Go Blog. Get Social

Flower Wall: StyleEsque

Go blog, get social. Yesterday, Confetti Events attended Go Blog Social joining forces with creative minds from across the Midwest supporting each other in the growth of our blogs, businesses, brands, and bio's.  Attending sessions on styling, instagram, and story telling we learned so much!

Styling with StyleEsque taught us no matter the subject matter: bridal jewelry, gift tables, bridal party, or the ever so lovely bride; natural light, soft embellishments, an accents in odd numbers (bracelets, flowers, or even groups of people) make the most visually interesting photos. 

How many hashtags is enough? When is the ideal time to post photos? These are questions we all have about instagram and we finally have the answers thanks to Object Enthusiast! For hashtags be sure your post, picture + caption can be seen on one screen.  Do not make your follower work for your content, engage them visually with enticing on brand photos and thoughtful words. Use 1-3 hashtags and absolutely positively no more than 5. Make your hashtags funny. Hashtags #likeforlike #tagsforlikes will not bring you on brand followers research the hashtags for your genre and use those for more thoughtful interactions. Posting at 7pm central time reaches both coast as well as international followers (it's not to late, it's not too early, it's perfect!). Think about your core group of followers, what times will they be awake scrolling through insta? An early morning coffee post is great but not if half your followers are asleep. Saturday mornings are full of farmers market, coffee and dog park post yet followers are busy posting not interacting. They're out enjoying the weekend so be weary of posting Saturday Am. Take time to see what works for your brand & your followers don't be afraid to try new things! #trythesetips #instagramsucess
