How to make a business strategy story on Instagram?

In today's article, I'm going to be sharing

the daily Instagram checklist for small

business owners that will help you

increase brand awareness and also get

you more sales so if you're currently

using Instagram as a way to promote your

small business and you're not seeing

results you want to make sure to watch

this article all the way to the end

because I'm going to give you some

actionable tips

that you could start

taking as of today to turn things around

the first tip I have for you is to

engage with 10 new ideal customerS

accounts every single day

when it comes to getting more sales from

your small business you need to be

creative and find new ways to reach

potential buyers and one great way to do

this is by engaging with a new group of

ideal customers on a regular basis I do

this every single day and it shouldn't

take you longer than 10 minutes all you

need to do is find your ideal customer

find a post that they just posted or a

the video that they shared and just leave a

genuine comment, most likely this person

will revisit your profile when they see

the comment and they'll give you a

follow and that automatically gives you

brand visibility and a potential new

lead

the next tip I have for you is to show

your community some love there's no

doubt that social media is a powerful

tool for growing your business, but what

about using social media to grow your

community

showing your community some Love can,

help you connect with new members and

keep current members engaged I think one

of the biggest mistake many smalls

business owners do include myself in

the past

are we're so focused on the next customer

or the next follower or the next

a subscriber that we forget about the

people that we currently have, so it's

really important that you take every

single day, whether it's just five

minutes a day to engage with your

community to ask questions to like their

posts to share their posts to leave

genuine comments if somebody leaves a

comment on one of your posts that you

respond back as well

so show your community some love the

next tip I have for you is to encourage

your followers to follow your brand

hashtag

now hashtags can be a great way to

connect with other users on social media

and promote your brand so when creating

a hashtag for your brand be sure to

encourage your followers to use it so

here are five easy ways to just do that

the first one is to include the hashtag in

your profile name or bio

the second way is to use the hashtag in all

of your posts

the third way is to create exclusive

content that can only be accessed by

using the hashtag, the fourth is run

contests or giveaways that require the

use of the hashtag and the fifth are to add

the hashtag as a footer on all of your

social media images it's that simple

the next tip I have for you is to share

social proof on stories

now when it comes to marketing your

products and services social proof is

one of the most powerful tools in your

tool kit so by sharing credible

testimonials and stories from happy

customers you could help build trust and

confidence in what you have to offer and

when potential buyers see that others

have had a positive experience with your

company the more likely to consider

doing business with you as well

so how can you make the most of social

proof when it comes to your small

business and I'm going to give you some

examples um to help you out the first

one is to share customer stories on your

the shop's about me page the second one is

add a customer quotes to your listings

the third one is you can use case

studies or client stories on your

website or blog if you have one and the

The fourth one shared positive reviews on

social media

the next tip is dm five lukewarm leads

So do you ever feel like your sales?

The effort is a little too cold maybe

you're targeting people who aren't

interested in what you're selling

or you're not resonating with them on a

the personal level now social media can be a

great way to warm up leads and increase

sales and what I recommend is making

sure to dm five lukewarm leads on a

consistent basis to help you increase

your sales

so for those of you that are like what

is a lukewarm lead is someone that

showed a lot of interest in your

products or services right in the

beginning but for whatever reason they

kind of fizzled off, they were the first

one's like yeah when you have that course

I'm going to join or when you add the

the new product I'm going to buy it but then

when you created the product for some

the reason they didn't follow through with

it those are lukewarm leads so what you

want to do is don't forget about them

you know, just message them and just keep

that conversation going to help you

increase the potential of them going

ahead and proceeding with the sale

another tip is to introduce the maker who

you are

what you make and why they should buy

from you, so if you are currently the

maker the person who

crafts things with their own two hands

it's really important that you show a

a bit of yourself to your audience

doing this, it's going to really help

you build rapport with them

again let them know who you are

what you make right show them

why they should buy from you what makes

you special now share your story your

process and your passion when people

could see that you care and thought went

into your work, they'll be more likely to

invest in it, so tell them what makes you

special and why they should buy from you

another way that you could connect with

your audience is taught something

valuable

most small business owners will agree

that one of the main keys to success is

staying ahead of the competition and in

order to do that, you need to be

innovating and constantly learning so

one great way to do both of those things

is to teach something valuable on social

media but imparting your knowledge and

helping people learn new things you

become

known as an expert within your field and

that can help you grow your business

overall

so there you have it, seven strategies

that you could start implementing daily

to see exponential growth on Instagram

and start turning followers into actual

leads
