New Event Reminders comes to Instagram
Social media is always changing and evolving. For all visitor attractions, Instagram is still a prime channel to connect with your potential customers, build brand awareness, and stimulate interest.
In this blog, we’ll be covering a brand new feature on Instagram – event reminders. This is a huge boost for visitor attractions (whether you are a zoo, theme park, adventure park or children’s farm). A great marketing tool to help you better market your business.
Event Reminders on Instagram
If you use Facebook Events, you’ll be used to this functionality.
Instagram have just launched an exciting event feature to remind your followers of your attraction’s upcoming events. Anyone who sees the post, can tap on the bell icon to receive an event reminder when it goes live. They can also share the reminder to their followers.
This feature promises to be huge for visitor attractions, offering a unique opportunity to drive footfall. In beta testing, some event posts can also be boosted and we look forward to this advertising being fully rolled towards the end of 2023. Make sure you follow our LinkedIn Page to get this alert!
