They are a great way to promote products or services and engage an audience for free, so we have compiled a\u00a0<strong>Top Tip Guide<\/strong>\u00a0for social media to help you and your business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This month it\u2019s Instagram!<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Promote with a picture! Instagram is a great way to allow users to browse through your products, it&#8217;s almost like online shopping. If you are going to post pictures of items ensure it&#8217;s clear to the user which product you are promoting at that time. Not too much clutter, plain backgrounds and good lighting are key!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Behind the scenes. People love a good nose, so whether it&#8217;s your products being shot for a catalogue, you&#8217;re getting ready for a product launch or simply some pictures of your office and employees hard at work &#8211; take some snaps of what&#8217;s going on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>How it&#8217;s made. Nowadays people love to know where their products come from, how far it&#8217;s travelled and even who it was made by. If you can, try and offer some &#8216;from start to finish&#8217; pictures that will cure the curiosity of your customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Filters, filters, filters. Obviously one of the biggest features with Instagram is its filters, but don&#8217;t get too carried away! Everyone loves a good filter but remember when promoting a product, clients and customers want to see a realistic portrayal of what you&#8217;re selling. So while every now and then it&#8217;s fine to use a filter try stick to that get that good old &#8216;hashtag nofilter&#8217;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Hashtagging! This is the best way to get your business noticed. When posting a picture be sure to add a couple of hashtags to summarise what is in the photo. This way when users search for specific things your photo will show up. Don&#8217;t get too carried away though, try limit each photo to under 5 hashtags.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people know by now that social media networks have a massive part to play in the online presence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/top-tips-guide-instagram\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":369,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-social-media","category-top-tip-guide"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":520,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364\/revisions\/520"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
