Who wouldn’t love to take their business to the next level? But the question is how? It was not possible to reach your products and brand to millions of people in one go. Now, it is possible. If you want a number of customers to follow your brand and end up buying your products then, Instagram will work like magic for you.
Instagram has around 1 billion monthly active users and the number is more than Twitter. Do you know almost 25 million businesses are on Instagram for the promotion of their products? And they are always looking for ideas on how they can communicate with the Instagram community.
Instagram is a platform for discovering new scopes of networking and growing your business. Let’s jump in to know how to get ahead with your business on Instagram.
Create an Instagram Business profile
Remember, if you are going to promote your products on Instagram, then you need to set a business account. A business account must be different than your personal Instagram account.
The personal Instagram account is about you. But a business account is all about the marketing of your products. The content that is not related to your brands will not help you to boost your sales.
An Instagram business account has an additional feature to add a phone number, an official email address, and a business’s physical address.
What can we do for the presence for greater customer appeal?
- Don’t forget to add a link to increase the audience flow to your website or page. There is only one place where you can include the clickable link. Yes! It’s your bio. Under your page name and description, include the link to your website or page where you wanted to land your audience.
- Your business account needs a perceptible and consistent name and photo. The name and profile image should reflect what your brand is about. Select a distinguished name that relates to your brand.
- If I talk about profile images, stay recognizable. Once a person visits your profile should immediately recognize it when they search for it. Don’t put so much pressure on your mind. Just add any unique element to your profile image that helps people to recognize your brand swiftest.
Understanding The New Instagram Algorithm To Increase The Traffic
What thing on your page can hold the followers?
It’s essential to grab the attention of your Instagram followers. What thing do you notice first when you visit any Instagram profile? I check bio first to know” what this profile is about”? If I find any connectivity with the content, then I follow that account.
Bio is the first thing to appear when people click on your profile. Your bio decides the action of the visitor if they want to follow you or not. Engaging bio of the business may persuade the visitor to scroll for more content.
So add a killer bio that holds the followers’ attention.
