long post under the cut. i'm writing out a somewhat redacted transcript of the utter BULLSHIT i put up with yesterday

warnings for transphobia, transphobia EVERYWHERE. also, i show my arse here. i'm not a perfect person and my temper got the better of me in a BIG way.

messages in a group chat between sister, mum and me.

[screenshot of a facebook post, posted by [sister]. tagged [deadname]. post reads: I will always cherish these memories of my twin sister and I. Losing my twin sister was the worst pain imaginable, and I'm still very much grieving this. I'm working hard to rebuild a brand new relationship with a brand new person [blue love heart emoji]]

Me (7.16pm): what the fuck is this?

Me (7.19pm): I haven't died. I am still very much alive. I'd appreciate it if you didn't say you were "working hard to rebuild a brand new relationship with a brand new person" and out me to people as transgender without my permission. It shows a flagrant disregard to my privacy and safety.

Me (7.23pm): I am deeply hurt that you are sharing memories from a facebook account I no longer have access to. I'm just completely shocked that you would think this is a kind and fair thing to do to me. Take it down.

Me (7.23pm): Now.

--

Sister (9.02pm): Wtf is wrong with you

Sister (9.05pm): I've not said you've died, I've said I'll always cherish there's (sic) memories. [Deadname] is gone and is never coming back, don't be so selfish and put yourself in someone else's shoes for a change. Out you as transgender? I've not tagged Parker anywhere. You've changed yourself as male legally and have been someone else for years - it's public information

Sister (9.07pm): Look, you have all the time in the world to sit there and argue and be a snowflake

Sister (9.08pm): Fuck off, I want nothing to do with you - you completely selfish cunt

Sister (9.08pm): I just want MY [DEADNAME] back

Me (9.09pm): Are you aware that people are reacting to that post as if I have died? Interesting that you call it selfish to want a modicum of privacy and respect from you. How dare you. How very dare you. I'm aware you haven't tagged me as Parker. I'm aware that for whatever reason you refuse to see me as Parker. You'd rather make up a fuss over [Deadname] than respect me as I am and lash out when you're called out on poor behaviour. I, my personality, hasn't changed. I am still who I have always been except I now use a name, pronouns and body I am comfortable in.

Sister (9.09pm): You have changed

Sister (9.09pm): I'm allowed to grieve

Me (9.10pm): I AM STILL ALIVE

Sister (9.10pm): [Deadname] isn't

Sister (9.10pm): Doesn't exist anymore

Sister (9.11pm): I'm not "[sister's name] the youngest of 5 girls"

Me (9.11pm): YOU NEVER FUCKING WERE

Me (9.11pm): I just didn't have the language to say it!

Sister (9.11pm): It's no longer "I have a twin" "boy or girl"

Sister (9.12pm): You did for 26 years

Me (9.12pm): Are you kidding me? Is this a joke?

Sister (9.12pm): I'm allowed to grieve. I've supported you best I can why don't you try and do the same

Sister (9.13pm): I've had a rough fucking time

Sister (9.13pm): And I'm always there for you when I (sic) need me

Me (9.13pm): You made your fucking bed, now lay in it.

Sister (9.13pm): Just try to be understanding and not offensive

Me (9.13pm): Are you?

Sister (9.13pm): Okay we're done

Me (9.13pm): Are you there for me?

Sister (9.13pm): When you need money?

Sister (9.13pm): Calling you brother

Sister (9.14pm): Me and [ex-boyfriend] have split up and I'm struggling. [Deadname] would've been nice

Sister (9.14pm): You're being a twat

Sister (9.15pm): You spend too much time on the internet

Sister (9.15pm): I don't have time to waste on this

Sister (9.15pm): Dead to me

Me (9.15pm): You don't call me your brother unless you want something. I asked you to help me with Mango in an emergency that was never needed. You ask me to look after your dog when you're getting too drunk you don't even know how you got home. You broke up with [ex-boyfriend] because you couldn't cope with the guilt of emotionally cheating on him. That's on you, not me.

