Different Formats Invite Creativity

Effective Instagram marketing is all about combining beautiful visuals with your brand’s message. The six formats of Instagram ads allow you to experiment to see which format creates the most interest in your brand’s products and services.  

Stories Ads allow advertisers to combine videos with text to create interactive ads that respond to the user’s commands. When created by a skilled digital marketing agency, they can be addictive and captivating. 

Image Ads are basic and clean static ads that use a square or landscape format template which a graphic designer uses as a canvas. 

With Video Ads, your brand can produce up to 120-second ads that can target your audience with movement and animation. These ads are ideal for products that need to be demonstrated to attract buyers. With Video Ads, you can tell a complete story with your two minutes.

Carousel Ads work well for multiple products or a marketing strategy that depends on acquainting the user with a brand’s complete line of products.  

Collection Ads offer both video and images. You could have a short video introducing your brand’s product line and then follow it by showing still images of the various product details. 

“Discover” Ads are used in Instagram marketing to expand the reach of targeted ads. The “Discover” section of the platform is where people go to find new subjects and experiences. By presenting your products and service as something new and exciting, you reach new audiences that are then directed to your website. 

Work with an Experience Instagram Marketing Agency

To get the most out of all six formats, it’s always good to partner with a digital marketing agency experienced in Instagram marketing and advertising. They’re the experts in using the market data supplied by Facebook. They can help you create ads that make an impact on your desired audience, as well as your bottom line right from the start. They’ll help you create a winning marketing strategy and stretch your marketing budget to make your ads as effective as possible.
