A Picture’s Worth 1000 Words

As Instagram’s strength is visual content, create an ad with a strong image that is attention grabbing. Keep the text to a minimum and be playful. For example, you could reassure your new SMS subscribers that they’ll always be your top priority, and you won’t ignore their needs and interests by “ghosting”. On the contrary, you’ll be sending them weekly deals of up to 75% off! Include your shareable link in your profile bio, and make sure to mention that in your post description.
