Advertising on The Instagram Platform
Insta-marketing is a great way to grow your business. With the high engagement rate and ease of use, it’s no wonder that so many businesses are getting on board with Instagram ads.
Instagram paid ads are great for businesses of all sizes. No matter how big or small you are, there’s a place for you in this space!
When done right Instagram ads are easy to set up and manage – and once they’re set up, they run themselves! All you have to do is watch the clicks roll in!
The Three Types of Instagram Advertising
There are three types of Instagram paid ads:
In-feed ads. When you see an ad in your Instagram feed, it’s an in-feed ad. These appear above or below posts from the accounts you follow, and they often show up on top of your list if you have a lot of new content to scroll through. You can also see them when you search for keywords like “tacos” or “NYC.”
Stories ads. In 2018, Instagram rolled out Stories ads—you know those videos that pop up at the end of friends’ Instagram Stories? They’re actually paid advertisements! And just like regular Instagram Stories, they disappear after 24 hours (unless granted extended life by their creators). Because Stories ads look just like regular content when they first appear in someone’s feed, people might not realise at first that they’re advertisements instead of organic material from their friends’ Instagram stories.
In-app purchases and subscriptions linked to an existing account (e.g., magazine subscriptions).
Why Instagram paid ads work
Instagram is a visual platform.
The ads are highly targeted.
They are easy to set up and measure.
They cost less than other platforms such as Facebook or Google, but can still drive great results.
