INSTAGRAM

Every seller wants to take advantage of Instagram for their business. With over 1 billion monthly
active users and 500 million daily active users, Instagram has come a long way since its birth in 2010,
and businesses are starting to draw attention. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, saw the potential
of the platform and the benefits of Instagram, which bought it just 18 months after launching at $ 1
billion, and the platform has continued to grow ever since. Businesses are starting to respond more
and more to this fast-growing platform, and if you analyse the top 100 brands in the world, 90% of
them have an Instagram account. With so many brands and businesses on Instagram, you may be
thinking, “They should have some incentive to use Instagram constantly, but is it really that cool to
post some cool photos of their brand? “Not enough”. As some of the world's top brands have
proven, there are many tangible ways to generate sales, leads and more through Instagram.

BENEFITS OF INSTAGRAM FOR BUSINESS

1. Purchasing Power - Have Instagram online users used the app to purchase an online product?
Makes them 70% more likely than non-Instagram users. There are over 1 billion monthly active users
on Instagram, so at least 333,333,333 of them have used Instagram to buy product online.

With the sales power you have on Instagram, you don’t want to lose out with this platform. At the
end of the day, sales are what most business owners strive for, and it’s no different when it comes to
the benefits of Instagram.

2. Advanced Targeting Options - You have access to the most advanced social media ad targeting
options available on Instagram's advertising platform, which means you can already understand your
specific target audience within the 333,333,333 Instagram users who are likely to buy. In addition to
the cold targeting options listed above, Instagram also has the same advanced retorting capabilities
as Facebook does. Here, cold targeting refers to people who have never seen or heard of your brand
or business before. They are cold and need to be “heated” in order to be expected to be a buyer and
a buyer. Retargeting means re-targeting people who have already seen or heard of your brand and
business. The most common retargeting method is to target visitors to your website who have not
yet made a purchase (or fill out a form with us, or complete any action they want to take on your
site). Instagram offers even more. You can create custom retarding audiences based on Instagram
post engagement, customer email lists, Instagram video views and more.

3. Understanding Your Customer Base - Instagram is a great tool for learning about the changing
likes and dislikes of your customer base and followers. You can see what kind of content they like
the most, whether they are attracted or not. You can see which accounts they want to follow and
which they do not like.
4. Visual Appeal - The main advantage of Instagram is that it differs from all other social media
platforms in that it focuses on photos. Unlike other social media sites, Instagram only contains
photos and videos that may contain text, but text is not mandatory. This is useful for you, because
most people remember it more than reading or listening or watching.

5. Trackability - You can see the clear ROI as you track sales and leads through Instagram ads. While
this advantage of Instagram is obvious, you can imagine how many companies are investing in the
platform regardless of its functionality.
