- Remember that Instagram is recreational. People arenāt necessarily active on Instagram because they intend to purchase items, so they donāt always want to be talked to as a āconsumer.ā
- Therefore, the best way to communicate with your followers or prospective shoppers is in a natural way, that seamlessly integrates with the rest of their feed.
- Although you should speak differently to your consumers on Instagram as opposed to your website or traditional ads, your branding should still be cohesive. If someone discovers your brand on Instagram, they shouldnāt see completely different messaging when they decide to visit your website.
- Focus on what makes your brand unique. Because Instagram is so competitive, itās important to get to the āwhyā of your brand. Why would consumers choose to follow you? Why would they want to keep up with you instead of your competitors? Make this clear on your page. A strong logo design can also help convey your brandās identity, making it easier for followers to instantly recognize and connect with your message.
