Why Instagram?

True should you start?

It all starts with selecting eye-catching products. There is a lot of thought that needs to go into this. The trick is to start by zeroing in on a subcategory within a larger category. For example, don’t feature very general products such as honey or olive oil. Instead, opt for a product that contains honey or olive oil; such as a special face cream that is refined with honey or olive oil. Or, instead of a standard iPhone case, feature covers made from unique materials, such as wood. Choosing a “niche” product to feature will draw attention your way.

It’s more than just the product

Showcasing a product in its standard packaging simply won’t cut it for the customer. What it ultimately comes down to is imaging and experience. Make sure that you present your products in a way that tells a story. This is the formula for brand success, even when you haven’t gained much traction yet. Through imagery, you can sell not only the product, but the experience. For example, don’t just sell a bamboo toothbrush, sell the importance of sustainability. By first responding to the customers’ emotions and feelings you will draw them in, and the product will then sell itself.

Once the product and the imagery are ready to go, you need to ensure that you are targeting the right audience. You can start by looking at the strategies that other “Instagram brands” are using. You want your marketing campaigns to get the same kind of exposure as those brands. Look into smart targeted advertisements that use lots of images and videos. Additionally, you can implement a smart contact strategy where you automatically follow relevant people in your space.

Return on investment

This might sound like a big investment of both time and money, but ultimately, it will give you the results you want. If you appeal to the right target audience on Instagram, using a good story, and a nice “niche” product that is branded properly, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a successful brand before you know it!
