Viral marketing is a marketing strategy that uses existing social media and other online networks to promote your products or services. It can be a great way to reach new customers, but it's not as easy as it sounds. You have to know what you're doing before you start trying to make something go viral.
If you want to grow your audience, Instagram is a great place to do it. It's one of the most popular social networks out there and has more than 700 million users--and that number continues to grow every day.
If you're just getting started with Instagram, these numbers can seem intimidating or even scary. But here's the thing: you don't have to have millions of followers right away in order for your business' growth on Instagram to have an impact on its success overall. Grow your follower base gradually.
If you're hosting an event, use the photo and video-sharing platform to promote the event.
• Make sure that you have a good hashtag for your brand. For example, if you own a coffee shop and are promoting a "buy one get one free" offer on Friday afternoon, consider using #caffeinefix or #fridaycoffee as hashtags that are easy for consumers to remember and share with their friends via Instagram Stories or in comments on photos posted by others who attended the event.
As your Instagram following grows, so does your ability to build customer loyalty. Customers who follow you on Instagram are already interested in what you have to offer and want to see more of it. They feel connected with the brand and trust that it will deliver quality products or services as advertised.
When a customer feels special by being invited into this exclusive group of people who know about the brand and its offerings, they also become more likely to buy from you in the future because they don't feel like just another anonymous face among millions on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter (or even Pinterest).
Instagram is a visual platform, and people like to see what they're buying. If you can show them how your product works or where it comes from, that will build trust in your brand.
As you can see, there are many reasons to have more followers. Having a large following will help your business grow and make it easier for you to reach new customers.
