Here CRUX Creative Solutions, the leading online marketing company in Delhi NCR presents some key highlights of the study.
The average Instagram post gets 5,963 likes, which differs from the number of likes received by highly influential users. The median number of likes is closer to 100 that suggest 50% of users receive less than 100 likes for the average post. On the other hand, video posts have received the highest number of likes and overall engagement over the years.
In terms of comments, the average Instagram post receives 100.34 comments. Video posts receive an average of 150 comments. These facts differ from the average number of comments on viral videos. As per the study, the median number of comments per video is four, which means more than 50% of total users receive less than four comments per video post.
The HubSpot study says that the average Instagram post contains at least one hashtag. Using more hashtags may increase your visibility, but it decreases the average engagement rate. Ultimately, hashtags are not about quantity they are about relevance. Therefore, using more than five hashtags on the Instagram post is not advisable.
According to the HubSpot research data, 46.6% of Instagram users have less than 1,000 followers. Around 33.5% of users have between 1,000 -10,000 followers. Whereas, only 9.8% people have 10,000-50,000 and 2.7% have 50,000-100,000 followers. These data and figures should be a major concern when you are creating a new post for your business on Instagram.
