Paid Advertisement:

You must have come across ‘sponsored’ posts while scrolling Instagram. Have you wondered why those posts are featured as ‘sponsored.’ It is because those are the paid advertisements by the concerned account. The goal of that paid advertisement was to target the audiences like you.

This feature is hands down the best feature that will guarantee you to increase your followers. This feature allows you to customize your advertisement as per geographical location, age group, reach count and also gender-wise all in your set budget! So many features in a single media to help you get the right audience. The advertised post will circulate among Instagram users and if they like the post then they will visit your profile and even follow you!

So in order to use paid advertisement, make sure your content is powerful enough to catch the attention of the audience because if your content is not good then the audience will not follow you even if it is under paid advertisement.

Paid advertisement goes hand in hand with attractive and unique content.

Reels:

This another Instagram feature is very exemplary to grow your account. Reels is on an explore page which helps the user to reach more audience. The popularity of reels has made businesses and influencers grow their accounts at a fast pace. Instagram reels get more views than the regular Instagram videos and IGTV due to its presence on exploring page. The more views your reels get, the more people can visit your profile and help you to gain followers. Moreover, reels have better visibility as Instagram stores vanish after 24 hours but reels don’t.

Using right keywords:

searching for things you want on google is pretty easy and you have the option to convey as you want on the search icon and the keywords will take you to the end number of websites for you. People on Instagram have only two options to search for accounts- name and username. So in order to make keywords work for you on Instagram, you should include the required keywords in your name or username. For example a photographer named Greg Williams is on Instagram under username @gregwilliamsphotography. The appropriate keyword for his field, photography, is already in his username. So if people want to search for photographers, they won’t have difficulty in finding him.

If you use the above features properly, you will find an increase in your followers. But it doesn’t happen overnight so you have to be a little patient and consistent in your efforts.

Let us take a look what you must know before marketing at Facebook and Instagram

Age group:

Understanding what age group has a higher range in Facebook and Instagram that will help you better in making decisions about where to market your brand or content. Instagram has high population users of young people between the age group of 18-30 while Facebook also has young people from 18-30 but Facebook has a high range of people above age 60+ and not Instagram. This is also mainly because Facebook was launched much earlier than Instagram hence older people are much familiar with Facebook. This statistics shows us that brands must understand and learn what age group of customers their products have and then choose the appropriate platform for the same. If your business has a customer base for elderly people then marketing on Instagram will be in vain. You won’t be able to find them easily on Instagram.

Let us look at an example to understand better. If a car company wants to establish its presence over social media, it has to use Facebook as a major platform because the majority of its potential buyers are present on Facebook rather than on Instagram.

Industry type:

Industry type also determines the decision of marketing on Facebook or Instagram. Facebook works better for professional services or brands like marketing agencies, travel and tourism, real estate, electronics, accessories etc. that doesn’t mean they cannot mark their presence on Instagram, but they will find success on Facebook than on Instagram. Instagram provides success to creators with talents and hobbies that can turn into business opportunities, lifestyle products, foods, entertainment, health etc.

Chanel has more than 23 million followers on Facebook but it has over 47 million followers on Instagram. Though it has success on both the platforms, chanel has better engagement and presence over Instagram. Samsung global has over 6 lakh followers on Instagram but it has a massive more than 47 million followers on Facebook! These comparisons are enough to understand how industry types play a role in the success of establishing presence on social media platforms.

Ads:

Nowadays paid advertisements are essential for a business or creator to grow constructively over Facebook and Instagram. Both Facebook and Instagram have lately introduced innovative updates to help the users to display advertisements. There’s no doubt both the platforms are very influential in running the paid advertisements, but one need to understand the difference between how the ads in both the platforms work. While ads in Instagram are more visually content, users must get the perfect photo for the post to circulate. While it doesn’t matter about the pictures on Facebook, the content has to be strong enough to grab the users.

As a business or creator one must need to research properly about the age group and which industry works best for Facebook and Instagram. Determine your goals and research them well before choosing the right social media.
