For all these and other well known reasons, marketers should have Instagram in their plans. If you are creating a startup or just creating for the first time the Instagram profile for a business, you need to have in mind at least these 5 tips:
1.Create a great, killer, awesome Instagram profile
This is even more important for small companies and Startups. Include the elements that describes better what you are offering. Think about this area as your Elevator Speech.

2. Use Instagram Stories

Create campaigns with other complementary brands. For example, if you're a company selling watches, partner with a brand selling bracelets or rings.
