Is your brand prepared for the next wave of social media advertising? How can NJ Instagram ads help you?
Social media is everywhere. And when something affects so many lives, it affects brands and businesses as well. You can view news articles, live media coverage, and advertisements from Twitter, Facebook, and now, your Instagram timeline. Now, the Gram is debuting full-screen ads in stories. Ads will pop up either in video clips or pictures between your stories. For New Jersey companies who want to target a local audience in relevant ways, NJ Instagram ads simply cannot be ignored.
Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, knew exactly what he was doing when he bought Instagram back in 2012 for what now seems like the bargain price of $1 billion. He has turned a photo-sharing app into a video-sharing, story-sharing and advertising platform. Instagram’s parent company (Facebook) has monetized itself and impacted brands by bringing ads in front of its one billion users. Instagram is now another dominant player in social media advertising.
Remember when you started to see ads on your Facebook, and wondered how the ad of the last website you looked at was there? Or when you ordered a book online, and an ad popped up on your timeline recommending books for you from Barnes and Noble? Through the Instagram platform and NJ Instagram ads, regioinal and national brands can reach an even bigger audience.
Instagram is now selling ad space on the app for twice the price of ad space on Facebook. At the rate Instagram is growing, it seems like Instagram ads will be worth the higher price. According to Business Insider, Instagram hit 600 million highly engaged users by the end of 2016. Over 300 million use the app daily.
Is Instagram part of your brand growth strategy this year? Before you answer, take a look at the social media platform’s user base. Pew Research cites two primary user groups; 18-29 year olds (55% of users) and 30-49 year olds (28% of users). So if either or both of these groups are your target market, it’s probably time to get in the Instagram game.
