Many large corporations take advantage of the benefits that social media has to offer. However, small businesses frequently overlook the potential that social media, especially Instagram, have to aid and grow your brand.
Before you can begin thinking about your social media strategy, it’s crucial to raise funding and get your business on its feet. Then, building your social account will give your business legs. That is, the ability to stay relevant and continue success.
When curating your feed, think more in-depth than a beautiful or interesting image to optimize your online profile, you’ll have to implement the perfect mix that conveys your brand. You can do this by segmenting your account into three parts. Seamless integration of your bio, content mix and engagement strategy will create a big picture of your small business’s brand values and goals.
Curate Your Feed by Segmenting Your Account Into Three Parts
The Perfect Instagram Bio
Be clear and concise in your bio. So your Instagram profile visitors have a coherent understanding of what your company is all about. You can also add functionality to your bio by including promotions, hashtags, and links.
The Ideal Content Mix
In addition to investing in amazing photography, use the tools that the platform has to offer. Incorporating Instagram stories, relevant hashtags, and opinion leaders into your media will increase brand awareness.
The Effective Engagement Strategy
Maximize user engagement by posting at key times, typically Tuesday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM. You should ensure that your feed is aesthetically consistent, but don’t be afraid to source high-quality photos from customers. Posts with giveaways and location tags will also boost your following.
