Instagram has stood the test of time and is now one of the most popular social networking platforms today. So, if your brand isn't already on Instagram, then there is no time like the present to get started. Instagram has been around for a while, but not a lot of people know how to make the most of its features.

Instagram is great for sharing videos and photos so make sure that when you connect the business with your followers, make sure that it stays consistent with your brand rather than straying away or showing things that just don't go together. Use your brand or company name in hashtags: the hashtags that you pick don't have to be complicated. If you already have a pretty good following on Instagram, or your brand name is well known, go ahead and use this as one of your hashtags. This will make it easier for your followers to find you because they can just search the name and find some of your posts. Make a follower famous: it is not just about your followers checking out your posts, it is about how you interact with your followers. Take the time to look over the pages of your followers and then like and share some of their posts. This helps to show the customers that you really appreciate them because you are acknowledging their cool posts and sharing them with others on your page. Be careful with this one though because some may be personal and you should always ask for permission beforehand if you are unsure whether they would like it shared or not. So, if you are ready to learn more, then let us get started immediately!
