3 Tips on how to market your Cannabis Instagram page

Are you involved in the Cannabis Industry? If so, you are probably curious as to the best ways to get more followers who are also interested in the cannabis space. As a cannabis consumer, it is important to network with like-minded individuals. That way, you will have targeted traffic to your page and you can turn your followers into potential purchasers of your products. Follow these 3 easy tips to get ahead of the game and take you Instagram to the next level!

1. Content is King

Staging your Instagram profile is very important. You want to make it seem to your followers that your page is a journey and every post plays a roll in it. If you are posting bud shots of flowering herbs, then your content should strictly stay in that genre. Things like pictures of your bird or food you are eating are not relevant to your cannabis minded followers so that type of content should be avoided. It is ok to have a personal account where you post that type of content and everything that comes to mind, but you should keep your cannabis Instagram strictly to cannabis subjects

2 Use the right hashtags

Hashtags are one of the most underrated Instagram marketing tools. If you choose the right hashtags, that increases your chances of being featured for the hashtag of your choice which means that your photo will pop up when someone searches for that hashtag on Instagram. To do this, you want to find some smaller hashtags that still have good search volume. For example, #cannabis has 17.2 million users. Your chances of being featured for this hashtag are slim. However, it is a popular hashtag so it’s a good idea to include it with your post. Instagram gives you 30 hashtags you can post along with your photo. We recommend posting 15 industry broad hashtags and 15 that are more specific. You have a better chance at being permanently featured for the specific hashtags. For example, #cannabisdaily has 307k users. If you have great photos of cannabis flowers then you have a good chance to be featured for this keyword.
