Instagram Ad Considerations:
Create ads that you feel your audience will fully resonate with by understanding what they're gravitating towards the most. Are they currently hooked on a specific product? What are industry trends you can get ahead of? Try boosting a post or story of that product during certain holidays.
Take a look at your insights on your Instagram account to determine your audience's interests and top-performing posts. If you're getting more activity on IG Stories compared to in-feed posts, try tailoring and optimizing your Instagram Ads for Stories instead of posts.
Create an immersive experience for your customers by using hi-res imagery and videos. Ensure your imagery matches the tone of the ad. For example, playful products should be accompanied by fun colors in the ad with clever captions. Always match your feed aesthetic and your feed visuals to your Instagram ads to create cohesive symmetry within your content. Your audience should be able to recognize your content overtime with consistent messaging and posts.
