How businesses use Instagram stories

5+ Ways To Use Instagram Stories To Grow Your Business

Most of the businesses on Instagram are using Instagram Stories to grow their brands and those who aren’t are planning to do so in 2018. The scramble for the use of this feature can be explained away by stats.

More than 300 million people use Stories daily and over a third of them view them every day. Moreover, 20% of Stories posted by businesses lead to direct interaction with the user. Hence, ignoring the importance of this marketing tool would be at your own peril.

So, how can you effectively use it? Many of the businesses illustrated in the infographic have attained success by taking their followers behind the scenes to see how they come up with certain products and given demonstrations on how to use their products.

Others have run campaigns to increase brand awareness and reach a new audience, as well as hosted influencers on their profiles to increase sales.

Reebok creates ads that use the so called “fear of missing out (FOMO)” to get its followers to buy products, while Nordstrom Rack uses professional photos on Instagram Stories to show its customers how the clothes actually look in action.

For more on how to use Instagram Stories to grow your business, check out the infographic given below.
