Templates that look great can help you engage with your audience. We've gathered together a few of our favourite Instagram templates, especially designed for vertical video.
These templates are a mix from Envato Elements and Envato Market, so there's something for everyone!
Here are our top tips to consider when you're creating your stories:
- Be consistent—your style should be recognisably you, every time. Using templates can really help with this.
- Be concise—you've only got a short time to get your point across, so make the best use of that time that you can and keep your messages uncomplicated.
- Use hashtags—don't clutter your post with too many, keep them relevant to your potential audience.
