It is no doubt that online users are more interactive and hungry for visual information, images, and illustration and they enjoy them more than written post or article. Even team photos or a cat sitting on the sofa inside your office will generate high interaction.

Survived Stories

Either on Facebook or Instagram, stories used to disappear after 24h. However, on Instagram, your stories can remain as long as you want under the highlights that you labeled.

These highlights can help you to keep information that you want your audience who missed them to be updated. Especially for shops that make discounts and sales on their product for particular periods of time.

“Live” is another News tool 

We noticed during the Covid-19, many celebrities went live on Instagram to keep in touch with their fans. Run discussion panel with them in order to alleviate the depression of the quarantine, social distance, and isolation.
