Three Instagram Tags to Use for Your Business

Here's three tags (besides hashtags!) you can utilize for your business on Instagram.

Hashtags are my fave but there are other tags you can use on Instagram to reach more people, gain followers and grow your sales.

The tags are:

📍 Location Tags

🧡 Account Tags

👗 Product Tags

I explain how you can utilize all three below.

📍 Location Tags - Locations are displayed at the top of every post once they’re published, right underneath the username.

These tags are searchable like hashtags. Make sure you tag your location!

In order to find products or services close-by, many people search for local businesses on Instagram.

How to add a location:

• Above your photo or video, tap (iPhone) or (Android).

• Tap Edit.

• Tap Add Location and enter the location.

• Tap Done (iPhone) or (Android).

🧡 Tag other accounts - Build your community by tagging other accounts.

If someone posts about your business and you share their photo to your feed - tag them.

If you are posting a story about a customer or another brand - tag them!

They will see your mention and could possibly return the favor. You will reach their followers if they mention you.

Sharing photos about you by others (User Generated Content) and tagging them gives you authenticity because you are sharing others endorsing your product or brand.

Using your fave local brand/biz? Post and tag them to build your community and support other local businesses.

How to tag another account/ person on Instagram:

1. As you’re uploading a photo, tap the “Tag People” button.

2. Tap on the person or object in the photo you want to tag.

3. Type in the username and it should appear from a drop-down menu. Click it.

4. Tap “Done.”

👗 Product Tags - You can highlight your product in the posts, stories, or live feature and helps in captivating your shoppers’ interest within your product.

Instagram added native payment options, so users don’t even have to leave the app to complete their purchases. This one-stop shopping on Instagram can improve sales and makes it more convenient for users to purchase products directly on the app.

To tag products within an Instagram post, start by uploading a photo as you normally would and follow the below instructions before posting:

1. Tap “Add Photo”

2. Add a caption.

3. Tap on “Tag Products”

4. Tap on photo.
