3 Ways Your Business can Boost Engagement using Instagram Reels
Grow Your Influence on the Social Platform by using Reels Regularly


Along similar lines, a “day in the life” Reel is an excellent way to give customers an inside look into your company’s work culture, highlight the efforts of your team members, and can also be helpful in demonstrating how a product fits into a customer’s daily routine.
The best part is that as it’s just a 15-30 second clip, you don’t have to plan out a long video. This type of content makes your audience empathize with your business and thus, helps you form a more “human” connection with your brand. Not to mention it’s a great way to evince your authenticity, and simultaneously get people excited about your products.
2. Show Your Audience Quick How-To’s
Your audience doesn’t just want product promotions shoved at their faces, they want to know your brand and its community. One way is to be helpful and show them you genuinely want to help them out. That is, give customers a quick step-by-step guide on how to do something awesome with your product. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be related to your business, either. In the cafe example above, you can demonstrate a quick-and-easy way to make delicious coffee at home.
Tackle potential questions ahead of time with FAQ-style reels. Share little bits of advice, but valuable information that helps your audience in buying decisions. Oh, and don't forget to add a touch of humor. Use the Q&A sticker in your Instagram Stories to gather questions, then answer them in Reels. Encourage feedback in the Reels comments and ask your followers what they’d like to see next. In doing all this, your brand proves that it knows its stuff.
If your customers know they can rely on you for great how-to content, they’re more likely to follow your page and check back for more insights.

3. Make It Fun and Personal
Last but not least, make sure to leverage the true essence of reels — which is to engage with your audience in a fun and personal way.
This is the place to ditch the formal talk and form personal connections with your audience. For instance, share your CEO’s morning rituals, or vlogs from that conference your team is attending, or the daily bloopers your audience can resonate with.
Don’t be afraid to jump on a trending meme or video style that aligns with your brand. You could even try creating your own trend or challenge and ask your followers to join in (don’t forget to create a unique branded hashtag). You form strong audience relations only by being a bit vulnerable. So be REAL with your REELS.
Instagram’s rendition of TikTok provides a solid way for businesses to share tips, educate, entertain, inspire, and authentically engage with their audiences. With Instagram Reels, you can develop a stronger connection with your followers and improve your brand’s visibility.
And you don’t have to be a big-name brand with thousands of followers to go viral — which makes it all the more worth a shot.
So it’s time to use the tips outlined above to work reels into your overall marketing strategy.
