In today’s digital fast-paced world of short-form video content, Reels have emerged as one of the best tools for brands looking to grow online. Given their appealing format and broad reach, brands can leverage Instagram Reels to grow their exposure, connect with audiences, and drive conversions.
At Acuity Digital Agency, we have successfully helped brands leverage Instagram Reels to use the full potential Reels offer in their digital strategy. Keep on reading to know how can businesses leverage Instagram Reels for marketing.
1. Show Off Your Products or Services in Fun and Engaging Ways
Instagram Reels give you the option to quickly showcase what you do in a visual way! Whether you’re showcasing a product demo, displaying a service being performed, or showing a behind-the-scenes look, Reels gives your potential customers an understanding of what your value is in a few seconds.
Tip: Begin your video by making a strong hook in the first few seconds to grab attention so your followers want to continue to watch your video.
- Educate Your Audience with Quick Tips
Educational content helps build trust and positions you as an expert in your industry. In just a few quick and concise videos, you can educate your audience by sharing helpful tips, how-to guides or simply answering common questions with short videos.
Example: A salon could share a Reel “3 Ways To Make your Hair Colour Last Longer” while a finance brand could share, “Simple Budgeting Tips for Beginners”.
- Use Trending Audio and Formats
Trending audio and formats can improve your reach exponentially. However, the best way to take advantage of trends is to curate them in a manner that is consistent with your brand’s tone and purpose.
Tip: Use the trend, not literally, but as a framework to showcase your offering in a relevant way.
- Add a Human Element to Your Brand
Reels are an excellent way to make your brand feel more human. You can show your audience what happens behind the scenes, showcase team members, and demonstrate real customer stories and experiences to build further emotional connections.
Tip: “A day in the life” videos or a fun team introduction can help showcase the people behind your brand.
- Make it Discoverable
Reels have their own algorithm and explore feed. Post and tag relevant hashtags, include captions to encourage engagement, and use trending sounds to improve visibility. The most important thing is that your video is high quality, attention-holding, and holds their attention the entire time.
Tip: Post at the times your audience will be the most active as shown in your social media insights.
- Always Include CTAs
Every Reel should have a purpose! Are you trying to get them to visit your profile, check out a product, or message you directly? Whatever you want them to do, you should be upfront and tell them what the next step is.
Tip: “Follow us for more tips,” “Check the link in bio for more info,” “Send us a message to get started.”
