Brands aiming to connect with their ideal customers is the everyday routine through Content Marketing & Story Telling on their feed. Of importance is consistentcy to allow follower growth and engagment. Your Instagram feed is like a customer walking into a physical shop or a display booth. Make it a worthwhile experience for them to consider following you because your feed appeals & adds value to them, is entertaining or educates them. On some intances an encounter with a brand doesn't always mean an instant purchase however your content would nurture them into becoming a paying client.
