Read on to learn more about the best uses of Instagram for B2B companies.

  1. Communicating Company Culture

Some B2B companies make the mistake of assuming that Instagram should be used solely for marketing purposes, but when followers are constantly bombarded by business related posts, they tend to lose interest. By using Instagram to communicate the culture of the company and provide insight into what happens behind closed doors, a B2B company can communicate their culture and develop a closer connection with their audience.

  1. Showing Off Employees

Using Instagram as a vehicle for showing off their dedication and grit will increase the rate of employee engagement and lead to far greater empowerment. If every employee knows that their hard work can potentially be appreciated on a public platform, their motivation levels rise accordingly. After all, everyone enjoys acknowledgement for a job well done.

  1. Demonstrating The Usage of Products

Letting people know what takes place behind the scenes is important, but if you are trying to sell goods and services, using Instagram to post short clips of your products in action can certainly spark increased interest in your company. By sharing clips and photos of your products, you can entice the audience to make a purchase, without explicitly advertising to them.

  1. Sharing Important News

Let’s face it, no one is waking up to the newspaper anymore and studies have shown that more and more people are relying on social media for their news. How many times have you seen a so-called “news story” that relied on a person’s Instagram or Twitter feed for their perspective on the topic? Thanks to Instagram, a B2B company has the chance to seize control of their narrative and let people know about their new products and innovations, without the use of a press release.

  1. Hashtags

While no one likes an Instagram user who puts five or even ten hashtags in each post, those who use hashtags in a judicious manner are able to get the most out of them. If you have an event coming up and you would like to get the word out, you can create one simple hashtag that allows your company to engage in an ongoing conversation with all of your attendees. Hashtags can also be used as a means of making your company more easily searchable, as well.
