Advertise Instagram


Instagram ads have proven to be an effective means for generating new business. A study conducted by Forrester in 2016 reviewed how the top 50 global brands market on social media. Forrester evaluated 11.8 million user interactions on 2,489 posts made by 249 branded profiles. Data was collected on how many top brands use each social network.  how many fans they have, how often they post, and how often users interact with their posts. Forrester found that the average number of Instagram followers for a top brand is now over 1 million—almost five times higher than in 2015.



Types of Instagram ads
There are three main types of Instagram ads to choose from. Whether your goal is to build brand awareness, get more website visits, or increase downloads of your mobile app, Instagram can help you access a huge, engaged audience. Read on for a rundown of the photo, video, and carousel ads, and then watch the video below to determine which is the best option for your business.

Instagram photo ads
With photo ads, businesses can tell their story and feature products through visually engaging imagery. Market your brand to a broad audience or just the customers in your hometown with guaranteed impressions.

Instagram video ads
You can make Instagram video ads up to 60 seconds long, but according to data from Vista, the first 30 seconds of a social video is what matters most. If you can hook your audience in that timeframe, they are more likely to stick around and engage.

Instagram carousel ads
With carousel ads, Instagram users can swipe to see additional images and a call to action button takes them to a website to learn more. Carousel ads are like the digital version of the multi-page print campaigns of yesteryear. Unlike print ads, carousel ads offer the added benefit of taking people to a website to learn more.

Instagram Stories ads
In Instagram Stories, users will encounter full-screen ads as they scroll through their Stories feed. This feature changes the way Instagram users interact with ads—allowing users to feel like they’re in the ad.
