Instagram is growing at an extremely fast pace, recently surpassing 500 million monthly users, who are collectively responsible for more than 95 million posts, both image and video, daily.
It presents a huge marketing opportunity for businesses of varying sizes and across multiple industries, yet many still aren’t active on the social network. There are organic opportunities as well as paid, through the self-serve platform, which features Facebook’s targeting options. Instagram ads can be created in three formats, which are video, photo or carousel.
Visual content, both video and images, presents an advantage over text-based ads, due to 40% of consumers responding better to visual information compared to plain text.
