Instagram has a lot of active users (about 600+M) that would scroll through their feeds every single day. So, there is no doubt your ads might pass through a user’s feed and get interested in looking at it. Instagram advertising gives you more opportunity for your business than you think.
Easy To Create Ads
Creating an ad is very easy whether you do it right on the application or use the Facebook Ads Manager. Either way, the step into making an ad is very clear and straightforward and all that’s needed to be added is creativity.
Instagram itself already has different places to put ads in feeds, stories, or the explore tab. Because Facebook now owns Instagram, it is now easier to connect applications expanding the ad for your business.
Instagram's Updates
Over the years, Instagram has constantly updated its apps. For instance, the story features have a lot more interactive stickers- hashtags, music, quizzes, polls, etc. One of the stickers is an awareness sticker- like the Stay-at-Home sticker.
Other stickers like Support Small Business, is a very effective sticker that engages with the followers because stories of that business will appear first from other people’s stories. Quizzes, polls, and the ranking slider engages a lot with the users on Instagram.
Though they may not be interested much in your business, they would still click on the options given by you and would just tap on any of the options.
Targeting Options
We know all too well that Instagram is under Facebook. The Facebook Ads Manager helps you decide on the kinds of audiences you would like to have for your business- saved audiences, custom audiences, or a lookalike audience.
Since the two apps are connected, exploring the options of audiences is not a bad thing because online users would go back and forth to the same application installed in their phone and would spend at least 50 minutes on each app.
But, if your business just wants to reach out to your audience, Instagram ads can be specific about it. Like its location, demographics, interest, language, and so on.
Higher Engagements

To get a higher engagement for your business, it's important to have very visually engaging pictures and/or videos of your business's products. Or hashtags. Hashtags would leverage the user-generated content (UGC) and it could make something trending quickly.
