A Comprehensive Guide to Advertising on Instagram in 2023

July 18, 20232 min read

Instagram has become a key player in social media marketing with more than 1 billion active monthly users. Instagram advertising provides a great opportunity for businesses to reach out to their target audience through visually appealing content. In this blog, we will discuss how to advertise on Instagram in 2023.

Advertising on Instagram offers several advantages over paid partnerships, such as controlling where your ads appear and who sees them. Instagram ads also provide a platform where businesses can connect with engaged users without interrupting their browsing experience. The cost of advertising on Instagram varies depending on the industry, product, and ads used. Research by Revealbot states that the average cost of running Instagram ad campaigns is $8.83 CPM (cost per one thousand impressions) and $1.28 CPC (cost per click).

Businesses can choose from different types of Instagram ads such as video ads, photo ads, carousel ads, stories ads, and collection ads. Instagram videos can be 60 seconds long, whereas photo ads contain a single image. Carousel ads can include 2-10 videos and/or images that people can swipe through. Instagram Stories ads allow businesses to share self-destructing visual content, and collection ads function like video ads, appearing as a video on a user's feed.

To advertise on Instagram, businesses need to set up a company Facebook page as the budgeting, scheduling, and creation are done through Facebook Ads Manager. Here are eight steps to set up Instagram ad campaigns:

  1. Identify your target audience.

  2. Choose the campaign objective.

  3. Set up the campaign name, budget, and schedule.

  4. Create the ad set with the target audience, placements, budget, and schedule.

  5. Choose the ad format.

  6. Add visuals and ad copy.

  7. Preview the ad and submit it for review.

  8. Monitor and optimize the campaign.
