In the ever-evolving landscape of social media marketing, staying relevant and engaging with your audience is key. Among the plethora of strategies available, Instagram Reminder Ads have emerged as a powerful tool for businesses to maximize their reach and impact. Whether you're announcing an on-sale, counting down to giving days, or pushing a holiday sale, leveraging these ads can significantly enhance your event awareness and boost conversions.
How Do They Work?
Reminder ads are served as a sponsored post in the Instagram Feed and Story placements. They then allow users to opt into receiving helpful reminders for upcoming launches, events and moments that they are interested in. Once the user has opted in, they will receive push notification reminders directly from the Instagram app one day before, 15-minutes before, and at the time of the event.
The Paciolan Community has adopted Instagram Reminder Ads for an array of events over the past year. See below for some ways you can add an extra touchpoint to your fans!
