Using Social Media: Instagram
Use the Instagram posts below on your personal or organizational Instagram page. You can add additional hashtags that
are timely or connected directly to your community to increase the reach of your Instagram posts. For example, if your
event is at a college or university, add hashtags like #CollegeLife or #CommunityCollege. You can use more hashtags on
Instagram than on other platforms, but you should limit the hashtags to 15 for the most impact.
Visit our Social Media Guide
for more information about how to strategically use Instagram to promote your event.
