Also I really like the idea of using direct (private) messaging. This makes followers feel like they have a part in the company. That is very important because it makes them feel special and it helps you stand out from other companies.

Instagram users turn flash into cash, as companies eye new advertising market | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Seen through the filter of Instagram, the world is a beautiful place: high-contrast blue skies; sepia-tinted sunsets; exquisite plates of food and raindrops sliding down windows in perfect formation. It may be a manipulated perspective on life, but 200 million people across the world now use the photo app, sharing 60m pictures a day.
