Beyond Pictures: 14 Instagram Captions for Associations

For associations, Instagram marketing can be challenging. Finding compelling visuals can be tough (as a software company, we can empathize).

Instead of focusing on association-related images, focus on images that will engage your audience. The reality is that posting about memberships or event registrations is unlikely to drive meaningful activity. Your audience is human and likely using Instagram on a personal level, so it’s not necessary to engage with them on a solely professional level.

To drive interaction, pay attention to how you’re captioning your posts. Instagram captions shouldn’t be an afterthought; they’re a prime opportunity to engage.

When deciding if a caption “works,” start by asking yourself:image of instagram post

    • How will my audience react to this content?
    • Will they find it entertaining?
    • How will it make them feel?

A well-written caption is:

    • simple and short (captions cut off in users’ feeds after 3-4 lines of text).
    • crafted in your brand voice using a casual tone.
    • front-loaded with the most important words.
    • informative and encourages viewers to look at the picture more closely.

Ideas, strategies, and tactics for captions:

    • Identify a problem and a solution
    • Use a call-to-action to drive interaction
    • Include a quote
    • Capture one of the five senses
    • Behind-the-scenes, instructional, informative,
      or contest/giveaway captions are usually a slam dunk.
    • use #hashtags
    • Post a shout-out with an @mention
