Post-Launch: 5 Ways to Promote Your Challenge on Social
Below are a few ideas for specific ways you can promote your challenge:
Create an Instagram highlight where you’ll collect all Story and Feed posts related to your challenge
Ask followers to tag you in their posts! Use Instagram Stories to share reviews and DMs from your followers who are going through your challenge as social proof. This is a great way to create a sense of community — as well as FOMO for your followers who are not participating in the challenge, which could lead to more sales if they decide to join!
Use Instagram Feed and Story posts to share inspiration and motivation to push your followers throughout the challenge
Promote the value! Create an Instagram Story video reminding followers about the value of your challenge
Note: Don’t forget to include a strong CTA at the beginning of all of your social posts about your challenge!
