Instagram Story Ideas

Are you utilising Insta Stories for your business enough? Posting on Stories can be daunting & I often get asked what the heck you are supposed to post on there. So I've shared a few ideas for your biz accounts:

⭐ Face Behind the Brand

Get personal & share your story, introduce yourself or your team. Give your followers a short video on why you launched your biz or what you love about it...

⭐ Day-to-Day

Give your followers a sneak peek into what you get up to in the day. This might be a snap of your breakfast, morning dog walks or simply spending some time with your kids. We love being nosey and seeing how 'the others' live so why not share it?

⭐ Educate

Share helpful tips & tricks on a topic you're experienced in, or are passionate about. This will enable you to grow your social authority within your field.

⭐ Run a poll or Q&A

Communication is key. Find out what your followers are thinking, either host a Q&A to respond individually or simply have a big of fun with a poll, get to know them on a personal level.

⭐ Repost. Repost. Repost

Repost what you love! If you see a post you are obsessed with, share it on your story - if you love it, your followers will too! Oh & don't be worried to share competitor posts either - this is a time for you to collaborate.

⭐ Finally, PROMOTE!

Don't miss this opportunity to promote. Stories are live for 24 hours so it's a great way to stay at the top of your followers mind and showcase your latest offers.

Tip:

Repurpose your grid content on your stories every couple of weeks to keep driving your followers to your page.
