Let’s get into it, here are five ways to up your Instagram carousel game.
1. Opt for a trusty photo dump!
Ahh, the classic ‘photo dump’ has taken the Instagram world by storm in the past year, and to be honest with you…we bloody love it! Photo dumps allow you to post a selection of gallery-style images. These images can be completely unrelated - and you can add up to 10 images at a time. You could use a photo dump to show a workplace ‘behind the scenes’ to give your audience a deeper insight into what life’s like at your biz.
2. Show a grand reveal with a transformation post
Everybody loves a good before and after! No matter what line of work you’re in, whether it’s beauty, interiors, design or construction - you have the opportunity to showcase a real good glow-up! If you’ve got a product, you can show how to use it. Get creative and show your audience what you’re all about!
3. Showcase customer reviews
Customer reviews are a powerful way to showcase your brand’s reputation. People want to purchase from brands that they can trust. By posting your glowing reviews, you show potential customers that you're the real deal.
4. Use a bold Canva template
Jump on Canva and use one of their trusty templates! There are thousands of funky templates to choose from on Canva, many of these are free to use and can easily be edited with your brand colours and logos. If you can’t find one you like and really want to make an impact - maybe it’s time to invest in hiring a freelance graphic designer to create some editable Canva carousel templates for you.
