Using Instagram Stories for Your Business

Instagram stories are the perfect way to provide customers with bite-sized information about your products and services, and at the same time get a sense of what your target audience thinks of you.

Here are some of the features that you need to know about Instastories:

1. Highlights

The highlight function allows you to store a series of related stories together and it is a great way to keep the important things at the top of your page! Here are some of the things that you should keep in your highlights:

  • About Us (your company/business)
  • Your latest products/services
  • Company Bonding/Activity for employer branding

2. Questions

So you’ve launched a new product and you’re not sure as to whether or not your consumers are enjoying it. Here’s what you can do: ask them on Instagram with the questions function! Not only will this give your consumers the opportunity to tell you what they think, it also encourages people to discuss about your product!

3. Polls
