Plan Instagram Reels in facelift

As a social media expert for your company, we don't have to tell you what Instagram Reels are and what added value they create for your brand. However, the benefits that this format delivers are a very worthy one to mention once again... and of course, we didn't come across this topic completely by chance. 

Reels tell your brand story and inspire your community   

Reels provide you with a format to create short videos that help you reach your community and users who aren't yet, in an entertaining way. By the way, here you can find our new guide talking about short videos and story formats.
Unlike stories, Reels don't disappear after 24 hours, so they're great for spreading your brand message, interacting with your existing community and inspiring them. At the same time, you also reach new target groups that might be interested in your company, products and services.

Why you should go for Reels too

By creating short form versions of commercials you can also reach another target group on Instagram by using Reels and take advantage of the algortihm for your strategic brand building. It is supposed that video content is being more promoted and pushed to users by the Meta algorithm than other content types. This gives you the chance to generate more reach in a short period of time and therefore create a high value organic community a lot faster.

The biggest advantage of Instagram Reels in comparison to Stories is, that you are able to save the short form videos to your feed and provide them also to none followers longterm. Also, if you upload a Reel it is going to be shown in the explore feed to none followers with matching interests that are able to discover your profile without being directly targeted by ads.
