Before you start using Instagram professionally, it is essential that your account is optimally designed. Your Instagram profile is your business card and it can generate more success and visibility for your business.
In this Spot On Class, founder and social media expert Eva Schneider introduces you to her SPRINT method. With years of experience in marketing and social media, she developed a simple, six-step method on how to set up and manage a successful Instagram channel. This makes it the perfect guideline for brands that are new to Instagram. Here’s how it works.
SPRINT method
S – Strategy
A clear strategy makes your life a lot easier: create a precise account timetable to plan your content. Content series, for example, help you save time and have a clear idea of what to post.
P – Profile
First impressions count! Your Instagram profile is your business card. Set up a custom-fit and professional profile. A lot of users will only skim your profile on the first visit. Based on your bio and impression of your feed they will follow you – or leave for good.
R – Re-Branding
Instagram is also a customer touchpoint: transfer your brand identity to your Instagram account. From your logo to colors and fonts – brand your account with your corporate identity and also adapt it to your feed, covers, and stories.
