Just recently I uploaded a video specifically talking about the many benefits to Instagram and why business owners should be out there creating pages for their businesses and staying active on the Instagram community. In that video a few numbers got thrown around, such as “68% of Instagram users interact with brands while on Instagram“. Well earlier this week Instagram released a much better, bigger, number.

Instagram now has 400 million active monthly users – and if that’s not yet another reason why you’re brand should be on Instagram – I don’t know what else to tell you.

We are thrilled to announce that the Instagram community has grown to more than 400 million strong. While milestones like this are important, what really excites us is the way that visual communication makes the world feel a little bit smaller to every one of us.

Over just 5 years Instagram has grown immensely in popularity – and chances are that the majority of your customers are on there. So why aren’t you taking advantage of that? If you need help creating your Instagram account check out my tutorial video here. If you have an Instagram page already and are feeling overwhelmed with trying to come up with new content to post – you’re probably not making use of user generated content – and luckily I have a video for that also!
