3 Tips on a Marketing Strategy for Instagram
Kelly Williams • Jul 10, 2019
In this day and age, there’s no denying that
social media
has become a powerful tool. It's a great means of communication.
We can get a vast amount of information from one corner of the world to an
extensive audience base in another within seconds. This has allowed businesses to come up with
strategies to advertise their products to a broader audience, which increases
their revenue significantly.
It also provides companies with the
opportunity to expand their influence, not only in their country but outside of
it as well. Of all the social media platforms out there, Instagram is one of
the best ones. It allows you to present your products and services visually,
which is the best form of advertisement possible. If you’re looking to create an Instagram
marketing strategy to improve the ROI of your business, here are three things
you should keep in mind:

1. Include a link to your website in your bio
This is something that many companies don’t
understand, but it’s an issue that’s easily fixed. When people land on your Instagram
page, they want to have all the information they need to complete the checkout. The best place for them to learn all of that
information is your website, so it’s only natural that you include a link to
your website in your Instagram bio. This will help them shift from your
Instagram page to your website, which will make it easier for them to make a
decision.

2. Add a URL to your videos
Another thing that you must not forget when
trying to launch an Instagram campaign is to make sure that the URL of your videois present in the post itself. This will allow people to get to your landing
page directly from your Instagram bio, which minimizes the work on their part.
The key to a successful digital marketing campaign is to reduce the effort on
the buyer’s part and this will definitely help with that.

3. Invest in ads
While the Instagram ad targeting tool may not
be as sophisticated as Facebook’s, it’s still good enough to give you good ROI.
There are countless interests you can target, which means that you can appeal
to any group you want to, as long as you have insight into which is the best
audience base for your campaign. You will need to do some research to find out
this crucial piece of information; otherwise, you will be throwing your
marketing budget away for nothing. You have to keep in mind that there’s no
universal formula for success when it comes to Instagram marketing. What works for other companies may not work
for yours, so you need to come up with your own strategies to make your
Instagram campaign work. If you’re having trouble doing that, you may need to
bring in a group of professionals.
