Reasons You Should Be Using Instagram

Launched in 2010, Instagram became successful almost immediately with larger social media platforms taking notice. One such platform that took an immediate interest in Instagram was Facebook. Rather than share the social media world with a competitor, Facebook decided to buy Instagram and turn it into one of the world’s largest mobile photo-sharing platforms. With over 600 million users, and at least 400 million actively using the platform every day, your business could benefit from using the platform.
