Stick to a visual language:
For your audience to recognise the brand and products easily, it is lucrative to follow a particular visual language. There always has to be a common thread in all your posts, which gives accurate recognition. This thread could be anything as simple as following a particular colour scheme or a tagline.

Generate uniqueness:
Having a different feed or voice than what is usually followed would be helpful. Try to have an eccentric identity with your feed. This can be possible by using different photo shoot styles or by following a unique theme of posts. For example The Instagram feed of Sabyasachi.

Find your appropriate platform:

Engage via communication:
In order to gain the attention of your audience, it is important to be actively connected. Take their suggestions for posts, reply to their tweets or comments. Make them feel important. Once they feel that your page is constantly taking interests in the audience, it increases the heed in them too. Also, try and engage them by using constant contests and giveaways.
