💡 Today’s Insight 💡

🗞 TL;DR - Instagram Notes has become increasingly popular, especially with younger audiences. If you’re unfamiliar with the tool, it’s those little bubbles above certain users’ profile pictures in your DMs. You can think of Notes like your AIM status. They’re a great tool for creators and brands to get creative – and Buffer wants to help you learn how to use it.

💡 Insight - Here are three ways Buffer suggests using Instagram Notes for brands:

  1. Point followers to your new content - This is an easy win! Add it into your post upload process to write “New post!” in your IG Notes to notify folks about your latest content.

  2. Tease a launch or announcement - Share a brief teaser in IG Notes by either using text hints or sharing a sneaky video of the news.

  3. Share exclusive content or discounts - IG Notes are only viewable by followers you follow back, so think of this like your own loyalty program. Maybe try testing a 24-hour discount code shared in your notes with your top followers.
