Possibilities of Instagram advertising
Since Instagram is a part of Facebook, you as an advertiser get all the possibilities you would get at Facebook. That’s highly ideal when you wish to reach a specific target audience, such as the visitors of your website or the people who have interacted with your page. Instagram offers four different advertising possibilities. They are always based on a photo or video.
PHOTO ADVERTISEMENTS
This is probably the most used type of advertisements on Instagram, because it shows the most resemblance to normal posts in your feed. Tell your story with a photo and a call-to-action below it to shop, look or book for instance.
VIDEO ADVERTISEMENTS
This option works the same way a photo advertisement does, but with the power of sight, sound and movement. You can share videos of up to 60 seconds in the usual square format, but there’s also the possibility to upload a horizontal version. Make sure the images are clear: not everyone has their sound on.
CAROUSEL ADVERTISEMENTS
Add more value to your advertisement by granting the user the possibility to look at more photos and videos. This way events can show off more artists within one advertisement. Try to make it visually clear there are multiple photos or videos.
STORY ADVERTISEMENTS
Show photos and videos in the stories of your chosen target audience. Use moving, interactive content with the possibility to link a website or Facebook event by swiping. The images appear as an advertisement in between other people’s stories. Photos will be shown 5 and videos 15 seconds.
