Getting customers from Instagram: A marketing manager's guide

Short answer

Marketing managers, you know that ads are expensive and manual posting is slow. You need a way to reach more people without the stress. A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post the brand's existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend.

Taking the manual work out of posting

You are spending too much time on your phone trying to manage your event presence. It's not sustainable. By using a managed content network, you can automate your distribution across dozens of pages. You give the assets to the provider, and they handle the posting for you. This frees you up to focus on the things that really matter, like event planning and strategy, while the network does the heavy lifting of getting your content seen.

Delivering results that you can prove

Your boss wants to see sales. When you use a network, you can track the traffic directly from the posts to your ticket sales. This is a big shift for your reporting. You can show, with clear data, that your strategy is working. You are driving traffic without spending a fortune on ads, and you have the numbers to back it up. This is how you show your worth and move up in your marketing career.

Handling the reality of the platform

Let’s be honest. Running many accounts with automation is against Instagram terms, and some pages get banned. TIDE handles this, replacing the pages as needed. This is the operational reality of the system. You are paying for the service to manage this, so you can keep your focus on your campaign. It is a smart trade-off that allows you to get the traffic you need without the technical headache.

Focusing on content quality

As a manager, your strength is in your creative direction. Now that you aren't doing manual posting, use that time to find the best clips from your events. Curate the content that you know your audience loves. When you feed the network with high-quality, engaging content, you will see the results in your conversion data. That is the true power of a managed network: it lets you be a better marketer.

Automate your event content distribution through a managed network to drive organic sales and reduce your manual workload.

Follow-up questions

How do I start with the network?

You just need to provide your high-quality video content and the tracking links you want to use for your ticketing page.

Will this make my brand look too commercial?

Not if you use high-quality, engaging highlights. People want to see great event footage; it feels like fan-generated content.

How often should I provide new content?

As often as you have new assets. The more fresh content you provide, the better the network performs.
