Cost-Effective Advertising

Instagram’s advertising capabilities are especially beneficial for SMEs. As of 2023, around 75% of UK marketers utilised Instagram for paid advertising campaigns. Even if your platform doesn’t have a B2C market, a presence on the platform is still beneficial for creating a image for the high profile figures in your establishment. It allows the target market to have a glimpse of who is offering the services they may enquire about.

At Active Internet Marketing (UK), we take the time to fully understand your business needs and objectives, ensuring we find the most effective solutions for your advertising strategies. Our goal is to maximise your return on investment while targeting the right demographics.

Branding and Community Building

Instagram serves as an essential tool for branding, allowing businesses to convey their unique identities through eye-catching visuals, stories, and engaging videos. Regular interactions foster a sense of community and brand loyalty among followers.
 
The platform also enables businesses to host giveaways, collaborate with influencers, and leverage user-generated content, all of which enhance brand visibility. By utilising these features, SMEs can build an engaged community that actively supports their products and services, leading to exponential organic growth.

Growing Your Audience

Despite algorithm changes affecting organic reach, Instagram still offers SMEs a significant opportunity to grow their following. As of 2023, the average engagement rate for posts from UK businesses was 1.6%, which indicates a healthy level of audience interaction. However, there’s always room for improvement.

Without a clear vision of key goals and target audiences, efforts can easily be wasted. At Active Internet Marketing (UK), we develop tailored strategies designed to yield measurable results.
