Do you remember the first time you got a social media account? What did you find to be so great about it? Why did you get one in the first place?<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re like most people, it was probably so you could socialize \u2013 keep up with old friends, share pictures with distant family members, or just chat with people. Social media platforms were built on the idea that people wanted to engage with other people via the internet. So why would you want to take that person-to-person interaction out of your social page?<\/p>\n
Many social media marketers are caught up on the idea that there are only two ways to gain more following on their business pages: spend all of your time learning to be an\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0genius or buy the right tools. And thus, social media automation was born. These automation tools, or bots, like photos, follow mass amounts of people, and comment all on your behalf. You can set up the bot to target specific hashtags or users in an area, intended to boost your following with the right Instagram users. Sounds pretty genius, right?<\/p>\n Not exactly. Our\u00a0social media marketing<\/a>\u00a0team wouldn\u2019t recommend automated Insta-accounts to anyone. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n Every interaction customers have with your business holds an opportunity to make or break their trust, and with automated Instagram bots, you can lose control of your online interactions. Is falsely boosting your follower count really worth the risk? On top of that, these tools also go\u00a0against Instagram\u2019s terms of service<\/strong>, so you run the risk of having your brand\u2019s account suspended. It always pays off to be authentic and in control. You don\u2019t have to be a social media genius to get recognized online.<\/p>\n Our social media team can create marketing that matters for your brand.