Sister (9.16pm): Not completely accurate

Sister (9.17pm): You're dead to me

Sister (9.18pm): Hope mum is kind enough to keep funding your mentally ill "lifestyle"

--

Sister (9.54pm): You outer (sic) yourself as transgender on my page [5 laughing emojis]

Sister (9.54pm): And turned the blame to me

Sister (9.54pm): Brilliant

Mum (9.56pm): GO WALK

--

Sister (10.04pm): [Person] sent you a screenshot of my Facebook, you accepted my friend request 2 hours ago which I sent to you months if not a year ago just to have a go at me

Sister (10.04pm): And then has been gossiping about me inaccurately

--

Me (10.25pm): I'm only going to say this once. It wasn't [Person] who sent me a screenshot and there's absolutely no way I'm going to tell you who it is. As you happily informed me, it's public information.

Sister (10.26pm): 1) absolute bullshit

Sister (10.26pm): It's her background on the screenshot

Me (10.29pm): So the reason you're angry at [Person] is because the person who sent me the screenshot uses Dark Mode...which is a function that all modern smartphones can use... Okay. I'm not going to have this conversation with you because you sound unwell. Get better, [sister].

Sister (10.30pm): I'm grieving the loss of my twin sister and I'm grieving the end of a relationship. Other than that I'm fine. I've not taken a single day off work, I run a home and business, I eat clean, train, pay my way and contribute to society

Sister (10.31pm): You're the one with every mental illness going

Sister (10.31pm): You are dead to me

Sister (10.31pm): You are done

Sister (10.32pm): I loved [Deadname] more than anything and I will cherish and share my memories

Sister (10.32pm): I hate Parker

-- --- ---- ----- ---- --- -- messages in a private chat between sister and me (note the timestamps!)

Sister (11.36pm): Goodbye

Sister (11.36pm): I've said goodbye to [Deadname] she's gone and never coming back

Sister (11.36pm): Now I'm saying goodbye to you

Sister (11.36pm): Don't every (sic) contact me again

Sister (11.36pm): Ever *

Effective strategies for small businesses to use Instagram ads.

If you're a small business owner, you’ve probably thought about using Instagram ads to grow your brand. With over a billion active users, Instagram is a goldmine for reaching potential customers. But diving into the world of Instagram ads can feel overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. Don’t worry—this guide is here to simplify it for you. We'll cover some of the best tips to help small businesses run Instagram ads successfully.

And, to make sure you're not just creating ads but building a strong foundation, we’ll touch on important factors like eCommerce website design and D2C marketing, which can elevate your ad game.

Why Instagram Ads?

First, let’s quickly address why Instagram ads are a smart choice. Instagram is a visual platform where brands can creatively showcase their products or services. The platform's ad features are flexible, letting you target specific audiences based on their interests, behaviors, and demographics. For small businesses, it’s an affordable way to compete with bigger brands and build a direct connection with customers.

1. Define Your Goals

Before jumping in, ask yourself: what do you want to achieve with Instagram ads? Are you looking to boost brand awareness, increase sales, or drive traffic to your website? Having a clear goal helps you design campaigns that work.

For example:

If your goal is to drive traffic to your website, use the "Traffic" campaign objective.

Want more sales? Opt for "Conversions" and make sure your eCommerce website design is optimized to handle the traffic.

2. Know Your Audience

Instagram ads work best when they’re tailored to your audience. Start by identifying who your customers are. What are their interests, ages, and locations? Use Instagram's audience targeting tools to narrow down your reach.

For example, if your small business sells eco-friendly products, your audience might include environmentally conscious consumers in urban areas. This clarity helps you create ads that resonate with the right people.

3. Use High-Quality Visuals

Instagram is a visual platform, so your ads need to look amazing. Even if you’re on a budget, invest in good lighting and clear images. If you’re showcasing products, highlight their best features.

For D2C brands, visuals play a huge role in successful D2C marketing strategies. Use lifestyle shots that show your products in real-world use. If you’re selling a service, infographics or behind-the-scenes clips work great too.

4. Start Small with Your Budget

One common mistake small businesses make is overspending on ads without a plan. Instead, test the waters with a small budget first. Start with $5-$10 per day and analyze the performance.

Once you figure out which type of ad works best for your audience, you can increase the budget. It’s all about testing and learning.

5. Write Captivating Ad Copy

The visuals grab attention, but your ad copy seals the deal. Keep it short, snappy, and focused on the benefit to your audience. Add a clear call-to-action (CTA) like "Shop Now," "Learn More," or "Sign Up."

For instance:

“Looking for eco-friendly home goods? Shop our collection and save 20% today!”

“Upgrade your skincare routine—click below for a free sample!”

