Create reels to showcase your products or passions.
Reels are a powerful way to raise brand awareness and attract new customers or followers. They’re also excellent for re-engaging people who have already shown interest in your brand.
Creating a reel is simple. Start by opening Reels and recording a short vertical video or uploading photos and videos from your camera roll. Make sure to hook your audience in the first three seconds by adding music or effects. Write an engaging caption, and just like that, you’ve created your first reel.
Find inspiration.
When you’re just getting started, you’ll likely hear the term “brand awareness.” Simply put, brand awareness is about how well people recognize you or your product. Reels are a powerful tool for building brand awareness because even if someone doesn’t follow you, they can still discover your content through their feed, the Explore tab, or the Reels tab. The more reels you create, the more opportunities you have for new people to find you and connect with your brand.
The key is to create content that resonates with your audience while showing off your brand’s personality. Take a simple idea and enhance it with Reels tools—like trending audio or effects—to grab attention. For inspiration, browse the Reels Explore tab to see what others in your niche are doing. Staying on top of trends can help you participate in current conversations and engage with the community.
Record or import.
You can create reels in two main ways: by recording directly within the app or by importing videos from your camera roll. Here’s how to get started:
To record a clip in the app, first decide how long you want your reel to be. Tap the button to choose your desired length. Once selected, you can start recording by tapping and holding the button. When you’re ready to stop, simply release it. You’ll see a color bar moving around the circle, indicating how much time you have left for your reel.
To record additional clips, just tap and hold the button again and release when you’re done. This allows you to create multi-clip videos. You can keep recording until you reach your chosen time limit.
You can also import content from your camera roll by tapping here and selecting the images or videos you want to include in your reel. If you have multiple images, you can turn them into a slideshow. Add music and stickers, and you’ve got yourself a creative reel.
Try experimenting with both recording in-app and importing content to see what works best for your style.
Add audio.
Adding audio to your reels is a great way to capture attention and boost visibility. To add music, go to the Reels recording screen and tap the audio icon. You’ll find a variety of songs categorized for easy browsing. Once you’ve picked a song, you can choose which part of the track you want to use. The app may suggest specific segments, or you can manually adjust the slider to select your preferred part of the song.
Using trending audio can also help increase your reel’s reach. To discover trending audio, swipe through the Explore page and check out the most frequently played tracks. If you find audio you like on another reel, you can save it for your own use. Simply tap the name of the audio to use it now or save it for later. Your saved audio will appear in the audio tool when you return to create your next reel.
You can also search hashtags to see what audio is being used by others. For example, if you search #art and tap on the Reels tab, you’ll see reels that use that hashtag and can check out the audio they’re using. You can even follow hashtags to see related posts in your feed.
For even more insights, Instagram releases a monthly trend report at creators.instagram.com/blog, which highlights new and trending audio and offers pro tips for editing.
Save and share.
Ready to share your reel? If you’re not quite there yet, don’t worry! You can always save your reel as a draft and come back to it later. After recording, simply tap through to the preview page and hit the “Save as Draft” button.
To edit a draft, go to your Instagram profile, tap the reel icon, then select “Drafts” to choose the reel you want to edit. Once you’re happy with your reel, it’s time to share it. Don’t forget to add a caption! A good caption should include a call to action (CTA) to encourage engagement. For example, I wrote, “New pieces in the shop – take a look at them” to encourage people to visit my shop. Your CTA can be anything from “comment below” to “follow me for more.” If you plan to run an ad, a strong CTA in the caption is key.
Key takeaways.
You can use Reels to help more people discover your professional or personal brand.
- Record a new video in-app or import photos and videos from your camera roll.
- Add trending songs to your reels to boost views.
- Write a compelling call to action in the caption to drive engagement.
- Share your reel on both Facebook and Instagram to maximize your reach.
These steps will help you create content that attracts more attention and expands your audience.
Show off your creative process or product with Reels.
Reels can help you inspire people and encourage them to engage with your brand. One way to do this is to make a how-to video about your product or a reel about your creative process.
Before you start recording, plan out what story you want to tell and what shots you plan to take. After you’ve recorded, you’ll want to trim your clips down to make sure that they fit together seamlessly, then get creative with Reels editing tools such as text and stickers. Finish off by adding a caption that works with your content, plus two or three hashtags to improve your reach.
1.Keep people engaged.
Keep both new and existing followers engaged by sharing content that tells a story. Show the process behind your brand, such as how you create your products or how to use them. This not only keeps your audience interested but also makes your brand more memorable and relatable. Sharing the “behind-the-scenes” can help deepen the connection with your audience.
2.Make a plan.
