Once you have a “must-follow” Instagram page, you’ll want to promote it. Include icons on all online communications so community members can easily follow your account. Hashtags will help users find your content; best practice is to use at least one but no more than five hashtags. And, incentivize people to join and engage by providing random draws for engagement. Magnetic photo frames and Hashtag Stress Relievers imprinted with your logo and account name make nice prizes. Remember, Instagram isn’t just for sharing selfies—it can be a great way for government agencies to connect with, engage and inform the community it serves. How will you use Instagram in your agency?
