Advertisers are Loving Instagram

As young social media users become less active on Facebook, they are flocking to Instagram. Instagram introduce advertising on their app only a year ago and as the hottest new social media outlet, its becoming widely used by large companies with strong campaigns. These include McDonald’s, Levi’s, State Farm, General Electric, Lexus, Ben & Jerry’s, and many others. While Instagram is careful not to drive away its users with an overloaded amount of ads, they also have plans to make advertisements widely available. Instagram developers have made it easy for businesses to create promotions with them. They offer several tips and resources for interested advertisers. These include impressive ad launch results, case studies, and a gallery of creative ways to use Instagram. 




This Tuesday, Instagram just made advertising on their app even better by updating its video features. As of now, videos loop continuously until the user scrolls past it. Each video will immediately play again as soon as it ends, thus removing the users’ ability to pause.  This is a feature that was recently added to Facebook videos.
Advertisers love this feature because it better insures that users will actually watch their ads and maybe even re-watch them! As a result, agencies can rest assured that their campaign was even further ingrained into the minds of their clients’ consumers.
