When you come across a beautiful sight -- be it a beach, a mountain, or your pet's face -- sometimes, it inspires you to think bigger about what certain sights and experiences mean.


For those moments, you might consider posting a photo on Instagram with an equally inspiring quote as the caption. But you could take it even further -- and save characters -- by posting the photo with the quote.

How to Use Instagram Stories: A Simple Guide for Marketers

How to Use Instagram Stories: A Simple Guide for Marketers | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

Stories provides Instagram users with a chance to share posts at a higher frequency. While Instagram photos are typically reserved for perfectly composed shots, Stories allows you to share the little moments that may not be as picture-perfect.

Instagram is positioning this feature as a solution to over posting. There is a significant separate space where your Instagram Stories live and you can post as frequently as you want without worrying about over flooding your friends’ feeds or filling the grid on your profile page.

So, how does it work and how can it be helpful in building your marketing strategy? Don’t worry we have got you covered.

Before we start with how Instagram stories works,  let’s first have a glance at how they appear on your Instagram profile....

Wonder whether your brand should be on Instagram, and why?

Morgan Lefkof's curator insight, October 12, 2014 11:08 PM

This article discusses the importance of Instagram for businesses. Adding Instagram to your social marketing mix can increase online reach and attract new business. The article explains how to start your business’ Instagram and gives recommendations on meaningful social media campaigns. The next part of the article gives some information about Instagram. It was launched in October 2010 and was bought by Facebook in April 2012. Instagram members can share photos and videos using the phone application or the online site. The next portion of the article discusses why a brand should be on Instagram. Around 200 million people and 75% of brands already have Instagram accounts. It is now one of the largest social media platforms. With these high numbers, there is a chance that your brand is already being mentioned on Instagram.

I believe that Instagram is a very big contender in social media. As the article stated, this platform is growing and will continue to gain more members. I know some people who check their Instagram more than their Facebook. When completing our social media audit, I noticed that some businesses lack presence with Instagram. Businesses should read this article to see how beneficial it is to have an Instagram account.
