The carousel effect: Double your Instagram reach

In the ever-evolving world of Instagram marketing, one format stands out as a powerful tool for increasing reach: carousel posts. According to Instagram’s head, Adam Mosseri, carousels offer a strategic advantage for content creators and marketers alike.

Why are carousels such effective engagement drivers? First, multiple frames naturally lead to more interactions. With up to 20 frames now available in a single carousel, users have more opportunities to engage with your content. 

The second reason: Instagram gives carousel posts a second chance at life. If a user doesn’t swipe through your carousel initially, the platform will automatically show them the second frame later in their feed. 

Instagram has also made carousels more versatile than ever. One of the most significant updates is that carousels with music can now appear in the Reels tab, dramatically expanding your content’s visibility. They’ve also introduced text overlays, and perhaps the most exciting is the new multi-format display feature, allowing you to mix and match different image formats within the same carousel.
