Instagram Stories launched in August 2017. This Snapchat like feature had many Instagram users groaning, many refusing to use the feature at all. This all changed after Instagram switched from a chronological timeline to an algorithm based timeline. Businesses and celebrities found the usefulness of Instagram stories, especially after realizing the chronological based timeline was not coming back.

Many businesses are not taking advantage of the Story feature on Instagram. This is a grave mistake, especially when it is essentially another form of free advertising. The Instagram algorithm pulls content it believes users want to see first, and unless your business’s followers interact with the account often, it is unlikely your posts will be seen in a timely manner. Instagram stories give your business quicker visibility, which in turn will help generate more leads. Lost on how to get started with Instagram stories? Here are a few tips and tricks to begin using Instagram stories to generate leads.

Company Culture

Give followers a face with the name. Humanize the company, and buyers will feel a stronger connection to the brand. To do this, take advantage of the silly filters. Take videos and photos of office celebrations. Highlight employee achievements, special events, or volunteer efforts.

Behind the Scenes Look

Much like company culture, giving followers a behind the scenes look generates love and respect for the company. Show followers how products or made. Show them the journey the order takes from creation to delivery. Share photos of the giant shipment going out, or how delicately each and every item is hand wrapped before being put in mailers.

Demos

New products are perfect for demos. Post a video explaining how to use the product and the benefit of using the product. Finally, video someone using the product and talking about how great, easy, or fun it is to use.

“Check out newest post”

Draw attention to your new posts by posting information about it in you Instagram story. Use attention grabbing captions like, “A new surprise awaits in our newest post! Go there now!” or, “Exciting announcement in our newest post!” Create a call to action asking followers to like or comment on posts.

Links

Links are one of the fastest ways to generate leads. On Instagram, a profile must be a business account (or be verified) and have 10,000 followers to post links directly into Instagram stories. Using links in conjunction with demos will draw more viewers to look and purchase products.

If your business does not have 10,000 followers quite yet, put the link in the profile bio. Change the link based on the story, and caption, “Link in bio,” on demos. Each time the link is changed, mention it in the Instagram story. Be sure to only change the link once every 24 hours at the most. Instagram stories are available for a full 24 hours before disappearing, so changing the link multiple times will only confuse followers.

Coupons and Specials good for 24 hours

Sales, deals, and specials should be mentioned on Instagram stories. Since stories only stick around for 24 hours, this is a great way to generate fresh leads that may have not known about deals.

Use this method to mention sold out products that have been restocked. If a product is almost sold out, let followers know to grab one before it is gone.

Popular Stories can be featured in the Search and Explore section of Instagram. Try to get as many views as possible, so your company’s can be featured. If you are successful at this, the amount of new leads is infinite. Put yourself in the followers’ shoes. Post what they want to see. Use Instagram stories to target your target market even further, and you will find yourself generating more leads.

Statistics indicate that more than half of all businesses have enlisted an email marketing provider to support their efforts. Of the firms that use email marketing, three-quarters or more have expressed intentions to buy marketing automation software this year.

As the marketing world discovers more about the behavior of mobile users, more designers will realize the need to develop content appropriately for each device. The trend will continue to grow throughout the year as companies strive to provide the user experience required to achieve sustained growth.

Dependence on Big Data

Mobile data has fueled a boom in Big Data as marketers learn how users interact with brands. As firms sift through unprecedented amounts of information gleaned from mobile users, they hope to find clues about consumer behavior that can provide a competitive advantage. Information about referral traffic, and user flow through mobile sites and apps directs the efforts of developers as they capitalize on user preferences. Social media continues to attract a high percentage of mobile traffic, contributing more to the growing pool of available data.

Companies will increasingly use Big Data to predict the needs and desires of customers both online and in physical stores. The personalized customer experience provided by Big Data insights will improve customer satisfaction and increase sales throughout the client’s life-cycle.

Vertical Video Advertising

Video advertising has proven its merit, but mobile users only reluctantly will turn their phone sideways to see a full-screen video. Vertical video eliminates that problem. Statistics affirm the promise of video ads that run in full-screen portrait mode on smartphones and other devices. Early adopters such as Macy’s, NBC, and Periscope have begun a trend that will gain momentum throughout 2016. As data reaffirms the new marketing tactic, expect more companies to develop compelling vertical video ads that will captivate the attention of users for extended periods, resulting in higher conversion rates.

Mobile dominance has fueled the urgency of marketers working tirelessly to keep up with evolving technology and increasing user demands. As the year unfolds, expect the trends listed here to guide your marketing campaigns. New developments will continue to alter the dynamic mobile landscape, so keep your eyes open for more new and exciting opportunities.
