Why focus on digital marketing now?
The lockdown has impacted just about every business, while those that have focused on an online strategy have one less thing to worry about. In fact, many of them are growing.
Online businesses are experiencing a peak in their profitability, while their offline counterparts are facing significant setbacks. This global crisis has forced millions of stores to shut down worldwide. But at the same time, Amazon and Walmart are flourishing like never before — so much so that they have hired over 250 thousand new employees in the past months.
Not every business is Walmart or Amazon, however, many businesses can find ways to continue engaging with customers to sell using their online channel. Whether that be to provide training, webinars, sell curb-side, or deliver products they would normally sell in-store.
So, what does this mean for your business? It means that now it’s more important than ever to establish or update your online storefront.
Why Instagram?
Over the past years, Instagram has grown to become a leading discovery and recommendation channel for consumers. With its photo-centric interface, videos, and engaging Story format, Instagram is the optimal way for businesses to demonstrate their products or services. So it’s only natural that millions of brands, big or small, have set up shop on Instagram.
Instagram Business Statistics
Instagram has over 1 billion monthly active users, and over 800 million follow at least one Instagram business page. Additionally, more than 200 million of users visit at least one Instagram business profile per day. Furthermore, 60% of people say they have discovered a new product on Instagram.
If it’s the exposure that matters to you, you will be glad to know that 1/3 of the most viewed Instagram stories are from business pages.
What should you do to grow your Instagram business?
To run a successful Instagram account you need to:
- Develop a growth strategy: The first thing you need to do is to familiarize yourself with different methods of Instagram marketing. Remember, hashtags are your friends, Instagram bots are your enemies (they can get your account banned, literally). While growing your page organically is still a popular tactic, things like contests and giveaways provide a great way to grow fast.
- Develop a solid content plan: Instagram’s algorithm rewards pages that post content regularly. Read this post as the ultimate guide for never running out of Instagram post ideas. Developing a plan, pushing out solid content, and scheduling content regularly is a must.
- Turn your followers into prospective customers: This is why you started an Instagram business page in the first place. Use Instagram to drive traffic to your website, generate new sales leads, and establish your brand. Making your content linkable is the best way to drive traffic to other sites.
