Captions for your Business’s Instagram account need to be out of the ordinary. While it can take under 5 minutes to select and edit a photo, it can feel like forever to create a caption worthy of being published on the Gram.

Forget everything you think you know about caption copy, and check out these 6 examples that will change your life for the better.

1. The Call-To-Action

They say that your engagement stats on Social Media are King, and they’re right for a reason. Engagement is a way for your followers to show that they’re active and responsive to your brand.

The best way to invite engagement is to charm your followers with a call-to-action. Tease your followers with a ‘what do you think we’re launching next’, or encourage them to tag their friends.

2. The Mood Maker

The best way to influence your audience is by changing their mood, whether they laugh out loud, or feel warm on the inside.

Write like you’re speaking aloud to a friend, and add an emoji or hashtag as the icing on top. A mood-invoking image helps too.

There are hundreds of variations of the same product on the internet, but only 1 or 2 that stand out.

Of course, it helps to have a cohesive marketing strategy across all aspects of Instagram, including influencer campaigns.

6. The Educator

As part of your marketing strategy, it’s only natural that you want to educate your followers on topics in your niche.

Translate your tips into plain English, and talk to your audience, not at them. Jargon is the ultimate deterrent.