6. Use Instagram’s Ad Formats

Instagram offers a variety of ad formats to choose from. These include:

Photo Ads: A single image with compelling copy.

Carousel Ads: Showcase multiple images or videos in one ad.

Story Ads: Full-screen, vertical ads that appear between Instagram Stories.

Reels Ads: Short, engaging video ads in the Reels section.

If you’re promoting an eCommerce website design project or a new product launch, carousel ads are great for showing off multiple features at once.

7. Leverage User-Generated Content

Nothing builds trust like seeing real people use your product. Ask happy customers to share photos or videos and use that content in your ads. Not only is it authentic, but it’s also free!

For small businesses relying on D2C marketing, this approach works wonders. It creates a sense of community and encourages more customers to share their experiences.

8. Monitor and Adjust Your Campaign

Instagram ads aren’t a set-it-and-forget-it strategy. Check your campaign performance regularly. Instagram’s ad manager gives you insights into how your ads are doing. Look at metrics like reach, engagement, clicks, and conversions.

If one ad isn’t working, tweak the visuals, adjust the targeting, or test a new format. Constant improvement is key.

9. Retarget Interested Users

Not every person who clicks on your ad will buy something on their first visit. That’s where retargeting comes in. Use Instagram’s retargeting tools to show ads to people who’ve interacted with your content or visited your website.

Pro tip: Make sure your eCommerce website design is mobile-friendly. Many Instagram users browse on their phones, and you don’t want to lose them due to a clunky website.

10. Stay Updated with Trends

Instagram is constantly evolving, so staying updated on trends is crucial. Whether it’s a new feature or a viral challenge, find creative ways to incorporate trends into your ads.

For example, if Instagram introduces a new sticker for Stories, use it in your ad campaigns to keep things fresh and relevant.

Final Thoughts

Starting Instagram ads doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. By following these tips—defining your goals, creating high-quality visuals, testing your budget, and optimizing for mobile—you can run effective ad campaigns that deliver results.

And remember, success isn’t just about the ads. Having a polished eCommerce website design and a strong D2C marketing strategy will help you turn clicks into loyal customers.

So go ahead, take the first step, and start growing your business with Instagram ads today!

israel posted a video of them giving water bottles to palestinians on a beach, then destroyed their luggage and shot at them after they stopped recording.

israel posted a photo of one of their soldiers "assisting" with an elderly man, then they shot him twice in the back and killed him.

in 2015, the idf posted pr photos of an israeli soldier giving water to an elderly palestinian woman, only for them to execute her after the photo was taken.

in 2005, an idf soldier emptied his rifle into a 13-year-old palestinian schoolgirl. he said he would have done the same thing if she was 3-years-old. he was acquitted of all charged.

israel claimed that hamas beheaded 40 israeli babies and then a month later cut off power to a palestinian hospital where premature babies were on incubators.

israel bombed a group of children collecting rainwater.

israel shot and killed two palestinian children playing with their scooter.

israel shot a hard of hearing girl in the face with a stun grenade and broke her jaw.

israel is using bombs with blades that are designed to cause maximum damage to the person in range.

israel forced medical workers at al-Nasr medical center to leave babies in incubators in order to evacuate the hospital they were bombing.

israel turned off power to hospitals in palestine, forcing nurses and doctors to use their phone flashlights when treating patients.

israel raised their flag over Al Shifa hospital.

israel has blown up the chambers of the palestinian legislative council.

israel targeted a "suspicious vehicle containing several terrorists”, meanwhile the only people in the car were three girls, ages 10, 12, and 14, their grandmother, and their mother. the only survivor was the three girls' mother.

israel planted a copy of mein kampf in a children's bedroom in a gazan house they claim hamas was hiding in.

israel poured fake blood onto the floor of an israeli child's bedroom and claimed hamas killed them.

israel was using white phosphorus on hospitals.

israel bombed a refugee camp.

israel has burned olive trees in palestine.

israel has put cement into the water supply of palestine.

israel claimed that they found tunnels under Al Shifa hospital, only for it to be exposed that those tunnels are actually in sweden.

israel built a bunker and command room under Al Shifa hospital in 1983, only for them to now say that they are hamas tunnels.

israeli police arrested an israeli high school teacher, who posted on facebook expressing sympathy with palestinian civilians who have been killed.

israeli soldiers filmed themselves throwing a stun grenade into a palestinian mosque.

