Instagram often feels like a world of influencers, hashtags, and curated perfection—but it’s also a powerful tool for local businesses. If you’re in Eastbourne, your audience is already there. The only question is whether they’re seeing you.
Here’s why Instagram deserves a place in your strategy:
1. It’s where people look for ideas
From food and events to local services and shopping, Instagram is the go-to place for inspiration—and your next customer might be browsing right now.
2. Visuals build trust
A photo of your work, your team, or even behind-the-scenes moments can build more trust than a dozen product descriptions.
3. Hashtags work harder locally than you think
Using #Eastbourne or tagging your neighbourhood gives your posts a real shot at reaching people nearby. Not everything needs to go viral.
4. Stories keep you visible
You don’t have to create a masterpiece. Just a quick Story keeps you in the loop and in people’s minds.
5. You can sell without sounding salesy
A well-shot photo with a good caption can feel like a recommendation—not a pitch.
6. It’s brilliant for showcasing personality
Whether you’re funny, warm, creative or clever—Instagram lets you show it without needing to explain it.
7. People share what they love
Get one good post and your followers will do the work for you. Local pride goes a long way.
