    Luc, thank you so much for all of your tutorials. We make all of our store managers watch them! One instagram strategy question:
    We have a parent company and 2 showrooms, each in a different city. Should we make Instagram accounts for each showroom, or use one parent account? Which method is more effective for building company brand as well as individual showroom brand awareness? Thank you!

      Thanks Parker. If your business operates in different parts of the world/geographical locations you may want to consider multiple Instagram accounts so you can manage your digital presence according to the audience such as running different campaigns depending on locations. Check what your competitors are doing

    Enlightening presentation that really made me think about how useful this tool can be, as a newbie. Personally, I have been reluctant to embrace social media as I generally consider it a distraction from my interests in general and wish to avoid over-loading. So I will take the time to take on board and to apply what was presented here, to get up and running in due course and to engage with people via the recommended platforms without becoming overwhelmed in the course in order to present my images and stories from my unique perspective.

    Thank you Luc. Very clear and straight to the point! I’m a newbie in IG and your videos will help me to promote my business in the best way possible! Although a quick question, I am London based but teaching online so should I still use London hashtag on the GEO TAG? Thanks! Lucia

    Excellent overview for beginners, and great tips! I like your explanation style. Thanks! However, I found that one very crucial part was missing. You show us how to create an IG business page, and you show us which hashtag range to target depending on the number of followers to have, but there’s no information on what to do right after you’ve created your page. By that I mean, how you would get to your first 100 followers, for example, or how to prepare your IG account before you start contacting influencers for marketing purposes when you’re starting your business from scratch. I searched through your other videos but couldn’t immediately find a video on this topic.

      Thanks for our comment whipy. I haven’t had a chance to cover the topics you suggested and didn’t want to overwhelm everyone with too much info. I have added your suggestions to my to do list though
