Collab feature
Instagram’s Collab feature is an absolute game-changer for collaborations with other brands. It works by creating a singular post between both brands, meaning engagement and analytics are shared between the two. Think of it as working ‘smarter not harder'; it’s a fantastic way to get your product or service in front of a new audience, as well as leveraging engagement from your collaborator (particularly if you have a smaller audience).
Consider trying this on your next project (or use it as inspiration to seek out your very first collaboration).
Link stickers
If you haven’t spotted it already, you can now link out to posts in your Instagram stories! Like most marketers, you’re likely focused on building your Instagram presence to 10k to unlock the ‘swipe up’ feature, and know just how limiting it can be for engagement and sales if you haven’t yet reached that milestone. This new update means you can now take your Instagram Stories to the next level, and provide even more touchpoints in your audience journey. Get linking!
'Add Yours' sticker
This sticker is a great way to encourage interaction from your audience. Essentially, you prompt your audience to share a desired image with you, allowing you the ability to view all of their stories where the sticker is featured. It’s a new way to authentically connect even further with your audience.
