Could your Instagram be doing more to build your business? In this episode of Sola Stories, Sola’s CMO, Jennie Wolff, and Content Queen, Angela Ribbler, team up to share useful tips to help you level up your salon’s Instagram.
Tune in to learn what an effective Instagram bio and feed look like and why they are important for the health of your business. Do you need a business profile? Why should you make sure your profile is set to public? How do you capture your audience’s attention before they leave your page? We cover all of this and so much more on this must-listen episode.
Consistency is also important – having a consistent color scheme, background and posting schedule. We also share why it's important to engage with your followers and encourage interaction rather than just using your Instagram page as a megaphone.
Want more social media tips from the pros? Be sure to check out our library of on-demand Sola Sessions content, available through to the end of 202, for just $29!
