What Makes An Impressive Instagram Bio?<\/h2>\n
Instagram is a social media platform that\u2019s all about brevity.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the place to tell your entire brand\u2019s story or share every single detail \u2013 the best Instagram bios are short.<\/p>\n
In fact, you only have 150 characters to get your point across, but it also needs to tell your audience what you do and what kind of content<\/a> they can expect to see from you.<\/p>\n Since you only have 150 characters to pack a punch, your brand\u2019s bio should be packed with details about your business, as well as keywords that will help people find you when they search for related terms.<\/p>\n However, even with so many details, make sure simplicity is your first priority.<\/p>\n Here are some ways to really use your Instagram bio:<\/p>\n Now that you know what types of Instagram bios you can create, let\u2019s see them in action.<\/p>\n We all know the tagline, \u201cAmerica runs on Dunkin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n Dunkin\u2019<\/a> impressed us with their simple and sweet Instagram bio that stays true to their branding: \u201cIG runs on Dunkin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n IG is short for Instagram. Plus, they added two emojis: A coffee and a donut, so that everyone knows what they offer without having to read extra words.<\/p>\n We love how this bio is short, clear, and filled with their brand\u2019s personality.<\/p>\n Create your own<\/strong>: Think of your tagline.<\/p>\n How can you transform it to work as your Instagram bio?<\/p>\n Be sure to add at least two emojis that can communicate what your brand does.<\/p>\n We really love Headspace\u2019s<\/a> bio because it\u2019s so clear what they do and what type of content you can expect from them.<\/p>\n While it\u2019s simple, it\u2019s still professional with a helpful tone.<\/p>\n This bio entices users and leaves them hungry for more content from their brand \u2013 who doesn\u2019t want to be healthy and happy?<\/p>\n Create your own<\/strong>: Write two short, simple sentences that clearly communicate what your brand does.<\/p>\n Make them as easy as possible to read and understand.<\/p>\n Einstein Bros Bagels<\/a> has a great Instagram bio as well.<\/p>\n It\u2019s simple, yet it\u2019s still clear what they offer.<\/p>\n The fact that their bagels are fresh-baked is very important to their brand, and we love how they included it in their Instagram bio.<\/p>\n This bio also has a really great call-to-action (CTA)<\/a> which invites people to look at their menu and order online.<\/p>\n A CTA is important because it drives traffic.<\/p>\n If you want your customers to take action, you have to make it easy for them.<\/p>\n Create your own<\/strong>: Write one sentence that describes what you do. Then, include a CTA and a link in your bio.<\/p>\n Unlike the others on this list, Tasty Tie<\/a> does two things differently:<\/p>\n The term \u201cwe follow back\u201d really only works if you do, in fact, have the capacity to follow everyone back.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a good thing because it shows that you aren\u2019t here to worry about how many people you\u2019re following vs. following you \u2013 you are interested in creating connections and building a community that isn\u2019t one-sided.<\/p>\n On the flip side, you may get a lot of \u201cfake\u201d followers who don\u2019t belong in your community, but rather, they just want the follow from you.<\/p>\n In this case, it\u2019s up to the social media manager to continue to unfollow those who unfollow you (which likely happens when someone just shows up for the follow).<\/p>\n If you can manage these \u201cfake\u201d follows, the \u201cwe follow back\u201d is a good way to hook a visitor who is considering following!<\/p>\n Create your own<\/strong>: Can your value-props be easily written out in a list format with the corresponding emojis?<\/p>\n Think about the few things that make your business unique and go from there.<\/p>\n This is probably the easiest Instagram bio to create and still find success!<\/p>\n The best brands are defined by their values.<\/p>\n\n
