1) Wrap the ads around your all-over marketing strategy
Like any other form of digital and social advertising, Instagram ads must not be created pointlessly. The ads must follow the brand strategy of the company as well as the marketing strategy.

Hashtags are the keyword phrases typed after the sign # which makes users classify content as per their interests. What you must know is hashtags aren’t just meant for twitter. Even the Instagram advertisers can use hashtags to make their own content appear when certain things are searched. Tapping on the hashtag will bring the users to a lineup which shows all pictures tagged with the same hashtag. Hence, you must decide where your image must show up.
4) The social media statistics
Many social network sites offer data on posts which perform great for you, and they also provide you the times and days when the posts garnered highest clicks, views or shares. Make use of this data to construct a proper ad campaign around times and days when people may respond the most.
5) Run a test
Just like other social media campaigns, a lot can be learnt from testing your campaign. Once a benchmark ad is established, run your ads against that threshold to verify the results. Check if the response rate is higher.
