2# Strengthen Customer Relationship with Engaging Content

Growing an audience takes time and effort. On social media, that involves creating a consistent schedule of relevant and engaging content for your targeted followers. If you generate useful content that appeals to them, you will find yourself converting more users into loyal brand customers. Here are some ideas of engaging content to create:

“Ask Me Anything” sessions: Let your customers ask you questions they have always wondered about your brand.

Use the “Poll” feature: Use the poll feature to check your follower's understanding of your brand and find out what they would like to see next on your posts.

3# Reach Out to A Larger Audience by Using Hashtags

Using Instagram hashtags correctly can help you reach out to a wider audience. How so? The hashtag feature has been upgraded in recent years such that users can now choose to follow hashtags instead of individual users. This means that if a user follows a particular hashtag, your hashtagged post or story can appear in their feed or stories even if they do not follow you! Using hashtags with a complimentary marketing campaign can also help generate lots of engagement from users and create plenty of useful user-generated content.