we are witnessing a genocide in real time framed under the guise of stopping hamas. israel has been terrorizing palestine for as long as israel has existed, but their access to technology and social media has made it much easier to fool people into supporting them.

meanwhile, noah schnapp is posting that zionism is sexy and celebrities are standing with israel. just absolutely twisted shit.

edit: for those who would like sources, my twitter is alliiesmith. i have retweeted everything i’ve mentioned. i apologize for not providing this sooner

edit 2: i’ve had some people in the replies and reposts pointing out that linking my twitter seems like promotion. i just wanted to clear up that that was not my intention. i’ve been retweeting resources and news much faster than i’m able to add to this post, and i thought that my twitter profile could be something of a hub for information. i don’t care if you follow me, but i think scrolling through and seeing what i’ve retweeted could be helpful.

KIP'S BIG POST OF THINGS TO MAKE THE INTERNET & TECHNOLOGY SUCK A LITTLE LESS

Post last updated November 23, 2024. Will continue to update!

Here are my favorite things to use to navigate technology my own way:

A refurbished iPod loaded with Rockbox OS (Rockbox is free, iPods range in price. I linked the site I got mine from. Note that iPods get finicky about syncing and the kind of cord it has— it may still charge but might not recognize the device to sync. Getting an original Apple cord sometimes helps). Rockbox has ports for other MP3 players as well.

This Windows debloater program (there are viable alternatives out there, this one works for me). It has a powershell script that give you a little UI and buttons to press, which I appreciate, as I'm still a bit shy with tech.

Firefox with the following extensions: - Consent-O-Matic (set your responses to ALL privacy/cookie pop-ups in the extension, and it will answer all pop-ups for you. I can see reasons to not use it, but I appreciate it) - Facebook Container ("contains" Meta on Facebook and Instagram pages to keep it from tracking you or getting third party cookies, since Meta is fairly egregious about it) - Redirect Amp to HTML (AMP is designed for mobile phones, this forces pages to go to their HTML version) - A WebP/AVIF image converter - uBlock Origin and uBlacklist, with the AI blacklist loaded in to kill any generative AI results from appearing in search engines or anywhere.

Handbrake for ripping DVDs— I haven’t used this in awhile as I haven’t been making video edits. I used this back when I had a Mac OS

VLC Media Player (ol’ reliable)

Unsplash & Pexels for free-to-use images

A password manager (these often are paid. I use Dashlane. There are many options, feel free to search around and ask for recs!). There is a lot that goes into cybersecurity— find the option you feel is best for you.

Things I suggest:

Understanding Royalty Free and the Creative Commons licenses

Familiarity with boolean operators for searching

Investing in a backup drive and external drive

A few good USBs, including one that has a backup of your OS on it

Adapter cables

Avoiding Fandom “wikias” (as in the brand “Fandom”) and supporting other, fan-run or supported wikis. Consider contributing if its something you find yourself passionate or joyful about.

Finding Forums for the things you like, or creating your own*

Create an email specifically for ads/shopping— use it to receive all promotional emails to keep your inbox clean. Upkeep it.

Stop putting so much of your personal information online— be willing to separate your personal online identity from your “online identity”. You don’t owe people your name, location, pronouns, diagnoses, or any of that. It’s your choice, but be discerning in what you give and why. I recommend avoiding providing your phone number to sites as much as possible.

Be intentional

Ask questions

Talk to people

Remember that you can lurk all you want

Things that are fun to check out:

BBSes-- here's a portal to access them.

Neocities

*Forums-- find some to join, or maybe host your own? The system I was most familiar with was vbulletin.

MMM.page

Things that have worked well for me but might work for you, YMMV:

Limit your app usage time on your smartphone if you’re prone to going back to them— this is a tangible way to “practice mindfulness”, a term I find frustratingly vague ansjdbdj

Things I’m looking into:

The “Pi Hole”— a raspberry pi set up to block all ads on a specific internet connection

VPNs-- this is one that was recommended to me.

How to use computers (I mean it): Resources on how to understand your machine and what you’re doing, even if your skill and knowledge level is currently 0:

This section I'll come back an add to. I know that messing with computers can be intimidating, especially if you feel out of your depth. HTML and regedits and especially things like dualbooting or linux feel impossible. So I want to put things here that explain exactly how the internet and your computer functions, and how you can learn and work with that. Yippee!

