PART 2

One way some companies engage in marketing on Instagram is through contests. A particular kind of contest, called 'the loop giveaway' has become popular.

Basically, it works like this: A company posts a picture. The picture's caption usually announces that there is a prize giveawayand explains how people can participate and any rules involved.

Companies participating in the loop giveaway may each pay a portion of the cost of the prize(s), or each company might select one of its own products or services as a prize. In order to win the prize(s), the Instagrammer has to 'like' the picture and follow the company that posted it. However, the process is just getting started.

The individual then needs to click on the picture and go to the next account that is featured. That account will also post a picture connected to the giveaway. The individual must 'like' that picture and follow that account as well. This process of 'liking' and following continues until the individual finds himself or herself at the start of the loop again. The number of companies participating in the loop can be more than 30.

Some giveaways also require the Instagrammer to tag another person every time he or she followsa new account and 'likes' its contest-related picture. Once the loop giveaway ends, the Instagrammer can 'unfollow' and 'unlike' all the accounts thatwere part of the contest. However, it's very probable that some people won't bother to do this or may actually want to continue following at least some of the new accounts that were part of the giveaway.

Given the potential for people to quickly click through, the loop campaigns may see less return than otherwise expected and the concept is likely to generate 'Instagram Follow Fatigue' driving people away from future endeavors. The advice here would be to use loop campaigns carefully.
