products in their posts, giving you even more content to play with.?

The trick to Instagram marketing is that the more you do it, the better you become at it. The ever-changing algorithm and trends can be scary. Still, Instagram provides you with a unique and excellent platform for reaching out to your target audience, maintaining brand authenticity, curating and showcasing content that truly resonates with your audience and expanding your customer base. Data insights are crucial in deciding what needs to stay and what needs to go. Instagram marketing can be very personal and vary from business to business; there is no fixed formula to crack it. However, there’s beauty in subjectivity. If you keep doing it consistently, your brand will reap the benefits of Instagram marketing in the long run.?
