Remember, the filter you choose must match your brand. For example, if you&#8217;re a children&#8217;s clothing brand, you can go for a joyful pink, but if you&#8217;re a tattoo shop, you&#8217;d better choose dark themes.<\/p>\n<p>The possibilities are endless, from vintage granular photography effects to a warm and summery golden tint.

Assuming you don\u2019t already have a brand, you can start building one right now. Start writing down a few keywords to shape your brand\u2019s personality. This could really help you define the kind of persona you want to convey out to people. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask yourself these questions: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What would my brand look like as a person? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the personality of my brand?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Am I bringing something unique and original to the market? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are my brand\u2019s values? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do I have a mission statement? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is my brand\u2019s voice?

Find a unique concept. Position your brand. Define your niche. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great brands have always had extensive research and long brainstorming sessions behind them. That\u2019s how they\u2019ve spotted the opportunity, the niche, that group of people that could potentially resonate with their brand\u2019s story and buy their products. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s what you have to do as well, in your small scale marketing laboratory: define your niche, find a unique positioning, and come up with an original concept. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46987 size-full\" title=\"instagram feed goals\" src=\"https:\/\/newblog.creatopy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/netflix-e1525787733777.png\" alt=\"Instagram feed goals\" width=\"700\" height=\"449\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>B. Offer an emotional experience to your visitors.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram is all about visuals, but it\u2019s also about emotions. Visuals and emotions are interconnected. We are all driven by emotions, whether we admit it or not, and Instagram is the place where we look for inspiration, role models, and connection with others. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, keep this in mind when setting up your Instagram style. Remember emotions can be triggered by visual stimuli such as faces, aspirational symbols (fashion items, cars, jewelry, buildings), colors, and design. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer an emotional experience to your visitors every time they land on your Instagram feed. Create a positive vibe with the help of colors and convey your heart\u2019s enthusiasm using personal and catchy little captions. Whoop it up all over the place! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47034 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/newblog.creatopy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/laura-sykora-1-e1525859262209.png\" alt=\"instagram feed inspiration \" width=\"700\" height=\"879\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>C. Create a unique brand atmosphere.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I cannot stress enough the importance of emotions on Instagram. Talking about feeling, we must fully understand what triggers people\u2019s reactions and what causes them to have positive emotions or feelings of aversion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, we are drawn to brightness (Sun), openness (smiles), and joy (colors). Conversely, we feel a sense of aversion towards darkness (night), closure (sad faces), and sorrow (grey, black and white). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes up to 3 seconds for someone who lands on your feed to decide if they like the page or if they dislike it. That\u2019s why we should think of the Instagram feed as a whole. We should think of it as a brand\u2019s visual universe, a unique world with a unique atmosphere. Here we invite people to immerse themselves in our world and get a taste of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A brand\u2019s atmosphere is made up of small details like faces, products, pictures, colors, patterns, compositions, filters, design, and so on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So let\u2019s talk about these tiny details that play a huge role in reaching that long craved &#8220;feed goals&#8221; title for your Instagram business account. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47035 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/newblog.creatopy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/starbucks-e1525859423559.png\" alt=\"instagram feed goals brands - starbucks\" width=\"700\" height=\"891\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>D.

Not everyone is willing to scroll down the feed. Most people believe that \u201cwhat they see is what they get\u201d. In other words: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Top 9 posts are representative of your Instagram feed flow as a whole. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, you have to pick each and every post carefully, reflect on how your posts go with each other, and always check your first 9 posts to see what they look like. If you think you\u2019re being too subjective about this topic, ask your friends for feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Plan your feed using one of these apps. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GZHQcyY3DKU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unum <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is probably the best Instagram planning app. A real game-changer.

Telling the story of the photo is as important as getting the photo up on Instagram. So, here are my 5 tips for writing catchy and engaging captions for your audience:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Be authentic. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share true stories from your life. Keep this principle in mind first when writing the texts and the engagement second. Engagement will come. Remember, the most successful people in the world have always been true to themselves: Oprah, Steve Jobs, or Elizabeth Gilbert. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Be personal. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share your thoughts, visions, and dreams. Someone will fall in love with your universe.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Create your own writing style.<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let your personality shine through your words.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Be positive.<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People come to Instagram for inspiration and for a positive experience, so leave your grudge and criticism elsewhere.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Inspire.<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share your journey with others whether that may be a fitness boot camp, enrolling in a weight-loss program, or joining a yoga retreat. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"f\"><\/a>Instagram feed goals tip #6: #Hashtags<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And last, but not least, hashtags.
