Is Instagram Reels Worth Pursuing? Pros and Cons for Marketers |
|
Instagram Reels: The Case for Early Adoption
Instagram Reels offers a new way to share short video clips of up to 15 seconds inside the Instagram app.
With this addition, Instagram now has five content placements—posts, Stories, Live, IGTV, and Reels—which might seem like a lot of content to produce if you want to maximize on your Instagram audience. But while every Instagram account has access to Reels, this doesn’t mean you should necessarily put your time and effort into Reels right away.
If your audience is in the right demographic to know about Reels and be avid viewers, you should consider this placement to reach new audiences, particularly if video has historically performed well for you on other placements on Instagram.
