Importance Of Instagram
- Instagram is the fastest growing social media platform in the world at present
- It has over 400 million worldwide users (December 2015)
- It is also the social media platform with the highest rate of user engagement
- The platform is estimated to receive over 100 million new image uploads per day
- Users engage via comments or likes and the platform produces over 10,000 engagements every second
Health, beauty and fashion are dominant categories within Instagram but travel and food are also very popular.
Until recently Instagram was completely untouched by advertising formats. A user’s Instagram timeline is only populated with images posted by other users they have purposely elected to ‘follow’. Thus the platform is seen as one of the most controlled and non-invasive social media platforms around. That said, despite being the least invasive, Instagram has a very personal connection with its users. It’s often said to be a highly motivational and inspiring platform within which personal discovery is seamlessly promoted.
Instagram has added video functionality to their platform within the last 12 months. This allows for videos (with sound) of up to 15 seconds to be used in place of an image. As a brand, this means you can use Instagram with a greater range of creativity. You can also use it to build a more personal connection with users. Some Instagram users have earned celebrity status similar to that enjoyed by YouTube Bloggers (Video Bloggers) showing just how powerful the platform can be and why it’s worth including in your social media marketing plan.
