What is Instagram?

Instagram originally started as a photo and video-sharing social media platform. It has continually evolved over the years to become a whole new beast encompassing photos, short and long-form videos, stories, and enhanced shopping features.

Instagram is the perfect platform to display your business visually. Think of it as your shop window: a perfect opportunity to give a new audience their first impression of your business or brand.

Why use Instagram to market your business?

  • Out of all the social media marketing services, Instagram is the ideal best way to visually display your business.
  • Reels allow for inventive ways to show your product or services.
  • You can create a dedicated audience to engage with.
  • You can work with other accounts and creators to create collaborations to boost brand awareness.
  • It’s a great way to send relevant traffic to your website.
  • For many Instagram is an alternative search tool to Google.
  • Boost your impression share and keep up with competitors.

Instagram Marketing: Paid or Organic?

Advantages of posting on Instagram organically:

  • Organic content allows you to curate the perfect aesthetic feed.
  • Organic posts can also act as a ‘portfolio’ for your products or services. 
  • Consistent organic posts can result in organic growth and organic followers.
  • Build a genuine relationship with your followers.
  • Establish a consistent brand personality and voice.

Disadvantages of posting organically on Instagram:

  • The algorithm is always changing so engagement on every post isn’t guaranteed.
  • Due to the algorithm, you may have 10k followers, but only a percentage of them may see your post and engage.
  • Not always guaranteed to see results instantly, it takes time to build up engagement.

Advantages of using paid advertising on Instagram:

  • You can create specific audiences to target (including demographics and interests).
  • You can create customer journeys (brand awareness and retargeting ads). 
  • You can measure the success of ads with metrics like conversions and landing page views.
  • You can increase your reach and tap into new audiences.
  • Ads can be used for multiple reasons: boost sales, increase awareness and engagement, collect data, or increase followers.

Disadvantages of using paid advertising on Instagram:

  • Not as wide of an audience as other platforms. Whilst Instagram is popular, you’ll get a wider reach on Google or YouTube. 
  • Instagram ad features aren’t as flexible as those on Facebook. Targeting isn’t quite as detailed either. 
  • Instagram doesn’t always encourage engagement. The casual scrolling nature of the platform means that impressions can be high, whilst engagements may remain low.

What businesses are best suited for Instagram marketing?

Usually, businesses that are aesthetically pleasing tend to perform best on Instagram due to the platform’s visual nature.

However, it can still work if your business has enough good quality content that can prove engaging for your followers.

Industries and niches that tend to succeed on Instagram include:

  • Hair and beauty
  • Fashion and clothing
  • Lifestyle
  • Home interior and home improvements 
  • Meme-based accounts
  • Food accounts
