With the ability to sell products directly to your consumers, as well as a variety of different ways to showcase your content, Instagram has a number of options to display your products and services to match your business.

Instagram strategy

The key to a strong Instagram strategy is a relentless focus on your audience and engagement. Ascensor are experts at finding ways to grow your reach so that your content gets seen by as many people as possible. We'll help you understand the algorithm and factor all of the required elements into your strategy, defining your demographic and establishing your target audience.

Instagram training

We understand that a monthly marketing retainer may be out of reach for many small businesses and start-ups. If this sounds like your business, we have an option to help you! Our team of experts offer Instagram training to help you set up and manage your account. If you have the time to manage your Instagram but just need some initial technical assistance, our Instagram training is perfect for you!

Instagram management

We understand that in many cases there just isn’t enough time in the day to post on social media as well as run your business. That’s the primary reason that so many of our clients use Ascensor to fully manage their social media and leave their profiles in our expert hands. We take the stress and time from you so you can focus on what you need to whilst we optimise and manage your account.

Instagram content

The most vital part of Instagram is the content that you post. We will help you not only decide on the best type of content to publish, but also help to design and create it with our talented design team. Whether it’s an infographic or a video introducing your business, our experts are available to guide you with the best content for your business and for your audience. Even if your business doesn’t have any existing assets for us to use, we can create stunning content for your brand with just your logo

Instagram engagement

Engagement is so important on any platform, but Instagram is by far the most important. Engaging with your audience will help to improve your brand image but also helps to increase your reach and potentially grow your audience to a wider demographic. If you’re struggling to get engagement on your posts, you can try and style your content to drive comments, likes, and shares with tailored posts such as competitions and testimonials. Another excellent way to gain traction is by engaging with local brands and accounts in your audience to secure more brand visibility.

Influencer marketing

As experts in the digital marketing world, we have strong connections with a community of leading influencers across the region. If your business could benefit from influencer marketing, our team know the right Instagram personalities who could increase your reach thanks to their audience of thousands of followers. Get in touch with the team today to discuss influencer marketing in your sector further.

Audience insights

We’re a data-driven agency, we love Insights! We use Insights to help get a greater understanding of how your content is performing, as well as how your audience is engaging. By using Insights, we can feed this data into your strategy and create content that we know your audience is going to love and likely engage with! Insights also provides us with the tools required to provide an accurate forecast of results you should expect to see over the coming months.

Monthly reporting

We ensure there’s consistent communication between you and our client services team, so that you always know what our team are working on every week. As well as weekly updates from your account manager, you’ll also receive a report at the beginning of every month compiled by the full team working on your account. This report will be created in Data Studio and will include statistics relating to your marketing services, as well as return on investment and website traffic.

It includes each of our digital marketing services to find ways in various channels can work in synergy to provide you with greater growth at a quicker rate.

The level and extensive nature of Ascensor’s expertise is exactly what Sustrans required during the project, and we were not let down at all, the collaborative approach meant that not only did we achieve completion within an aggressive timeframe, but we were left with significantly greater insight and capability to manage our website performance moving forward. A great example of joined up, unified working across both our organisations, very much looking forward to working alongside Ascensor again in the future.

Not many businesses in today’s world have this level of duty of care, so thank you.

What is Instagram marketing?

Instagram marketing uses posts, Stories, Reels, direct engagement, creators and paid advertising to reach and influence an audience. It can support awareness, community building, product discovery and sales when content and measurement align with a clear business goal. At Ascensor, our Instagram service can include strategy, training, management, content, engagement, influencer support, audience insight and reporting.

What type of content works best on Instagram?

The best format depends on the audience and message. Reels can support discovery, carousels can explain ideas, Stories can prompt immediate interaction and strong photography can showcase products. Consistent usefulness and recognisable creative matter more than following every trend. At Ascensor, we select Reels, carousels, Stories, photography and other formats according to the client's audience and the purpose of the content.

How often should a business post on Instagram?

A business should choose a schedule it can maintain without reducing quality. Frequency can be adjusted using reach, engagement, website activity and production capacity. A consistent plan with active community management is usually more sustainable than short bursts of posting. At Ascensor, we build a sustainable content plan around available creative, approval times and the level of community engagement required.

Can Instagram generate leads and sales?

Yes, when content reaches the right audience and provides a clear route to enquire or buy. Product links, paid campaigns, profile links, direct messages and retargeting can support conversion. Tracking should connect platform activity with website and sales data where possible. At Ascensor, we can connect organic content, influencer activity and paid campaigns with appropriate website or ecommerce conversion routes.

Do hashtags still matter on Instagram?

Relevant hashtags can provide context and support discovery, but they are only one signal. Clear captions, content quality, audience response, keywords and consistent subject matter also help Instagram understand and distribute content. Hashtags should be specific and genuinely relevant. At Ascensor, we use relevant captions, topics and platform signals together instead of relying on a large block of generic hashtags.

How do you measure Instagram marketing?

Measures can include reach among the target audience, saves, shares, meaningful comments, profile actions, website visits, enquiries and sales. The most useful measures depend on whether the objective is awareness, engagement, lead generation or ecommerce. At Ascensor, our reporting focuses on the measures linked to the agreed goal, from target-audience reach to website actions and sales.
