5 New Things To Know About Instagram in 2015

Turning your business into a customer magnet gets easier as the powerful visual content creation app “Instagram” renews itself. Review the following roundup of new developments that shall help you in devising a new-fangled strategy for Instagram marketing.


1.   Since its inception Instagram, a powerful visual content-based social network, only allowed square-format content. But now they’ve brought in a significant change on this front and allowing users to upload photos and video captured in landscape and portrait formats. Moreover, all the Instagram filters can now be used on both photos and videos.

2.   Carousel Ads is the new ad offering by Instagram.  Introduced in the beginning of 2015 ‘carousel ads’ are quite beneficial from marketing and advertising perspective as these enable advertisers to upload up to 4 images for one ad, which users can flick through to see more related content.

3.   Reports by Statista reveal that while their revenues were only 600 million in 2015, Instagram's global advertising revenues are expected to steer to over 2.8 billion dollars by 2017. Now you can easily make out the potential of Instagram and their marketing reach in the future.

4.   User generated content (UGC) is quite worthy on Instagram. When brands use it, they earn consumer trust and up their conversion rates by up to 6.4 percent in categories such as apparel.  Yet only 18 percent of the 250 brands features UGC from Instagram onto an off-site gallery and only 9 percent place UGC directly on product pages. We recommend that you use UGC on Instagram and improve your conversion rates.
