                  How to write the perfect Instagram caption\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

                  You’ve got 63 easy, broad-appeal Instagram captions listed above that can be adapted for so many different purposes. But what about when you want to write your own captions?<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Whether you’re incorporating any of the ideas from above into your caption or you want to start from scratch, the following tips will all help you write stronger Instagram captions to increase engagement, build relationships and drive sales.<\/p>\n

                  Start strong\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

                  Instagram is full of content, which means your visuals and<\/em> your captions need to be great to grab a user’s attention while they’re scrolling their feed. “Thumb-stopping” is what we’re going for.<\/p>\n

                  A big part of starting strong is placing your value proposition (if applicable) in the very beginning of your caption to grasp your audience’s attention. Doing so will help get them to click “read more” and take the next steps outlined in your CTA (call to action). Finding the right value prop and CTA comes down to knowing your audience and what they’ll respond to.<\/p>\n

                  Here’s an example. This brand starts the caption off with “Some of our favorite cozy fall recipes also happen to be the simplest.” Since around this time of the year (November), every home cook’s feed is full of elaborate turkey and pie recipes that take hours to make, this is appealing; an easy dinner that’s perfect for the season? Who doesn’t love a simple recipe that can feed their family?<\/p>\n