[ms-demeanor]

making my own post because nobody needs my bullshit on their post:

OP:

Reblog 1:

Reblog 2:

My response:

The IRA blogs were here and they were active and they were quite popular; their posting patterns did not match normal tumblr users (i was followed by lagonegirl and followed back only to be put off by the account reblogging the same five or ten posts every hour for a day before selecting another five or ten posts to reblog hourly the next day - it was clear engagement bait).

Tumblr has never been as transparent about these accounts as both Twitter and Facebook were, but several of the accounts had shared names across platforms and you can find a significant amount of data that was released by both facebook (ex: ads purchased by the IRA accounts) and twitter (over three million tweets from IRA accounts). Academic researchers have published papers on the data released from facebook and twitter. Several papers. So many papers. Soooooo many papers. We have a LOT of direct evidence that you can explore for yourself that there were hundreds (possibly thousands) of IRA accounts that were created on Facebook and Twitter. Of those accounts, some shared usernames across platforms, and of those accounts, a few had tumblr accounts that posted the same content on twitter and tumblr.

To quote a buzzfeed news article from the time:

The Russian-run Tumblr accounts used the same, or very similar, usernames as the account names contained on a list of confirmed IRA accounts Twitter submitted to congressional investigators. In some cases, the Tumblr and Twitter account has the same profile image or linked to each other in their bios. Some IRA Tumblrs and Twitter accounts also cross-promoted content between platforms, further linking them together.

Current tumblr user @ alwaysbewoke (who I don't want to tag because I'm sure he's got better things to do) is interviewed in that article and talks about following one of the blogs identified by tumblr as an IRA blog that had a matching account on twitter identified as an IRA account but unfollowing when the left-leaning blog supposedly run by a black creator started rooting for trump in the election.

Dr. Jonathan Albright is heavily quoted in the article; the data review he collaborated on is one of the only reviews of this subject that includes data from Tumblr and Reddit.

One of the claims that I've seen is that tumblr just deleted funny black people, but these were blogs with thousands of followers on tumblr who never recreated, never popped up on another social media site, never started a reddit account after getting banned; nobody ever showed up saying "hey this is 4mysquad, I got banned on tumblr and twitter, follow me to pillowfort". These very popular blogs got deleted and, as far as I know, nobody ever popped up claiming to be a person who was deleted - and it's not like tumblr users haven't figured out how to evade bans.

What you are doing when you make posts saying that the IRA accounts on tumblr never existed is *absolving tumblr of guilt for their utter lack of transparency.*

Tumblr is not the only tech company that has tried to fly under the radar as its larger counterparts face regular scrutiny in Congress and in the press. Earlier this month, Reddit revealed it too had deleted hundreds of accounts with ties to the Internet Research Agency. A WIRED investigation found more than a thousand links to Russian propaganda websites are still live on Reddit, and unearthed two suspicious accounts that Reddit immediately shut down.

So should you believe what Tumblr says? No, because Tumblr has been functionally fucking silent on this issue and the information about this subject aside from the list of blogs has come from the hard work of data scientists, journalists, and researchers.

(For the record; some of those bot accounts that were recorded by Dr. Albright also had Google+ accounts in 2017 - there is every possibility that they had myspace accounts).

Now, the reason that I'm popping onto this post as an annoyed anarchist is that I was tracking a similar group of blogs for a while and was discussing them and I stopped precisely because of the galaxy-brained liberals who are now trying to dunk on communists for criticizing electoralism. One of the people who was following my project was one of the ones who started calling out the "joe biden kills dogs" posts as disinfo and I realized they were using some of the guidelines I'd written up to "identify" misinformation and that is very a rock fucking stupid approach to what was clearly a leftist making jokes and was horrified and realized there was no way that I could continue documenting what I was documenting without someone attempting to call actual leftists russian bots.

I've seen the post that OP is referencing [it's one where someone makes a very obvious joke about the democrat presidential ticket and people jump on to call them a bot and then someone tries to do the "AI tell me a story" thing and OP is just like "I don't want to :(", proving that they are in fact a person and not an AI] and have deeply enjoyed the humor of watching liberals a) not understand a very, VERY obvious joke and b) become the unwitting butt of a joke they were trying to make, but also I am so exhausted by watching normie dems call leftists AI bots after years of watching normie dems call real live actual leftists who hold actual political views that real people actually have, like prison abolition, russian bots.

