The Instagram marketing train is leaving the station. Are you onboard?
Everyone is talking about Instagram. But, isn’t it just for teenagers? Can Instagram marketing be used for your products and services? Does this simple, picture and video-driven platform really work?
Yes! You can and should be using Instagram marketing to promote your business.
In fact, you can’t afford to do without it.
It’s time to stop talking and start doing. Get the jump on your competition and get your business on Instagram before your competition does!
Still not convinced?
Here are the top 3 reasons you should add Instagram to your B2C or B2B digital marketing strategy.
Reason #1 It’s The Fastest Growing Social Media Platform
As of April 2017, Instagram has more than 700 million monthly users—and counting!
Six out of every 10 adults are on Instagram, and 77.6 million Instagram users are from the US.
So, while Facebook and Twitter may be popular, you simply can’t afford to ignore Instagram for much longer.
In fact, a recent study shows that while Instagram is seeing meteoric growth, Facebook is holding steady, and Twitter is actually losing users!
Reason #2 The Early Bird Catches The Worm
Even with its rapid acceleration, very few businesses are using Instagram. Remember, only 77.6 million people in the US use Instagram. That means lots of room for growth.
This is good for you because early adopters get rewarded.
Between 2016 and 2017 the number of users placing Instagram on a monthly basis grew from 200,000 to over 1 million. So, as you can see, things are really picking up!
Start using Instagram today, before your competition catches wind.
Can you imagine being one of the first businesses to really capitalize on Twitter in the early 2000s or Facebook in its initial growth years?
Now you can do that with Instagram.
Reason #3 Engaging Visuals
People love pictures and stories. Instagram delivers both.
And not to worry because you don’t have to be a whiz with photoshop. Instagram’s built-in filters and photo editing tools are easy and intuitive. After just a few posts you’ll have the hang of it.
Since you may not yet be familiar with Instagram, you can also post 3 to 60-second videos on Instagram.
In fact, when videos were introduced to the social platform—over 5 million videos were uploaded in the first 24 hours. Statistically, these videos generate 2 times the engagement of photos posted to your current social platforms.
While many other platforms are still mostly words, Instagram delivers what people crave: a clean, simple interface, and beautiful images.
