Week 7 Part B: How Other Businesses Use Instagram

    I think it is really cool how my other classmates are using Instagram. The Protein for Pets page was really cool and I like how they posted pictures and descriptions of their products. I have a dog so it really caught my attention and I am definitely going to visit them in person soon and get my dog some beef bones! The playground podcast page is cool because they do not offer a physical product but they are promoting themselves through their Instagram page which many pod-casters do today. Encinitas donuts is another awesome page I like how they put up pictures of their donuts and they put up the times when they are open on their posts. I will add that to my own business page because it will make it easy for my followers and clients to follow me. The one page that I follow is called Gaby's funnel cakes and they sell funnel cakes and agua frescas. The one thing that I like that they do is post pictures of their customers buying from their stand. They also post the pictures they are tagged in on their video reel. I will definitely take that from them and add it to my own page. I also noticed that a lot of pages with a product post videos of their customers either using their tools or eating their food. I think this really captures the moment and gets more people to want to try to buy your stuff. The protein for pets page posts videos of dogs eating their food, I think this is great to convince people to buy from them. I like how all these pages are different but they all have the same goal. It is also cool because they are local spots we can check out.
