Create a clear strategy

The use of any social network in a random and aimless way can lead to wasted resources and a low return on investment. Instagram is no exception. Having a strategy in place will help you define what you want to achieve, so you can segment and attract new followers relevant to your business.

Whether you're starting from scratch or adjusting your efforts towards Instagram, here are three elements to building a solid strategy:


 
Investigate your competitors

An analysis of what your competitors are doing on Instagram will show you the following:

  • - How really is a realistic business follow of your niche or industry;
  • - What kind of content other businesses in your niche or industry post - and what is not working.
  • - How often the audience will expect you to post content.
  • - How other companies are engaging your target audience.
Decide what story you will tell

No matter what industry your business fits into, you have a story to tell that fits perfectly into a highly visual network like Instagram. The compelling narrative in your content will give you one being on purpose and can inspire word of mouth from your current community, making your Instagram account more appealing to new followers.

Satisfy the curiosity of your followers by showing how your product is made, or by sharing a prospect's perspective to humanize your brand, or position your brand aspirationally, by presenting the lifestyle of your customers. You do not have to limit your strategy to just one of these groups. Most successful brands will tell you all these stories at once in different ways and perhaps on different social channels.
