INSTAGRAM DO'S AND DONT'S 

DO 

  • Get Inspired: Check out the Instagram content and habits of similar businesses that you admire and adapt. After all, imitation is the best form of flattery! • Include your website: Make sure your business’ URL is in your profile description. This sounds basic but lots of people don't do it. 
  • Remember that everything you post reflects your business. If you post a picture with clutter or half eaten food in the background, customers see that. That’s the impression customers will get 
  • Be cute but REAL. To build on the previous point, try and keep images looking good, but also make sure they are accurate. The days of perfectly curated Instagram profiles with stock images are over. 
  • Tell it like it is. Be honest and authentic in setting expectations re: procedures, downtime, etc. If you bend the truth it will effect your business’s perceived trustworthiness. 
  • Post regularly to stay top of mind. Posting 2-5 times / week works for many • Bring on the emojis Did you know that Instagram posts that include emojis get 17% more likes and comments than posts without them? • Keep at it! Consistency is key so keep on going and don’t get discouraged. 

DON'T 

  • Over promote or be too salesy. You can talk about promotions, but make sure your Instagram is mostly made up of interesting visuals and content that people will want to engage with 
  • Use generic or stock photos. People want to see you, your procedures and your work! 
  • Post customer photos or tag patients without consent. You can even go a step further and indicate in your description that the photo or video was used with permission from the patient. 
  • Use too many hashtags. If hashtags aren’t relevant or if you don’t change it up enough, they could be read by Instagram as spam and will make your content harder to find

With over 500 million people using Instagram stories every day, this is the time to get on it and do it properly. Stories can be a lot more interactive than regular posts, and it’s always a good idea to get your followers involved. You can get engagement through quizes, emoji slider stickers and more. Our favorite story feature is polls, because you can get valuable customer feedback that's fun for everyone. Here are a few poll ideas.
