Instagram Success for Small Business

Since its launch in October 2010, Instagram has grown into one of the largest, most popular photo-sharing apps on the market today. One of the main reasons for Instagram’s success is its ability to continuously evolve while responding to the user’s ever-changing needs. Built on a strong foundation, Instagram has weathered the storm of other photo-sharing competitors such as Tumblr and Snapchat continuing to come out on top. Small businesses have found Instagram to be one of the best ways to achieve more organic growth while curating a stronger follower base. It offers some unique advantages to help any small business achieve online marketing success including:
– Creates a great outlet for small business owners to interact with customers in today’s fast-paced digital world
– Can be an effective tool for use with a comprehensive social media marketing strategy
– Features an easy, user-friendly way to share photos and video with your target audience

Here are some tips for Instagram success

– Make sure to include your blog or website link in your profile. This practice is the best way to push Instagram traffic to your other sites. It especially rings true if you use Instagram to announce a new blog post or product launch.

– Use hashtags! It should be easy for others to join in on discussions and share their experiences with your small business. Consistently use a standard tag for your business to further strengthen the brand and prompt others to do the same.

– Link your posts. It makes the up-keep of consistent posting so much easier when you link your Instagram posts to Twitter and Facebook. Just a couple clicks and you’re done.

– Post video too. Instagram isn’t just for photos anymore; it can also be an outlet for short clips that share your message.

Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.

Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
