Keep your brand voice consistent – Your posts and captions should mirror your brand personality. A good way to connect with your audience is to keep the captions casual and posts more personable. Tip – You can dictate your caption into your phone or read it aloud to check if it sounds like how you would naturally speak.

Talk the language of Emojis - Colourful emojis always capture the attention of a scroller. You can use them at the beginning or the end of the post or even replace a whole word with an emoji.

Hashtags are synonyms with discoverability – Hashtags are a great way to organize your content. This will help Instagram pull up your post for a relevant search. Here are few pointers on using hashtags for captions –
