Getting connected with Instagram
Instagram enables you to build a community of followers, position your ?brand?, establish a reputation and publicise your work instantly. Here?s a bite size way to turn Instagram into Insta-business!
Think first
If you want it to support your business, you need a plan to grow your number of followers and grab attention. When you message, use #tags so people can find you in searches.
Use as part of your social mix
Instagram is a great platform but others such as Facebook and Twitter can provide ways of targeting people. Ensure you promote your Instagram profile and posts, across a range of social platforms to encourage people to follow you.
Connect and engage
The key to achieving real results and a return on investment is engagement. Get your team involved and as long as you set the rules on good content, your fans will love it and respond to it. Avoid posting images for the sake of it.
Get your fans involved
When you have a good content plan and a happy engaged community, start designing promotions to encourage further engagement.
