What to Expect From Instagram in 2024

In the bustling world of social media, staying atop trends and updates is crucial, especially for aesthetics providers, social media managers, and business owners. Hosts Bekah, Lauren, and Katrina of the Med Spa Marketing Group Chat dive into the ever-changing landscape of Instagram in 2024, offering insights into the platform's newest features and how to leverage them effectively.

The first major trend highlighted for 2024 is the shift towards long-form content on Instagram. Unlike the previously popular short, snappy reels, the platform is nudging users towards creating content that's at least 30 seconds long, with a current cap of 90 seconds. This move encourages providers to craft more value-driven and engaging content. For instance, discussing a specific treatment or a day in the life of a social media manager could make for compelling, longer videos.

Interestingly, Instagram is also planning to roll out a feature for replays on Reels. Unlike TikTok, where each view counts separately, Instagram currently counts multiple views by the same user as one. This change will provide a more accurate measure of engagement and help creators understand what content truly captivates their audience.

Another exciting update is the introduction of polls in comments. Already a hit in Stories, polls are now migrating to comments, promising to enhance interaction and community building within posts.

Broadcast channels, released at the end of 2023, offer a unique opportunity, particularly for providers. These channels act like exclusive updates or newsletters, building a closer community around one's content. However, they're currently unavailable for business accounts, making them a strategic tool for individual providers to connect more intimately with their audience.

The hosts also emphasize the importance of Instagram Stories. They suggest using Stories for more than just promoting grid posts. Behind-the-scenes content, get-ready-with-me sequences, and snippets of daily life add a personal touch, drawing in viewers and boosting engagement.

Finally, DM automation has taken Instagram by storm. Automated responses to specific comments not only boost engagement but also streamline the process of directing followers to desired links or resources. Tools like ManyChat facilitate this automation, allowing for customized responses and improving overall user interaction.

Throughout the podcast, Bekah, Lauren, and Katrina blend humor with expertise, making the daunting task of navigating Instagram's updates more approachable for aesthetic providers. They encourage listeners to embrace these changes, experimenting with different content types to discover what resonates best with their audience. With these insights, providers can stay ahead in the dynamic world of social media marketing.
