Instagram Masterclass: Instagram Marketing 2021

With over a billion monthly users, Instagram is the sixth most used app in the world today.

In fact, surveys have shown that over 81% of people use Instagram to help research products and services.

When launched, Instagram was simply a photo-sharing and social networking application. Now, it has evolved into a platform where you can share images, videos, short and long-form of video content, and even written guides. Hence, it has become a medium through which businesses, brands, and influencers can find and connect with their target audience effectively.

From sharing funny memes and short 10 second videos to sharing detailed guides and long one-hour videos, Instagram makes it possible for you to do all that and more.

This is why using Instagram Marketing for products and services has become extremely important if you want to upscale your business.

Why use Instagram Marketing?

A major difference between Instagram and other social media platforms is that Instagram is a visual platform. This means that even though you can add text, the app itself gives preference to photos and videos.

It has been proven that viewers retain up to 95% more information while watching a video as compared to just 10% while reading something.

As a result of this, top and local brands in the world are now using Instagram Marketing. With Instagram Marketing, they have the opportunity to be as creative as they want and promote their products or services through visually compelling and eye-catching graphics. And in turn, are able to drive a considerable amount of sales towards their businesses.

Not using the features available on Instagram would result in you missing out on what the app has to offer.
