When you think of social media for business networking, the first platform to spring to mind in LinkedIn, however Instagram may also be advantageous. If you already has a collection of stunning product shots then you are already half way there, if not, you may want to consider paying a professional photographer to capture your products for you.

The great thing about Instagram is that it allows you to build connections with other businesses alike, and gain followers interested in your field of work. With the use of hashtags to maximise your images reach, your product will be seen, liked and commented on by new and existing customers or fellow businesses.

As Instagram is now controlled by the same people as Facebook, incorporating paid Ads to both platforms is made simple, easy and can be extremely effective in reaching new customers and generating more leads to your website. Instagram is a great platform for networking your business.
