Discover how to develop your Instagram strategy, with practical tips from fashion brand consultant André Boffano

Instagram is now a great store front for brands of all kinds, especially in the field of fashion and accessories. It stands out from the (very large) social crowd because it allows you to present a catalogue combining amazing photos that clinch sales with the lifestyle people look for on social.

Instagram is also an amazing e-commerce tool that helps you market your products, values and mission in an integrated way to promote sales both through and off the app.

Creative Director André Boffano (@andreboffano) believes you need to combine creativity with success to develop your brand. He founded MODEM and acts as a creative consultant for fashion brands. He studied at the École de la Chambre Syndicale in Paris. His journey to become a stylist has actually led him to explore many areas of the industry.

Don’t miss André Boffano’s valuable tips on how to promote your brand on Instagram.

Use Insights

Insights is a free Instagram tool that allows you to monitor strategic information like your audience’s gender, age-range, location and peak viewing hours.

Understanding these aspects will allow you to successfully shape your sales and marketing strategy.

Reveal your essence

Make the essence of your brand clear in your posts by developing a unique and unmistakable language, tone of voice and lifestyle. Fashion isn’t just clothing, it’s also about values, mission, creative process, artistic references and the production chain.

All this can (and must) be used in your marketing. The clearer you are about your motivations and the elements that define your brand, the better.

Embrace diversity

Diversity and a focus on humanizing your products are essential, even in a virtual environment.

Communicating through people from different places, with different biotypes and ages will bring your brand commercial success, and expand your audience.