But I am also so fucking tired of left conspiracism and how stupid it sounds when leftists dismiss a preponderance of evidence that is easily accessible and publicly available for analysis as "lol so you just trust everything tumblr tells you?"

No, dipshit, learn to click a fucking link or twelve.

How Instagram Story Ads Can Elevate Your Campaign to New Heights

Instagram Story Ads: Driving Engagement with Creativity

In a world where attention spans are shorter than ever, Instagram Story ads have emerged as a powerful tool for brands to capture audience attention. With over a billion active users on Instagram and the growing popularity of Stories, this ad format offers businesses a unique opportunity to deliver compelling, time-sensitive messages directly to their audience.

Whether you're looking to promote a product, increase app downloads, or boost brand awareness, Instagram Story ads can deliver impressive results. But what sets them apart from other advertising formats, and how can you leverage them effectively? Let’s dive into everything you need to know about creating high-performing Instagram Story campaigns.

Why Instagram Story Ads Are So Effective

Instagram Stories are designed for quick, immersive engagement. Unlike traditional posts, they’re full-screen and vertical, ensuring your content occupies the viewer's full attention for those crucial seconds. Here’s why they work so well:

Full-Screen Format With no distractions, your ad takes center stage, helping users focus entirely on your message. This is especially beneficial when you want to showcase high-quality visuals or emotional storytelling.

Ephemeral Nature Since Stories disappear after 24 hours, they create a sense of urgency, prompting users to act immediately.

Interactive Features Stickers, polls, and swipe-up links make Story ads interactive and engaging, encouraging users to take specific actions.

Seamless Integration Instagram Story ads blend naturally with organic Stories, making them feel less intrusive and more like native content.

Crafting the Perfect Instagram Story Ad

To create an Instagram Story ad that truly stands out, you need to focus on three core elements: design, messaging, and targeting.

1. Design with Impact

Vertical Orientation: Since Stories are consumed vertically, ensure your visuals are optimized for this format.

Bold Colors and Fonts: Use eye-catching colors and large, legible fonts to grab attention quickly.

Short and Sweet: Keep your visuals clean and your text concise. Remember, you only have a few seconds to convey your message.

2. Engage with a Clear Message

Call-to-Action (CTA): Whether it’s “Swipe Up” to shop, “Learn More,” or “Download Now,” your CTA should be prominent and actionable.

Storytelling: Use visuals and text to narrate a story that aligns with your brand values and goals.

3. Target the Right Audience

Instagram’s advanced targeting options allow you to reach users based on demographics, interests, and behaviors.

Retarget users who have engaged with your brand previously to maximize conversions.

By combining these strategies, you can craft an ad that resonates with your audience and drives meaningful results.

Measuring the Success of Your Instagram Story Ads

To ensure your campaigns are performing optimally, monitor these key metrics:

Impressions and Reach: These indicate how many people are viewing your ad.

Engagement Rates: Check for taps, clicks, and swipe-ups to gauge interest.

Conversion Rate: How many viewers are completing the desired action, such as making a purchase or signing up?

Return on Ad Spend (ROAS): Assess whether your investment is yielding profitable results.

Using tools like Instagram Ads Manager, you can analyze these metrics and refine your campaigns accordingly.

Instagram Ads: A Versatile Platform for Growth

One of the advantages of Instagram is its versatility. While Instagram Story ads are great for immersive engagement, the platform also supports other ad formats like carousel ads, video ads, and Explore ads. This allows brands to experiment and identify what resonates most with their audience.

For businesses looking to scale their advertising efforts, Instagram ads can be a game-changer. They provide access to a vast audience, creative tools, and precise targeting capabilities.

Tips for Creating Irresistible Instagram Story Ads

Leverage User-Generated Content: Featuring real users interacting with your product can boost authenticity and trust.

Experiment with Video: Videos often outperform static images in Stories due to their dynamic and engaging nature.

Optimize for Mobile: Ensure your content loads quickly and looks good on all screen sizes.

Test and Iterate: Run A/B tests to determine what design elements and CTAs work best.

Wrapping Up

Instagram Story ads have revolutionized the way brands interact with their audience. With their full-screen, immersive experience, they provide a unique opportunity to showcase creativity while driving tangible results. By focusing on strong design, clear messaging, and effective targeting, you can create campaigns that not only capture attention but also convert viewers into loyal customers.

If you’re looking to explore more about leveraging Instagram for your brand, consider learning how Instagram ads can help maximize your marketing potential.
