Can A Company Use Instagram To Share Their Story and Build Their Business?

Instagram is a photo sharing service available as an easy to download application for any Android or iOS powered device. The photos captured can be shared on Facebook, Twitter and even Tumblr too. It is time for businesses to understand that this social sharing platform is here to stay. So how can a business use Instagram to share their story?

Build an Identity
Start snapping photos of your business. Once you’re ready to post your first image, you’ll be able to add a location if it is not already listed.

Try uploading photos of interesting aspects of the store or products, or share images of things the people who shop your business care about. You’ll be amazed at the response when you start sharing your perspective. Visuals speak louder than words.

Use Hashtags to Build a Following
What’s the point of taking a great photograph if no one will notice it? Celebrate your active brand advocates by deciding on a short, easy to type phrase that people can include in their tweets. For example Adidas used the hashtag “#thereturn” to celebrate the return of Derrick Rose. They even made it a predominate design element on their website for D Rose.

With the use of these hashtags you can monitor conversations focused around your brand by using the Twitter search feed or directly displaying these photos using the Instagram API on your website. Make sure to include any legal terms and conditions related to the use of the publically shared content. In the footer of their website, Adidas informed people: * If you send us a Tweet, or use our hashtag “#TheReturn” on Twitter and Instagram, you consent to letting adidas and Derrick Rose use your content and handle, in any media. If you opt in to our Facebook application All In For D Rose by adidas you also consent to letting adidas use your customized Facebook image in any media. Fan based media can be shared cross-platform allowing you to successfully use Instagram for marketing and to increase brand loyalty through the instant gratification of social likes.

Find Your Advocates
Snap a photo using Instagram and then select that you’d like to add a Photo Map. You’ll be prompted to “name a place”. This is where you’ll see a list of available locations based on your GPS location. Once you find your business, select it as the location and then upload your photo. Once uploaded you’ll be able to click on the location as a hyperlink and browse the gallery of photos other people have tagged for that same location.

Find anything interesting? Follow that individual and you’re on your way to building your community.

Boise: A Great Place to Grab a Beer

Boise has been recognized by many publications as a great place to live and work, and now it has another accolade to add to its resume. Livability.com, which features America’s best places to live and visit, puts Boise – the home of The Sundance Company – as one of the top 10 beer cities.

What could be better than taking in the view of the Rocky Mountains while sipping on a fresh brewed beer? If your answer is “not much” then head to Boise, where there are five breweries offering dozens of different craft beers. It’s a hidden beer lovers paradise. You’ll find:

Sockeye Grill & Brewery has six signature brews and a variety of seasonal specialty beers including the Dagger Falls IPA, which picked up silver medals at the 2003 and 2008 North American Brewers Festivals. Customers can pick up kegs or just drop in and let the bartenders do the heavy lifting.

For a monstrously hoppy beer try the Hopzilla from Table Rock Brew Pub, which offers more than nine handcrafted selections and a laid back atmosphere. It’s a big place with a bar, spacious dining room and patio.

The Ram Restaurant and Brewery serves up Big Horn brews such as Total Disorder Porter, which picked up a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival. In the mix of their six craft beers and in the running for best named beer is the Buttface Amber Ale. The Ram lets you support the sport of curling by donating a portion of the proceeds for every signature taste curler that is purchased. The curler gives you six 3-ounce glasses of Big Horn beer.

The newest breweries on the block in Boise are Payette Brewing Company and Highlands Hollow Brewhouse.

Mobile Usage in Commercial Real Estate Up 61%

Technology in the commercial real estate sector moves at a far different pace than residential real estate, because the type of consumer is far different, and far fewer, and the professional needs of industry insiders are typically met by older software that may not be sexy and may be clunky, but transferring to another system is often regarded as a waste of time for a fast paced industry.

That said, devices in the pockets of professionals and consumers have evolved dramatically, and mobile use is on the rise, up 61 percent in 2012 compared to 2011, according to inMotion Real Estate’s recent report which also forecast that mobile use will double by 2016.

The report notes a 225 percent increase of mobile visits as a percent of total website visits in 2012 compared to 2011, marking a rise not only in smart device ownership, but in mobile usage in the commercial real estate industry.

The top five mobile brands in the commercial real estate industry are Apple, followed by HTC, Samsung, Motorola, and RIM (Blackberry). The most commonly used devices were the iPhone, iPad, Sony Ericsson LT 15i Xperia Arc, HTC EVO 4G, and lastly, the Motorola Droid X.

Interestingly, the rise of tablets are also forecast to be a substantial part of the commercial real estate industry, which makes perfect sense as professionals often spend a considerable amount of time in the field.

Apps and technology are in the process of catching up with mobile devices, and we suspect that the devices are what will help professionals to make the transition from older tools to the newer, slicker, more time-saving apps of today. Having watched the rise of tech tools for residential real estate professionals who tend to be faster to adopt, it is foreseeable that an app and tech tool surge is on its way.
