Instagram Reels and how to use them!

Instagram Reels; we feel it's a take on TikTok and is a new way to distribute content. Many business and content creators have leaped at this new feature and have seen great results from it.
 
We’ve listed a few things that we’ve learnt about reels thus far:

1. Find a music you like? You can save music to your saved music section (to use for reels) from other Instagram reels. Click on the music at the bottom of the page, and click save audio. When people click on this music (and if your profile is private), they can explore all reels using this tune.
2. You can remix reels – as long as this feature is left on, which means people can interact with you. Just click on remix reel and you can post this remix! This is a great way for business owners to further create engagement and also spread awareness of their brand or product (best part, the reel doesn’t have to have anything to do with the product at hand!).
3. Try to follow trending reels and audio as these seem to garner higher engagement and reach faster than random songs or audio.
4. You can also customize a reel that is generally used for let’s say clothing, to be used for beauty product. Just let your creativity flow and people will enjoy it!
5. Be yourself and have fun!

 
Do not take our word for everything, as the game is still new, we are basing the above pointers on our observations of using reels thus far. It is a new interesting feature, and we do urge business owners to jump on them and try them out!
