Best Practices For Engagement With Brand Contest On Instagram

Subscription as a condition to participation
Contests should be used by brands on Instagram to generate engagement and secure more subscriptions. Contest participation should be made conditional on subscribing to the account.
Liking content or publishing content as a means of participationThe use of the ‘Instagram Direct’ functionality is not recommended as it is not popular with Instagrammers.

33 percent  and 31 percent of Instagramers surveyed feel that publishing content via an official hashtag and liking a brand’s post are the best contest participation modes (7 percent say the same of direct messages).*

Generating UGC to make campaigns go viral
Instagramers are interested in creating content, and generating UGC is the best way to take advantage of the network’s go-viral capability. Each publication created and posted to an Instagrammer’s profile is an opportunity to secure visibility for the brand.
The most effective contests are those that stir members to create specific content for the brand on their account and publish it, including the brand name (using a @ mention in the comment) and/or using a special hashtag (#CampaignHashtag).
