According to Pew Internet report, over 4.2
billion posts get liked, and over 95 million pictures are shared in just less
than 24 hours. From these numbers, it is evident that this platform offers a
quite significant opportunity for one to share his/her message.
Shoutouts are the most efficient way of
getting your brand noticed by users who are interested in what you are
offering. By sharing your content with influencers, you are giving their
followers a chance to connect with your brand.
Shoutouts are easy and powerful. However,
they are not bulletproof. If you want to ensure that you market yourself
effectively, first you need to make sure that you stand out. Thus to help you
increase your noise ratio and make your brand stand out, below are three steps
that you should consider first;
Step1: Create Desirable Content
If your ultimate aim is to find new
followers, first you need to come up with a page that users want to follow.
Instagram users prefer feeds with visually appealing and interesting content.
Even though your ultimate goal is to market, Instagram is not a place for a
hard pitch. Rather you will want to come up with feeds full of images that
correctly captures your brand culture. This is an opportunity for you to build
a lasting relationship with potential clients. You could frame the product line
in an artistic way or keep it simple.
Step 2: Find a Brand Ambassador
Once your page is set up, you are ready to
get some exposure. Normally brands establish themselves on Instagram first
before they start looking for shoutouts. When looking for an influencer, the
brands will search for one with whom their customers follow then they manually
reach out to the influencer to find out if he/she would be interested in
promoting their business. Look for influencers who promote the kind of
lifestyle your brand represents.
Step2: Engage Your Users
Getting a few shoutouts implies that you
have gained some following on your page. When your message is fresh in the
user's mind, they get enthusiastic and look forward to interacting with you. To
make the most out of this, it is essential to keep the users engaged. Perhaps
one of the ways to do this is by sharing their content or watching out for related
hashtags. If someone has posted a photo in which he/she is using your product,
showcase it on your page. Making followers part of the brand helps in building
a reciprocal relationship. Also, respond to posted comments and questions, this
will show the followers that their efforts are valued.
If you are just getting started with
Instagram marketing, all you need are three things, good content, real people
and engagement and you are set!
