But how can you get the most out of Instagram – especially as it is a platform that relies on high-quality pictures and video? \nNot many of us have the budget to hire dedicated staff or third-party agencies to run our account so practical knowledge and skills are vital when we have limited time and resources. \nThe workshop will be tailored to meet the needs of the group but is likely to cover the following areas: \n\nWhy Instagram and social media are so important\nMaking the most of Instagram’s many features\nHow to create compelling\, engaging posts and visuals for Instagram optimisation\nA guide to Instagram Stories and Reels\nPractical examples of what works and what doesn’t\nCopyright and crowds sourcing imagery\nProfile designs and grid templates\nHow to schedule posts in advance / post from a computer\nA chance to share your own experiences and learn from others.\n\nWho Should Attend\nThis training is for staff who have responsibility for Instagram and social media as part of their role. \nYou should have a working knowledge of Instagram optimisation– but be in a position where you require help with creating posts and visuals that will entice engagement and get the most out of features such as filters\, Stories\, Reels and insights. \nWhat’s Included\nAfter the training\, you will be sent a pack containing all the advice\, tips and links discussed during the session. \nYou will also be able to pass on follow-up questions to our trainers\, SRX Consultancy\, who will offer practical support (via email or a quick call) to ensure you are able to put everything you learned into action. \nCost to attend: Members £95.00 + VAT  \n Non-Members £150.00 + VAT
