They may only be up for 24 hours, but did you know well over 50% of people are influenced to making purchases after viewing?

Curating your IG and FB Stories and tailoring to your audience’s interest can make all the difference in your business’s success.

Ready to ramp up your story game? Here’s what we suggest:

  1. Encourage discussion

1 in 5 IG stories receives a direct message – which for businesses, is a lead. Instagram has created multiple tools which create a new avenue for discussion; poll buttons, Q&A stickers, and more. Utilising these features and asking questions results in more leads, which results in more future customers. ⚡️

  1. Be authentic

Create and publish content that is honest, real and not over-produced. Posting interactive stories which mimic your ideal audience’s personal content is the best way to cut through and be seen – by the people who matter the most.

  1. Be relevant

Show your audience you live within half an hour of them with a location sticker. Tell your audience you love Taco Tuesday just as much as they do with a hashtag. Post content that relates to trending topics in the media and amongst your followers. It sounds simple – because it is. Being relevant and utilising these features results in finding more of the right people, whilst bringing your current audience closer to you.

  1. Utilise IG story highlights

Over 60% of Instagram users discover new brands and products on the platform. Your IG account is essentially a landing page, that should provide fresh eyes with the information they need to understand who you are, and what you offer. Pool your IG stories into a “highlight”, which features on your profile page. Many brands effectively use this feature to highlight specific elements of the business; FAQ’s, customer testimonials, tips & tricks and more.
