Instagram has built-in tools that make it easier than ever to turn your followers into a thriving, engaged community 🔥
Here are 5 Instagram Story features to work into your social media content strategy:
1️⃣ Polls – Encourage your followers to engage with simple, low-commitment polls. Great for sparking conversations and getting quick feedback. Try asking what products they’d like to see restocked or which new designs they’re excited about!
2️⃣ Questions – Build a two-way connection by inviting questions. Perfect for sharing your expertise, answering FAQs, or getting to know what your audience wants more of. For example, run a ‘Ask Us Anything’ about your latest product launch or a ‘Meet the Founder’ Q&A.
3️⃣ Links – Got a new product drop or a blog post? Use the link feature to drive followers directly to it. Consider linking to a blog post or landing page that adds more value, like styling tips or a guide to your products.
4️⃣ Music – Don’t underestimate the vibe factor! Adding music makes your Stories more fun, engaging, and memorable. Match the song to your brand’s vibe or create mini “soundtrack moments” around each new collection.
5️⃣ Add Yours – This one’s gold for building community. Prompt followers to share how they use your product or their unique takes on your brand’s lifestyle. “Show us your ” or “Where do you take your [brand name] gear?” can inspire them to get involved and share their own Stories.
✨ Creates tip: Track your engagement rates for each type of Story feature.
Polls and Questions often get higher interaction rates, while Links help drive website traffic.
