Now, much of marketing and advertising has moved online, specifically onto social media and certainly onto Instagram. Diverse in features and unparalleled in reach, this new medium is a goldmine for marketers when it comes to reaching their desired audience and sizing up the competition.<\/p>\n<p>As a marketer seeking to promote a brand, you will certainly come across competing brands on various social media platforms. Before deciding your own marketing strategy, looking into theirs might be useful.<\/p>\n<h2>Check Out Your Competition Before Deciding Your Instagram Marketing Strategy<\/h2>\n<h3>Know the Instagram Environment<\/h3>\n<p>Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, the main <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/social-media-content-machine\/\">social media<\/a> sites in the world, all have specific ways in which a message can be conveyed. For example, while Facebook users are more open to long texts, exhaustive posts and descriptions can push Twitter and Instagram users away. If one of your competitors has a successful method of getting traction on any one of these platforms, there is <a href=\"https:\/\/unbounce.com\/social-media\/research-your-competitors-social-media-strategy-and-then-borrow-their-best-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">no shame in copying<\/a> it to a certain degree.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Know the Method<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Irrespective of platform, each firm will use either a slogan, phrase or description accompanying its posts. For you, the timing and the language used in these posts is of the highest interest.<\/p>\n<p>In marketing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/powerful-ways-use-twitter\/\">keywords are the essence<\/a> of descriptions and slogans. By using SpyFu, you will know your competitors\u2019 most profitable keywords and ads. Other more structural features such as sentence length, vocabulary, and forms of address should also be considered. If successful, these reveal to you the behavior that companies on social media expect from your shared audience.<\/p>\n<p>If your competing firms are also sharing content other than their own and in doing so are successful, you might consider doing the same for your own brand. This will remove some of the promotional feel that a company\u2019s official social media page invariably has. Buzzsumo can be particularly useful in this respect, analyzing the type of content shared and its success. Similarly, trends can be identified by following trending hashtags across social media.<\/p>\n<p>On Instagram, the content will be pictures. However, pictures of what? The subject, focus, accompanying description, colors and other elements all have to be included in your analysis. The perfect time to post in your niche can also be discovered by following brands like Dior and Chanel who have stellar social media strategies as well as with programs such as Talkwalker, giving you an edge over competitors.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Know the Instagram Audience<\/span><\/p>\n<p>After establishing the environment and method used by the other firms in the market, you should determine the exact audience they are addressing. This is evident through the presentation of the product, and the imagery and language used when promoting it.<\/p>\n<p>By knowing the audience, you will know how to best counter and compete against other products and services with your own. Moreover, above everything else, you will intimately know what people respond to. On Instagram, you can even take the time to browse several individuals. To <a href=\"https:\/\/techexploring.com\/view-private-instagram\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">view private Instagram<\/a> accounts, you will need to follow a few steps, however. Once you\u2019ve done so, knowing your target audience, their likes and dislikes, becomes much easier.<\/p>\n<p>Rich in tools, SEO offers wide marketing analysis capabilities. By using Google Trends and Google Alerts, you will always know exactly who is talking about your products. Moreover, you will be able to compare your audience with that of your competitors or identify the shared segments. Again, brands like Dior or Chanel are very useful in this respect.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Know the Results<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There is a two-fold approach to finding out the results of a competitor\u2019s social media marketing strategy: (1) through the number of likes or shares and (2) through the profits they are making, and which they must report to official bodies such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Interconnected, these two indicators show you to what degree your competitor\u2019s online activity is financially rewarding.<\/p>\n<p>If a company has a low engagement rate, you should immediately consider their social media strategy a failure \u2013\u00a0and do something completely different. If successful, you should try to beat your rivals at their own game, taking over posting timeframes, developing your own hashtags and attracting the same audience more aggressively. As such, a quick study of your competitors can save you a lot of time and energy that would otherwise be invested in your own less successful campaign!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Put this Instagram Guide to Work!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By following this guide, you will have learned how to skillfully make use of Instagram and other social media platforms to keep an eye on your competitors. As a marketer, having a powerful grasp on the internet in general and on social media, in particular, is vital. The new mediums allow you to promote, analyze and compare at the same time, leading to ever-higher quality in your own work.<\/p>\n<div class='tm-tweet-clear'><\/div>\n<div class='tm-click-to-tweet'>\n<div class='tm-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=%23Instagram+%23Marketing+Strategy+%E2%80%93+Know+Your+Competition+by+%40dustin_k_ford+%23RocksDigital&#038;url=https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/research-competitors-instagram\/' target='_blank'>#Instagram #Marketing Strategy \u2013 Know Your Competition by @dustin_k_ford #RocksDigital<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=%23Instagram+%23Marketing+Strategy+%E2%80%93+Know+Your+Competition+by+%40dustin_k_ford+%23RocksDigital&#038;url=https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/research-competitors-instagram\/' target='_blank' class='tm-ctt-btn'>Click To Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='tm-ctt-tip'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><em>What have you learned from following your competition on Instagram?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long gone are the days in which companies measured each other solely through ad campaigns.
