Master the Art of Instagram with these 4 Tips

Marketing through images is becoming extremely important as our society increasingly continues to value the visual appeal of advertising campaigns. Instagram is by far the leader in developing a marketing strategy focused on sharing your story using images. If your photos seem to lack the appeal that you see on other’s profiles, it may help for you to learn more about how to master the art of Instagram.

Here are 4 tips to help make you an Instagram expert:
1. Get close for a better perspective. Shots that are taken from longer distances can lack appeal and feel uninspiring. Close-ups help showcase the lifestyle or product you are trying to sell.

2. Don’t use the zoom. Zooming on smartphones often results in poorer quality shots. Rather use your crop tool after the fact to focus on a specific aspect of the photo.

3. Choose filters carefully. Instagram is known for having every filter imaginable and while they may look cool and fun the over-use of them can make your overall message get lost in the shuffle. Only use filters that match the story you want to portray.

4. Become friends with the light. Lighting makes all the difference in whether a shot looks professional or just so-so. Timing when you take your photos can help with utilizing natural light and when necessary soft artificial light can be added to further enhance the image.

Don’t have time to invest in your Instagram account but want to include it in your overall marketing strategy? Grand Marketing Solutions offers a full range of social media management services to help keep your business relevant in the visual world we live in today.

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.
