4 growth tactics to use in your next Instagram marketing campaign

Having doubled its user base to 700 million in just two years, Instagram is on its way to join the billion-user club alongside Facebook, Messenger, and WhatsApp. The social media giant isn’t simply a must for companies and individuals trying to get online exposure; it’s the cornerstone of everything visual that your business has to offer to the eyes of both existing and potential customers.

That being said, there is also a flip side to think about: Over 70% of Instagram posts don’t get seen by users. Think about all the hard work you put into your marketing efforts, which can simply get lost in the bottomless ocean of daily posts. It’s a bummer, but why does this happen?
