Instagram Stories

You can tell your brand’s personal story through Instagram Stories. Stories are more of an impact than still images and they don’t crowd your followers’ feeds. If you own a Business account and have 10K+ followers, you can add a “swipe up” to your Stories and redirect traffic to your website. Stickers in Stories can further improve engagement.

Instagram Live

As the name implies, Instagram Live is for live videos. They are a great way to land at the first position in your followers’ Story section. Live videos look candid and engage viewers for longer. For live videos, you can include interviews, product demos, and Q&A with your viewers. Just remember to have a basic script and format in hand to avoid goof ups. 

Instagram TV (IGTV)

Similar to Stories, IGTV is for longer videos with cover photos. You can use them to do promotions and influencer takeovers. There are many free sophisticated movie-making apps like iMovie and FilmoraGo that you can use to shoot delightful videos. 

Contests and Giveaways

Contests and giveaways are clever strategies to get new followers. You can instruct contest entrants to tag their friends and/or to follow your page. Your brand can get more visibility and your followers can win cool goodies in return.
