Overview:

After more than 10 years of creation, Instagram is today one of the leaders of social media. Small or big brands/companies if you have a business, you must participate in this media and have an account.

Like all the other media, you have to create some content and be present; without it, you will never reach your audience.

Initially, Instagram was a social media specialising in photo content, but over time, Instagram has diversified its content. You now have 3 types of content: posts, stories or reels. With redirect links and presentations of your different products or services, Instagram can become your catalogue. In 2021, stories generated 24.6% of Instagram’s ad revenue (eMarketer).
