I have a confession…I’ve been cheating on something I dearly love.
Snapchat.
I love Snapchat, those filters completely rock my socks, but I have to admit that I am kinda falling for someone or something else.
Yep, you guessed it…
Instagram Stories.
When it first came out, I was completely not in love, why couldn’t they just stay in their lane and leave the snapchatting to Snapchat?
But then I gave it a shot and I was instantly hooked. I realized I could use this tool to really connect with my audience. You know, all the people that follow my perfectly curated Instagram feed, only now I can show them snippets of my everyday life, the real behind the scenes! It was a magical moment and I want you to be using it to!
SPOILER ALERT: Keep reading to find out about my amazing INSTAGRAM CHALLENGE specifically for Wedding Industry Creatives!
Your Wedding Business Should Be Using Instagram Stories
You can deeper connect with your audience by showing them the heart behind your brand.
You can show them the your level of dedication.
You can inspire them.
You can show them that your life is real.
You can invite them into your life, and ultimately into your circle.
By showing a more realistic, day to day life , your followers can get a better understanding of who you truly are, as a person and as a wedding professional. Couples looking to book their wedding pros are looking for connections that they can relate to. Instagram Stories provides you with the perfect platform to do exactly that.

If you’re someone who has struggled with figuring out how to find the time to curate the perfect Instagram feed, then Instagram Stories should be your new best friend! This is a way to get in on the action, and connect with your client, without having to figure out which hashtags to use.
(Disclaimer: You should still TOTALLY be utilizing Instagram for your business with posting to both the feed and Instagram Stories).

Love this post! Personally I have not really tried the Instagram Stories yet, but after reading this, will definitely try to do it! Thanks for this wonderful post.
I felt the same way at first, but oh my goodness, is it awesome to share something with your whole instagram following without actually having it on your feed. 🙂
awesome!
