Are you missing out?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Often when it comes to social media the main focus for a lot of businesses are Twitter and LinkedIn. However, not incorporating Instagram into your marketing strategy\u00a0for 2019 would be a big mistake.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

As Instagram is an incredible storytelling tool that if handled\u00a0correctly will help to create an emotional connection\u00a0between consumers and your brand, increasing awareness, improving your status, building trust and then eventually all of this will translate into an increase in sales.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0statista.com Instagram now has 1 billion active monthly users along\u00a0with the highest engagement rate of any other social\u00a0platform\u00a0with 4.2% compared to Twitter 0.03%*. This engagement is what makes Instagram so valuable; you can gain real feedback and insights into your product or services in real time. Ensure you start asking your followers for their opinion\u00a0on your services, product, or event? Ask them what works and how you can improve.<\/p>\n

As being successful on Instagram isn’t just about posting pretty images you need to develop a marketing strategy and ensure that you have dedicated colleagues creating\u00a0content, scheduling posts and providing successful community management on your platform day-in-day-out.<\/p>\n

It’s also vital to set out\u00a0clear goals, figure out how your\u00a0Instagram marketing strategy will integrate with your overall social media strategy. Determine who your\u00a0Insta audience is, and how you will engage them. Then once you start to release new content make sure you have your analytics\u00a0in place to track your progress and analyse your success.<\/p>\n

Now if I\u2019ve left you feeling a little overwhelmed and you’re looking to develop your Instagram offering\u00a0why not sign up to one of our Instagram courses where you’ll learn the skills needed to deliver a comprehensive strategic marketing plan that really works.<\/p>\n
