  2. Social Media Hot topic survey • 1. While not surprising that Facebook is being used most frequently, by 98% of respondents, it was a little surprising that 87% are also using at least one of other platform. • 2. Instagram is being used by more practices than Twitter (65% vs 57%, respectively). This is especially surprising given Instagram being so new. • 3. With the amount of time spent, and what appears to be a focus on social media use by practices, they don't seem to be dedicating financial resources to their efforts. RealSelf is the exception, but 90% of practices are spending less than $500 a month on the other platforms. About 60% of RealSelf users spend less than $500 a month. • 4. Measuring and evaluating success of campaigns was a bit mixed, but there's always an area of opportunity for practices to better track patient referrals, spend, ROI, etc.

  4. Agenda What Why How

  5. What is Instagram? Instagram is an online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing, and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures and videos, and share them either publicly or privately on the app, as well as through a variety of other social networking platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Flickr.

  6. “What” you should know • Social Media “light” • Pictures and Videos only • Videos just increase to 60 seconds (previously 15) • Recently released “Instagram Stories” feature • Other “fun” apps/features like Boomerang • Only clickable link is in bio • 2200 characters (roughly 400 words) in description • Data suggest fewer words is better • Hashtags # • The new magazines of the younger demographic • Instagram Insights (analytics) • Impressions, Reach, Website Clicks, Follower Activity • Iconosquare, Simply Measured, Sprout Social • Instagram’s new feed algorithm (Ads)

  7. Why? We love taking photos. We always assumed taking interesting photos required a big bulky camera and a couple years of art school. But as mobile phone cameras got better and better, we decided to challenge that assumption. We created Instagram to solve three simple problems: • Mobile photos always come out looking mediocre. Our awesome looking filters transform your photos into professional-looking snapshots. • Sharing on multiple platforms is a pain - we help you take a picture once, then share it (instantly) on multiple services. • Most uploading experiences are clumsy and take forever - we've optimized the experience to be fast and efficient.

  8. “Why” Everyone Cares • Just crossed the 500 million user mark - Instagram • Instagram’s user base is growing far faster than social network usage in general in the U.S. Instagram will grow 15.1% this year, compared to just 3.1% growth for the social network sector as a whole – emarketer.com • 28% of adult internet users used Instagram in 2015, up from 26% in September 2014 – Pew Research Center • 55% of young adults (ages 18–29) used Instagram in 2015, compared with 37% who did so in 2013 – Pew Research Center • Engagement rate • Facebook is below 1% • Instagram was as high as 4% (2014) but that has dropped significantly recently

  13. Business Profiles • “Contact” button next to the follow button • “Location” tag will be displayed underneath the current website link • open up a map showing the business location and enable users to get directions from their current location • Insights • Ads functionality

  14. Posting Strategies • Frequency • The most common posting frequency for brands on Instagram is 11–20 times per month, with almost one-third of companies measured falling into that bucket (source: simplymeasured.com “Top 100 Brands”) • In a study of 55 brands, the brands posted an average of 1.5 times per day (source: unionmetrics.com) • By late 2014, 73% of brands were posting at least one photo or video per week, a 35% increase from 2012 (source: simplymeasured.com “Top 100 Brands”)

  15. Posting Strategies • Time • The best times to post on Instagram are Mondays and Thursdays at any time except between 3:00–4:00 p.m. in your target audience's time zone. - Sproutsocial

  16. Posting Strategies • Content • On Instagram, photos showing faces get 38% more Likes than photos not showing faces - Georgia Tech and Yahoo Labs • In a study of 8 million Instagram images, images with a single dominant color generate 17% more Likes than images with multiple dominant colors – Sproutsocial.com • On Instagram, images with a high amount of negative space generate 29% more Likes than those with minimal negative space – Sproutsocial.com • On Instagram, images featuring blue as the dominant color generate 24% more Likes than images that are predominantly red. – Sproutsocial.com

  17. Posting Strategies Visual Eye Candy Shopifyreleased an infographic on the importance of color in marketing, and the research showed 93% of buyers cited “visual appearance” as the main reason for their purchasing decisions. To add to it, nearly 85% of buyers said color was the main reason for purchasing a specific product.

  18. Posting Strategies • Text • There’s little correlation between caption text length and engagement rate on Instagram - Simplymeasured.com • Posts tagged with a location see 79% higher engagement than posts not tagged with a location - Simplymeasured.com • 50% of Text on Instagram Contains Emojis - Sproutsocial.com • The red heart is the most frequently shared emoji on Instagram, which is shared 79% more than the next most popular symbol, a smiling face with heart eyes - Curalate.com

  19. Posting Strategies Hashtags # WTF? Most social media marketers will recommend using a max of two hashtags per post. When you start to hashtag every word in your caption, your post can seem like spam. - Sproutsocial.com In a study of 100 top brands, the brands' Instagram captions averaged 2.5 hashtags per post – Simplymeasured.com In one study, posts with 11 or more hashtags received nearly 80% interaction, compared to just 22% when using ten and 41% when using two. – QuickSprout.com

  20. Hashtags Best Practice • #Hastags • Do be specific when using hashtags • Do cater hashtags to the social network you are using • Do come up with relevant, unbranded hashtags • Don’t go too long or too clever • Don’t have more hashtags than words • Don’t hashtag everything
