Here at the Boutique Hub, we are dedicated to helping retailers grow and succeed in every aspect of business. Here are our top 5 tips for growing your boutique on Instagram!
First Impressions Matter! Utilize Your Bio
First impressions matter, especially on social media! The contents of your Instagram bio can make or break a new customer or a new follower. There is a strategy for writing the contents of your bio. Make sure you are making the most of that short piece of content to engage new customers! Click here to read our in-depth guide on the top 4 things your Instagram bio should have.
Content is King
Quality content matters! Posting content that your customers don’t want to engage with is a huge mistake. Do not just post just to post. Always put yourself in your audience’s shoes and think “If I came to access this post on my feed, would I want to engage with it or would it encourage me to ____?” Utilizing sharable memes, quotes, or asking questions is important.
Additionally, implementing video content into your strategy is key to Instagram’s success. Instagram is favoring video content and users are more likely to interact with it versus stagnant photos.
