Instagram and Its Success

Facts You Need to Know

Experts say that Instagram is the king of social engagement due to the high percentage of people using it. The degree of participation in many communities and different societies is above others. However, in the year 2017, top brands’ engagement rates fell dramatically.

As a result, experts conducted various studies. There were evaluations in more than 3 million user interactions with more than 2,500 brand posts on seven social networks. The purpose is to find out the market trend and why this social networking site loses its stronghold in different brand engagements.

Finally, the result shows that most of people don’t engage with branded social content very often.

Furthermore, experts need to conduct more studies for a more comprehensive analysis. On six of the seven social networks, the brands we studied achieved an engagement rate of less than 0.1%.

For every 1 million Facebook fans those brands had collected, each of their posts received only about 700 likes, comments, and shares. On Twitter, the ratio was about 300 interactions per 1 million followers. 

Beating the Record Them All

A History in Social Networking Apps

Instagram leads again. Studies show that top brands’ Instagram posts generated a per-follower engagement rate of 4.21%. That means Instagram delivered these brands 58 times more engagement per follower than Facebook and 120 times more engagement per follower than Twitter. 

 

Red Bull posted a video of Neymar Jr. on both Facebook and Instagram. A few days later, we noted that the brand’s 48 million Facebook fans had liked the video just 4,500 times (a 0.009% likes-per-fan rate).

 

while its 7.6 million Instagram followers had liked the video more than 54,000 times (a 0.7% likes-per-follower rate).
