2. As content creators doubling as social media mavens here
at KaitKat, we get tons of questions about best practices
for Instagram success.
Top concerns:
(1) not having enough time to post
(2) not having enough content to post! If you are feeling the
same way, we hear you and we’re here to help!
3. As beneficial of a marketing tool that the social sphere is,
it can be challenging to consistently pump out and post
original content to engage your social community when
your corporate task list is endless. If you spend your days
ghosting your business Instagram because there are just
not enough hours in the day, let us help!
We want to share a few tips that will change your
Instagram game and will help you be strategic and efficient
with your time to make your social media work for you
instead of the other way around.
4. Let’s pause for a second. Breathe. Take a moment to
process and accept that social media takes time. Repeat
that to yourself! Social media takes time. The good news is
that it does not have to be daunting!
How, you ask?
5. 1. Curate Content
While consistency is key, quality over quantity is equally
important! Instagram is all about aesthetics which means
producing high quality content to represent your brand is a
non-negotiable. Here’s our hint for creating stellar content:
• Create categories. Think creatively about how you could
incorporate a variety of imagery into your feed--aka quotes,
graphics, product photos, stock imagery, reposts, flat lays,
videos, and more! By doing this, you won’t be favoring one
image type so your content will be more interesting and diverse.
Seeing the same thing constantly is boring, so play with your
imagery!
6. • Schedule photoshoots. Yes there is planning required, and yes it
will be SO worth it. Planning a photoshoot means designating
more of your precious time, but by doing so, you will actually
save yourself time and headaches. First, create a moodboard
board for inspiration. This could be as simple as creating a
private board on Pinterest and grabbing photos that inspire the
specific shoot concept. Next, focus on logistics such as hiring
the photographer, scouting shoot locations, and collecting props.
Then get to work! We have total faith that your end results will be
amazing curated content that totally embodies your brand!
7. • Enlist some help. Want to save a ton of time and effort and get
the best of the best content for your brand? Well here’s a bonus
tip: sometimes creating room in your budget is a game changer.
This means bring in the professionals and let them work their
magic! Trust us, here at KaitKat, we have plenty of magic to go
around and we love sharing it by offering our specialized services
of quality, stylized content that will take your social media to new
heights.

8. 2.Designate Time in Advance
We know, spare time is a scarcity in the entrepreneurial
world. The good news is it doesn’t have to be hours upon
hours of planning; strategize to designate a specific
portion of your week to all things content. The trick is to
bulk plan ahead so you don’t have to post plan the day of.
We recommend getting at least 7 days ahead with your
pre-plans so you can set to autopilot for the rest of the
week and monitor accordingly. While many other
responsibilities probably vie for your attention, our best tip
here is to get organized and prioritize some time in your
schedule to plan and develop content!
9. 3. Use the Tools
Now that we’ve shared the power of pre-planning, let us help
you use Instagram efficiently.
As both Influencers and Business Owners, we have stumbled
upon many apps that make content planning easy, like our
personal faves UNUM or Planoly.
10. These apps allow you to plan your feed (remember
aesthetics), write your content (with your brand voice), and
schedule posting times that are best for your brand.
What’s even better is that they account for crazy busy
schedules meaning that they notify you when it’s time to
post! Gone are the days of scrambling last minute to find a
picture and create a caption only to find out that it was a
bad time to post.
By managing all aspects of posting in one place, you will
really see success in your social media strategy.
11. Intrigued? Skeptical?
Well, we dare you to try it for a week! Social media is an
enormously valuable, not to mention free, marketing tool
that can be used to your advantage when approached
strategically. The goal is to minimize stress and maximize
your efforts to cultivate a loyal and engaged community of
followers. We truly believe that implementing this process
will not only contribute to your social media success, but will
also increase sales and grow your brand.
