Boosting Engagement with Instagram Stories
Stories keep your brand top-of-mind for current followers. Using interactive stickers encourages viewers to participate rather than tap away.
1. Use Polls & Quiz Stickers on Slide 1
Place an easy-to-answer binary poll on your first story of the day. High initial taps boost overall story completion rates.
2. Take Viewers Behind the Scenes
Share raw, unedited glimpses of daily routines or upcoming project teasers to build personal trust with your community.
3. Ask Open-Ended Questions
Use the Question sticker to collect audience feedback, recommendations, or common questions, then share responses on subsequent slides.
4. Always Include DM Triggers
Prompt users to DM you a specific keyword to get a link or free resource. Direct messages strongly signal high account affinity to the algorithm.
