2. Following
Following people on Instagram can be done in so many different ways and it really depends on each company and how they run a business.
The most common way of following people on Instagram is to follow as many people as you can in hopes they follow back. Chances are it's going to take a lot of work for little results and in the end of all that hard work you won't have quality followers that care about your business. For some people it's all about having the biggest numbers so this tactic may work for you to be as big as possible.
Another way of following people that is more strategic but comes with more discipline seems to be practiced by some of the biggest accounts on Instagram. This is done by only following people that have something to do with your business. Someone that is a business partner, sponsor, returning customer or retail store. Simply put, who you carefully choose to follow is who your associate your business with. This is our personal recommendation on how to follow people on Instagram. It's not about numbers, it's about quality.
The third most common way we've seen following tactics is not our number one choice but it works for some businesses. Following zero people. This is a way to keep everything simple on the business owners end. By following 0 people you save time by not having to decide who is worth following, who you associate your business with and who not to follow. The flip side is you can't show anyone else support by following them, it's a one sided relationship. So if you are going to be trying this tactic you will want to have an alternative plan to gain followers. We see this most with well established businesses and big non profits.
Whatever way you choose to follow people, think about it first and come up with a plan that works for you and your company.
