Brand Awareness on Instagram: Reach New Audiences through Micro-Influencers

The best influencers you’re looking for are on Instagram. In fact, they are micro-influencers and they can dramatically increase awareness and sales through a strategy of authentic, personal storytelling combined with product tagging. This is the future of branding.

If you truly want to promote your brand, generating authentic conversations about your brand is one of the most efficient ways to do it.

People recommending your product to their friends, family and coworkers are the best sales force in the world. Nothing beats a happy customer who already loves your brand, so make sure they love your brand before you launch.

You need more than an influencer with a huge following. You need an influencer who can engage with your customers in a compelling and authentic way.

Micro-Influencers are not professional influencers. They are real people, passionate about their hobbies and interests, that use Instagram to share their experiences and knowledge.

If you want the entire world to know about your brand, you need to start by making it known to your end-users and to their close friends and family. And that best way is to have them talk about your brand through their authentic content. One of the easiest ways is on social media, on Instagram.

We believe that anyone can be an influencer regardless of the number of followers. Influencer marketing is about the quality, not the quantity, the right way to do this is through people’s recommendations and not through paid advertising.

Generate brand loyalty. Get more Share of Voice.

Your brand’s profile is not on Instagram to get just likes and followers, for every person that sees your customers’ posts there is a real chance for them to convert at some point.

Your Instagram micro-influencers will be more than happy to promote your product for free. They don’t have a large number of followers because they are not professional influencers, however, they have great potential of gaining a huge following in the future and becoming real influencers.

These people are perfect for promoting your product because they have a real influence on their audience and mostly, they are not related to any other organization so they are more than motivated and happy to tag you in an authentic photo or video.

Some of the benefits of Instagram Micro-Influencers:

• It creates brand-awareness by encouraging users to share a branded hashtag;

What’s the first step on this journey?

When you’re building up a new Instagram account, your bio is one of the first things your followers will interact with. If you’re just getting started on Instagram and want to build a community around your brand, then you’ll want to take the time to craft the perfect bio — one that will help users understand what you offer, why they should follow you, and how they can connect with you.

Your Instagram bio is just as important as your profile picture. You want to be able to tell your potential followers everything they need to know about your brand or business in just a few short sentences, so you need to make sure it’s attention-grabbing.

The most important thing about your content is that it’s interesting. If it’s interesting, then it’ll attract an audience. If you can find a way to be different and stand out from what everyone else is doing, then you’ll automatically be one step ahead.

To grow an audience on Instagram, you need to post regularly. Ideally, you want to post at least once a day, but more than that will give you even more reach and engagement.
