One of the keys when it comes to marketing in the social media sphere is to post regularly. This is going to help a business gain more Instagram with regular content. The auto post feature helps this happen.

There is also a booking feature that comes with business Instagram profiles that is not available on other profiles. Clients and customers are able to book appointments if this is relevant to the company. There is tracking and scheduling software out there that has been built to sync with Instagram. This is a helpful feature that makes this profile even more powerful. Some of the software programs that relate well to Instagram include Acuity Scheduling, Appointments by Square, Beauty Date, My Time, Schedulicity, Shore, and Style Seat. Take a look at these software programs. They might make it easier to manage schedules through Instagram.

Finally, business accounts on Instagram can also manage ads. With a business account, it is possible to advertise and promote a post from within the app itself. In order to promote an ad, simply click the promote button on the Instagram profile. This will create a promotion from the existing post. Finally, it is possible to select the end destination of the ad. The opportunities are nearly endless.
