What is Instagram Marketing?
Instagram marketing is how brands use the app to make connections with their target audience. It’s commonly used to market products and services and build brand awareness and loyalty. Its popularity has grown as marketers understand the power of visual content.

You may be wondering if paying an agency to strategically position your brand on the platform is worth it. Because there are so many intricate features and possibilities, and stiff competition, using a professional Instagram marketing service is well worth the investment.

How It Works
A successful Instagram marketing strategy takes advantage of all the tools the platform has to offer.
A typical strategy includes:
Profile Optimization:
A complete profile helps you to earn the trust of your Instagram followers. That includes a branded profile image, a descriptive bio, engaging Instagram story highlights and a link to your website.
Follower Tactics:
The Instagram growth of your account often depends on its relationships with others. Following, liking and commenting on posts from other accounts is essential. In addition, sharing user-generated content can boost engagement with potential customers.
Keyword Research:
This is another place where professional help comes in handy. Our team knows the right Instagram hashtags that will attract new followers and potential customers to your account with highly specialized Instagram advertising. Using the right keywords and phrases is essential to optimizing your Instagram presence.
A Regular Posting Schedule:
It’s important to post with regularity so that your brand stays relevant.
Story Integration:
Instagram stories appear at the top of a user’s feed. They’re available for 24 hours before they disappear, making them perfect for sharing timely content and limited-time promotions.
Advertisements
In addition to building your Instagram following organically, paid Instagram ads can extend your reach to followers you haven’t interacted with yet. Brafton’s Instagram marketing services can help your brand create a plan to make your money work for you.

What Instagram Marketing Services Do We Offer?
By learning about your organization’s mission and goals, your strategist can develop Instagram campaigns that engage and convert. In addition, tailored analytics help you to understand your results so you can continually improve your strategy.
Rolling Instagram Marketing and Promotions
Successful Instagram marketing relies on relevant and timely content, which is why successful brands develop sustainable strategies. With consistent effort, your follower count will grow and you’ll see more visitors arriving at your site from this channel.
Rolling Instagram management includes activities that enhance Instagram user engagement and build your following. Your strategist can manage your Instagram account, supporting your brand with image and video posts, stories, shared user-generated content and more.
In addition, your strategist can help you to build relationships with influencers – accounts that may promote brands and content related to the interests of their followers. Sourcing, qualifying and collaborating with influencers requires the expertise to know when both parties are a good match for each other. Influencer marketing is challenging, but with the right strategy, it can pay off in terms of increased brand awareness and user engagement.
Rolling Instagram management includes monthly analytics reports and a 30-minute review call. Instagram reporting helps you understand your results and adjust your strategy based on real-world data.
Running a rolling Instagram campaign in tandem with other social media efforts can boost your results. Your strategist can help you align your campaign with up to four other social channels. For instance, many brands market on Instagram and Facebook because these platforms share user data.

À la Carte Instagram Posts
Instead of a rolling Instagram campaign, a social media strategist can help you craft one-off posts to promote blog posts, webinars, events and other offerings. This option might be a good idea if you want to support an in-house social media expert or you’re just dipping your toes into the platform.
We know that, as a brand owner, you’re busy and have a lot of other responsibilities. Your team might not have the hours in the day that should be devoted to regular posting. The benefits that come with consistency are valuable to your company and marketing strategy. As part of the service you receive, your strategist can help you schedule Instagram posts based on our data-driven research and best practices.
Instagram Listening
With over 1 billion people using the platform, it can be difficult to find out what people are saying about your brand. Searching Instagram hashtags and reading through user conversations is resource-intensive, especially for small marketing teams.
Your social media strategist is adept at identifying and assessing what’s being said about your company and its products. Plus, he or she can give you actionable advice on how to respond and nurture your customers according to your goals.
Audience Engagement Videos
Video content has 2 times higher engagement on Instagram, which is what makes this media asset so valuable. Plus, the platform has plenty of different ways to upload video content, from shorter Instagram Reels to longer and more robust IGTV options. With so many choices, your content strategist can help your team identify what’s best for different audiences and goals.
User engagement on Instagram is critical to success. Your brand can gain an advantage by working with a strategist to produce short-form video content that converts. Remember, Instagram is a scrolling app – your brand often has less than a second to make an impression before your Instagram post is scrolled away. A video encourages users to slow down and take in your messaging without asking too much in return.
Instagram Ad Management
Advertising on Instagram follows a pay-per-click model that uses a bidding algorithm to place your ads in users’ feeds and stories. Using the Facebook Ad Manager, you can slice your audience for precision campaigns.
An expert strategist will help you build your ads, identify audiences and develop a competitive bidding strategy. This service can be combined with other PPC platforms.
