We are VERY excited to share with you the launch of our Stories for Instagram and Facebook Training Course. Social Media Stories have become the “next big thing” in social media. Stories, as a format, began on SnapChat as a quick, in-the-moment way to share content that disappears in 24 hours. Facebook and Instagram now have Stories and as usage grows rapidly, so do the marketing opportunities. In our new Social Media Stories Marketing course, you will learn how to post Stories that drive results for your personal brand or business.
Social Media Stories are an effective way to reach a wider audience and build a more personal connection with them. Because the platform is meant for in-the-moment content, it allows brands to be more authentic and real, which builds a more human connection with their audience. Here are 3 reasons why you should consider Social Media Stories in your digital plan.
Stories is quickly becoming the primary way users share content with their friends on Facebook and Instagram. Usage is shifting to Stories on these platforms. Facebook has stated that “it looks like Stories will be a bigger medium than [news] feed has been.”
80% of Instagram users watch Stories every day.
There are over 400 million daily users of Stories.
Stories is HUGE.
Stories appear at the top of the social media feed, so they are the first thing that users see when they open their app. By using Stories, you’re increasing your visibility to your audience by appearing at the top of the feed.
3. Stories are cost-effective.
Social media Stories are meant for in-the-moment, real content, so there’s no need for fancy staging and professional equipment. And because they expire in 24 hours, it doesn’t make sense to spend too much time on something that will only be live for about a day. Stories are expected to be raw, less produced, and imperfect. For this reason, they can be produced cost-effectively and still drive big results.
