Instagram Ads
Instagram ads are posts that promote a business’s products or services. The posts can appear in multiple ways, such as an Instagram feed, stories, or both. They can include images or videos along with copy and a link to the web page of the company’s choice.
There are 8 main types of Instagram ads:
- Photo ads.
- Video ads.
- Carousel ads.
- Story ads.
- Collection ads.
- Explore ads.
- Shopping ads.
- Reels ads.
- Put simply, they’re advertisements on Instagram’s social media platform, which Facebook owns now. You can choose to use either photos or videos for your campaign, and you can run them in the regular scrolling feed or Stories feature.
- Shortly after Facebook bought Instagram in 2013, the platform started offering ads to specific businesses. In 2015, it opened its advertising services to anyone.
- Because Facebook has a wealth of data on its users, it allows businesses to curate and target their marketing campaigns. When creating a new ad, you can filter by age and region. But you can drill down a lot deeper, too, and choose an audience by city, interests, and whether or not they’ve engaged with your content in the past.
- Advertising on Instagram is also relatively cheap compared to other mediums, and you can tailor your campaign based on your budget. Keep in mind that your ad cost will vary depending on which age group you’re targeting—and at what time of year. Ads created in the 4th financial quarter of a given year tend to be the most expensive.
Why advertise on Instagram?
- With more than 1 billion active users, Instagram is a leading social media platform. Not convinced by this number? Well, just a little while ago, Instagram announced its 700 million users milestone. A growth of almost 30+% in a little time tells us more about this platform’s popularity and future potential than anything else.
- In simple words, it has become a huge and diverse online community with unlimited marketing potential.
- Of course, Facebook has more active users than Instagram. However, sheer numbers may not be the first thing to consider when advertising a small business. If you want to successfully promote your small business, you should look first at the relevant data. The statistics are more than just simple numbers calculated to attract more users.
- According to Forrester, Instagram is the king of social media with a 4.21% engagement rate.
- This is a huge number, considering that Facebook and Twitter combined barely reach a 0.10 engagement rate. “Instagram delivered 58 times more engagement per follower than Facebook and 120 times more engagement per follower than Twitter” Forrester ads.
What are the 8 benefits of Instagram advertising?
- Here are the real benefits of advertising on Instagram.
- There are more than 700 million users on Instagram and the community is still growing.
- Instagram and Facebook are connected. So it’s easier to target your audience based on Facebook data. All budgeting and scheduling tasks, the setup and creation of ads are done through Facebook. So you don’t need to start from scratch and learn about Instagram, once you’ve already used its sister platform for marketing and ads.
- Instagram ads are non-intrusive and less likely to annoy your targeted audience.
- The engagement rate on Instagram is higher than the engagement rate on any other social media platform.
- You can easily integrate Shopify and sell your products instantly.
- Instagram measures the success of your campaign based on awareness, reach and recall instead of follower counts, likes, or comments.
- Most people use their smartphones to read their news, socialize on Facebook or post their own stories and update social media timelines. Most smartphones feature high-end cameras that can shoot photographs to be immediately posted on Instagram. Everybody can be an amateur photographer. Instagram is the best channel for this type of media and it’s why most mobile users have Instagram accounts.
- In terms of ROI and cost, Instagram marketing returns the best results. It’s effective and less time-consuming than other online marketing channels.
