Instagram conversion captions – Quality visuals are not enough with over 25 million company accounts competing for publicity on Instagram. You’ll need convincing captions that stop scrollers in their tracks to turn users into customers and inspire them to learn more.
How to write good Instagram conversion captions for clients
1. Know the target audience
Instagram offers analytics for Business Profiles that you can use to help tailor your marketing strategy with the client. This will ensure your captions resonate with current and potential customers.
2. Study the brand voice and use a consistent tone
While the Instagram platform lends itself to a light-hearted tone, the client’s social copy should still reflect the brand’s personality. To ensure a tailored approach, without compromising authenticity, familiarize yourself with the tone of voice of your client. Remain consistent. Each caption should sound like it’s coming from the brand itself.
3. Keep post length in mind
Instagram captions can be as long as 2,200 characters. When writing for clients, however, less is enough. Instagram will shorten the text after the first 125 characters and users will have to tap more to show the full description. So, it’s best to keep a two-to-three-line copy.
4. Make sure the first sentence is attention-grabbing
A few ways to grab attention include:
- Using second-person narrative when referring to followers to personalize the interaction
- Posing a thought
- provoking question
- Triggering an emotional response through a storytelling narrative
- Adding a hard-hitting, relevant statistic
5. Include a strong Call-To-Action
Here are a few ways you can implement a strong call-to-actions (CTA):
- Encourage Comments
- Ask Followers to Tag a Friend
- Direct Users to the Bio
6. Add any branded and relevant hashtags
Unlike general descriptive hashtags, branded hashtags are unique searchable keywords directly relating to the client’s brand. It’s an essential marketing tactic to increase brand awareness, improve social listening, and easily track engagements.
