4. Unlike other social networks, there
isn't a platform for creating an
account for your business. So you
need to start by downloading the
app to your smartphone to get
started.
A picture is worth a
thousand words, and
Instagram is a platform
that makes the saying
more true than ever.

6. The idea behind social media is to allow your
business to tell a story, to connect with consumers
in a way that is not possible with traditional media.
Instagram is no different, give your company an
edge by sharing:
• Your product in action
