We totally recommend it because it creates a native look and feel to the ad. i.e. \u2013 the user will look at it as another story (with a take away) rather than ad. Plus, it\u2019s always a great idea to use authentic content which is relatable for your audience.<\/i><\/p>\n

                                            Final thoughts \u2013<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

                                            Instagram stories are preferred by the users, they give a feeling of tightly knit community to the brand followers and stories are not fully commercialised yet. So why not place your next ad in Instagram Stories? Moreover, according to the statement released by Instagram, ad recall from Instagram ads was 2.8 times higher than Nielsen\u2019s norms for online advertising.
