Haven’t you heard? Instagram is the new big thing for business!
Instagram is up to 800 million monthly users and nearly 500 million daily active users! (statista.com). That means more people are spending time on Instagram actually being engaged. Think about it, Instagram is appealing for many reasons, but one main one includes its simplicity. The platform holds user’s attention because it is sleek and beautiful. There’s less clutter than Facebook and it keeps users engaged. There are now 25 million active business profiles on Instagram (techcrunch.com). So what are you waiting for? Get on board and join the Insta-movement!
