I’ve just recently jumped head first into Instagram. My account has been up, but just not running. I’ve had trouble thinking of Instagram post ideas for my business.

As an owner of a service-based business, it can be hard when you don’t have a product to photograph.

Even worse, you may not have any staff, and it could be just you. I decided to put together a list of post ideas for Instagram to get you started.

 

Instagram post ideas

1. A quote from an expert in your industry

2. A positive client review – a review from a recent client

3. Client success story

4. An announcement – we’re booked out till November so if you want to get it done before Christmas you need to book now

5. Promote an event – either that you’re holding or one that you’re attending

6. Industry related news – an item that’s relevant that might not be well known

7. Marketing material – signage, a set of new business cards fanned out, or a box of new leaflets
