"Once I knew that 90% of bad breath came from your tongue and that using the tongue scraper could get this gunk off, I thought this was a really cool idea," Harmon says.

It’s Not Visual Social Without Instagram!

Why use Instagram?

• Shared and controlled broadcasting

• For the power of visual storytelling

• Adding behind‐the‐scenes value for followers

• Expanding scope of brand identity

• User growth – growing every day

Getting More from Instagram

Instagram Tips:• Experience Instagram as a regular user

– Get familiar with the app, and experience how its users consume content

• Tell your story– Leverage photos to tell a story 

about your design work, recent 

HVS Advertising | Marketing  /  The MarketingSavant GroupHVS Advertising | Marketing  /  The MarketingSavant Group

news, etc. with the goal of demonstrating to people how it could fit into their lives

• Expand your audience– Connect your account to your other 

social networks. This way your followers on those platforms know you’re active on Instagram, and it increases the likelihood they’ll follow you there

Getting Even More from Instagram!

Instagram Tips:• Post consistently

– Same with other social platforms, you need to post a variety of content regularly. Otherwise there’s a chance people will forget about you and/or lose interest.

• Don’t forget to #hashtag

HVS Advertising | Marketing  /  The MarketingSavant GroupHVS Advertising | Marketing  /  The MarketingSavant Group

– Similar to Twitter, you have a greater chance of connecting with Instagram users who share your interests if you place a hashtag with your photo uploads, it creates a topic item for searchable content.

• Engage with the community– In your caption ask questions, respond to questions, 

and leverage hashtags and encourage users to use them for submissions and/or at events.

Amplify EACH Post• Tweet the headline and link with some context to draw 

the most interest using StumbleUpon link shortener su.pr – this syndicates the content to StumbleUpon and Twitter and starts the traffic exposure in both places.

• Publish the post to your Facebook Page

• Pin to your Pinterest page

HVS Advertising | Marketing  /  The MarketingSavant GroupHVS Advertising | Marketing  /  The MarketingSavant Group

• Publish the post to your Google+ Stream – public, circles and extended circles

• Publish the post to our LinkedIn profile – also share with several large groups

• Bookmark the post in appropriate tags to Delicious

• If a post has drawn a large number of retweets I may post to Twitter a second time during the day – I generally make this decision and schedule the Tweet for a specific time using HootSuite’s scheduling function

“In my professional role, I’ve become very quickly reliant on Twitter and Facebook to inform me of trends and Web 2.0 tools I should be considering using with students/sharing with staff.” —Marcia Dressel, K‐5 librarian, Osceola, Wis.

2. Go Beyond “Supply Side Content”

• Understand what your audience wants in social media – talk about that

• Use the ‘sphere of interest’ to determine
