Photos on Instagram are no longer only selfies or adorable babies, or special moments captured at fancy places. This app has quickly gained an increased presence in online marketing, as more and more users are jumping on the photo sharing bandwagon.
Though the platform was not originally meant for marketing, it has proven to be a significant tool in creating followers and customers to increase brand awareness and loyalty.
Having already figured out how to promote their events on other sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, event marketers are now adopting Instagram. Event attendees also share photos of their experience at the event as it fosters conversation among them. One of the best features of Instagram is that you are allowed to tag your photos using relevant hashtags which makes it easier for you to collect all the images from your event, see what photos from your event are being shared by others, and also leads people to you, if they are looking for your work.

Because of this, you can encourage your attendees to share their photos by providing them with a specific event hashtag.

When you share behind-the-scenes photos – of your team hard at work, the set up, and other aspects of event planning, your brand feels more authentic as you are making yourself vulnerable to your target market by establishing an emotional connect.
