Instagram Advertising Facts and Figures

Here a few key takeaways from this infographic to consider as you strive to build a better social media marketing strategy: 

68% of Instagram users engage with brands regularly. That is more than double the user engagement level on Facebook.

Brands on Instagram reach 100% of their followers per post. Growing your following is encouraged and will boost your marketing efforts. This isn't the case on Facebook, where only 6% of brand followers can see what they post.

Instagram followers are worth more, plain and simple. They have an average order value of $65, which is $10 more than Facebook. It's a great platform to market your products and boost sales!
