Tips to Attract Ideal Customers

Here are some tips to attract your ideal customers from Instagram:

Post Eye-Catching Images

A picture is worth a thousand words so it’s important to create attention-grabbing and high-quality photos to promote your business. The best way to sell something via pictures is to show its uses to potential consumers. If done right, fans will be so enticed by the imagery that they need to purchase it for themselves.

Improve Your Instagram Reach

Hashtags get your product or service noticed organically. Consider using three to five hashtags in your post to avoid being too spammy. 

Balance Work with Play

You’ll quickly lose traction if all you do is try to sell. Mix in some fun photos related to your industry so that you don’t come across as an emotionless marketing machine.

Present Various Aspects of Your Business

Show your customers what goes on behind the scenes. Demonstrate all aspects of your business, from manufacturing to sales to delivery. Typical day-to-day stuff can be pretty boring for your customers, but you can shine a light on the more interesting things that may happen that week or month. Also, highlighting the people who are your biggest fans (customers or employees) can be a fun way to promote your business.

Hire an Expert

Of course, there are people, like the staff at Advent Trinity, who can tell you when filters or particular hashtags make sense and which photo would be most attractive to your target audience.  Let the experts handle your social media across all platforms.
