A great Instagram feed reinforces your brand, supports your marketing message, helps you engage directly and sincerely with your customers, and attracts new, loyal followers! Are you ready to “Level Up” your Instagram for your business?

In this workshop you’ll learn how to:

1.      Create an effective bio on your Instagram profile

2.      Develop a focused Instagram marketing strategy

3.      Use apps that save you time and improve your Instagram feed

4.      Develop the two most important habits for Instagram marketing success

5.      Navigate the ethics of reposting

6.      Use hashtags, tagging, and more to grow and engage your following

7.      Outsource effectively when it’s time to delegate your Instagram marketing

This isn't about getting a huge number of followers (though that *could* be a result of the effort you put in). Rather, it’s about making sure your *brand* is consistent, that the *message* you’re putting out there on Instagram reinforces your brand, and that the *time* you spend on social media marketing is well-used. By the time we finish you’ll have better tools for making a powerful first impression with Instagram for your business!
