1. VISUAL MERCHANDISING

Visual merchandising is key to creating successful content. Capture moments that are realistic to your customer. Posed and overly contrived photos may come off as inauthentic. Embrace POV-style photography in order to pull your customer into the story.

2. CAPTION WRITING

Instagram is how people are discovering and forming opinions about your brand, so it’s essential that every post works individually and as part of a larger story. Images are the first thing we notice, but captions play an important role too. Think like a magazine editor or brand writer — not an ADVERTISER.

3. HASHTAG STRATEGY

Hashtags allow your posts to be seen by users other than the ones that already follow you. Posts with hashtags will get 12.6% more engagement than photos without any hashtags*. Your hashtags should be relevant and contain keywords people are actually searching.
