One of the most reliable ways of growing any brand is understanding your analytics. By understanding your target audience and their preferences you are able to cater to your customers, alls of which can be found via any analytics tool.
The simplest way of finding your analytics for Instagram is by converting your page to a business or creator page and using Instagram’s built in Insight tools. From here you can see what type of content is doing best, the demographic of your target audience and even find out when the best time to post.
Other analytic tools include:
– Hootsuite
– Iconosquare
– Keyhole
– Sprout Social
Mailing lists still play a powerful role in marketing yourself and your brand. By creating a mailing list you can promote your product or alert potential customers to new updates directly via email using free or paid platforms that help create highly visual emails and collect emails of those that have signed up via social media or through your website.
From experience we have found the best and most affordable option is Mailerlite. Their services allows you to create sign up forms, different target groups, striking email templates and even email automation to create email sequences or simply lessen the workload.
