Instagram stories are a quick and fun way to engage with your followers. Like Snapchat, the stories only last for 24 hours and come with a wide range of features.
The beauty of an Instagram story is that you don’t need to spend very long crafting them and they create a ton of engagement.
How to create an Instagram story:
- Click on the camera icon in the top left or the '+' on your profile picture.
- Tap the white circle in the middle to take a picture, hold it for a video, or tap the gallery icon in the left corner (or just swipe up) to use existing media on your phone.
- Edit your photo or video using Instagram's various editing options.
- Tap the "Your Story" button to post to your public Story, "Send to" to send it privately to your followers via a Direct Message, or "Save" to download it to your phone for later.
Why not create an Instagram story using a quick video of how lovely your store is looking today to entice potential customers in or even a video of new stock? Get creative and showcase your business!
