For example, you can include FAQs and Q&amp;As or even news and updates to keep followers updated. If your followers are incredibly engaged with your content, you can use a creative Instagram Story sticker to show off your products. This will engage your followers even more. Here are some examples of great highlights to include. Listed below are some ideas to get you started:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_or_Q_A\"><\/span>FAQ or Q&amp;A<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons why you should include an FAQ or Q&amp;A on your Instagram highlights. A new follower may have questions about a product or service you offer. A highlighted FAQ story can provide answers without requiring the follower to comment or send a private message. These stories can also serve as a way to get new followers or customers to follow or purchase a product or service. Listed below are some of the benefits of including FAQs or Q&amp;As on your Instagram account.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being labor-intensive, you can also use archived stories as Highlights. You can select any of the 25 Story templates. Once you&#8217;ve finished editing your Story, tap the &#8220;+&#8221; sign in your bio to access the archived version. Select the content you&#8217;d like to arrange and enter the name. The name must be less than 10 characters to be easily understood by users. After choosing the title, you can add a cover photo or icon, and then add your Highlight.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FOMO_element\"><\/span>FOMO element<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using the FOMO element on Instagram highlights can help you increase your followers&#8217; engagement with your brand. A great way to create this element is to show real people using your product. For example, the Wayfair brand asks customers to use the hashtag #wayfairathome, resulting in over 30K posts. Brands can also use product bundles to increase upsells. Creating FOMO by using the hashtag #wayfairathome can help increase your follower count, too.<\/p>\n<p>Incorporate a limited time offer. For instance, if someone is searching for headphones, they might have an idea of the type of product they want. A brand can use this fear to encourage customers to purchase similar products. This type of marketing strategy works well with limited time offers and hashtag campaigns. In addition, it can also boost engagement by incorporating a series of videos each day leading up to a new product launch. The trick is to drip feed your audience.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"News\"><\/span>News<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic prompted many businesses to add highlights. Similarly, most brands feature their special offers on social media. Although users may already be aware of these offers, highlighting them in your Instagram highlights album will help you reach a new audience and add some FOMO value to it. For example, you may want to post an announcement about a new product or service, or a recent announcement about your company.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best types of content to feature in your Instagram highlights is behind-the-scenes footage. When you are creating a new product or photoshoot ad campaign, including behind-the-scenes footage is a fun way to engage your audience. By saving BTS footage, you can extend your audience&#8217;s engagement and develop long-term viewers. In fact, you can even post it on your profile, and save it for future use!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Updates\"><\/span>Updates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many types of content you can put on your Instagram Highlights, and there are many different ways to make it engaging for your followers. In the example below, we&#8217;ll look at how you can use the &#8220;how to&#8221; guide format to your advantage. This can be useful if you&#8217;re offering a service that requires the customer to make some kind of purchase. It can also be helpful if you&#8217;re selling a product that requires a user to create some sort of process.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to decide what to put on your Highlights. It&#8217;s best to keep it under 10 characters long. When selecting your stories, you should keep in mind that the newest ones are first. Generally, upload stories in reverse order. The most recent one will be on the top of the highlights album. This makes it easy to see which stories are the most recent. If you want to showcase the most popular stories, add the most recent ones first.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Links_to_other_social_networks\"><\/span>Links to other social networks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instagram highlights are a great way to introduce what your brand has to offer. As with bios, you can include up to one link, which is usually a website. Instagram does not allow you to include more than one link in your bio, but you can use it to direct users to your business website or other social networks. To make the most of the highlights feature, be creative! Add an image to your profile or showcase a recent post that features your brand.<\/p>\n<p>Another great way to promote your brand is to share your video content to other social networks. While Pinterest is great for visual content, Twitter is more suited for newsworthy discussions and real-time updates. In either case, you can leverage your audience&#8217;s social networks by linking them to your business&#8217;s profile. Highlights on Instagram are a great way to cross-promote other social media content and give your audience the opportunity to watch a longer version of your video.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P6SqEOLppHA\" height=\"268\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Should I Put on Instagram Highlights?
