Don’t underestimate the power of captions

Keep your brand consistent. Tell stories, ask questions, and close with a CTA and carefully pick a set of hashtags. This way, you’re securing sales, enticing engagement, buzz, and increasing brand awareness.
Inspire engagement
In the majority of cases, your ultimate goal for your IG jewelry store profile is boosting sales. Or it should be, at least at the top of your priorities.
To achieve this, all your actions must entice engagement. Your engagement rates will eventually increase sales. Kind of like the snowball effect – the more people interact with your content, the more people will learn about you, and the social proof will create even more opportunity. Finally, more people will decide to buy from you as a result.
Here are some of the most effective ways to increase engagement on Instagram:
- UGC – Invite your audience to create user-generated content. Create a specific branded hashtag for this campaign. This way, you’re creating a ton of buzz and promotion for free.
- Giveaways – Giveaways are still super popular and effective because they simply work. Everyone loves free stuff, and that is the oldest story in the book. You can do it directly from your account or with an influencer who can promote it further. Offer a nice prize, and instruct your audience to like, share, follow, comment, invite friends. Set the deadline and watch your engagement metrics skyrocket in a matter of days.
Promotional (live) events – Instagram Live is all rave recently, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown. Use these interactive and exciting features to showcase your products in the best way. OF course, make it completely casual and natural.
