The first steps to advertising on Instagram include developing a social-media marketing strategy and creating content. You plan should determine your key performance indicators (KPIs), analysis of the competition, and ways to build your social-media presence. Your ads should reflect these insights when it comes to promoting your brand, services, or products.
Once you have the foundation for your campaign set, it is time to decide how you are going to advertise on Instagram. You can do so either via Instagram Stories or Instagram feed ads. Content options include photos and videos, as well as carousels and slideshows for feed ads.
The final step is setting your target audience on Instagram. You can filter your ads so that they only display to people based on their age, sex, location, interests, language, or other factors. You will also want to set up a budget and schedule whether to roll out your ads on a daily, monthly, or indefinite basis.
All ads for the Instagram platform are placed via the Facebook advertising platform.
