Highlight reviews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make reviews readily accessible to Instagram users by grouping them together in a highlight. It may also attract the attention of consumers who wouldn\u2019t usually sift through your feed trying to find customer testimonials. But if they\u2019re so readily available, they may just look through them and get in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Author Sergio Troncoso curates reviews for his novel <em>Nobody\u2019s Pilgrim<\/em> under the \u201cPilgrims\u201d highlight. Similarly,\u00a0 you can create Instagram highlights to demonstrate customer satisfaction for any product or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/jm8ZWHyVQUMwL2Ads7SG6JBajSJT4ySnWrXPYTsT-qtjQ4b3ZYp7ZU4y9CReK0jSy8Rf3nAineRc6AREy_2Z3REVgvt8AJNVtEtTAWuzr5V23_OuJE3Xj6_gmyqUPvD9Yrvacf3tgi8MsH3CiGt3vac\" alt=\"Image showing how to showcase reviews using an Instagram highlight \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-highlight-product-appointment-links\">2. Highlight product\/appointment links&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a retail business, customers would want to know more about your products than look through your content. Creating a story highlight with easy-to-access product information, and service appointment links can help them fulfill their intent faster, leading to a better customer experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Bambino has created a highlight for each personalized product they sell. Instagram users can easily find what they\u2019re looking for and browse product examples for piggy banks, step stools, jewelry boxes, and more, and then click on the included link when they\u2019re ready to make a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/J7uUR9LGumHLPu0z2AwLB9GvuYcRLjcqzeneKq0D4ko_x6CINB_LLCYsL34v-syBTQNEvh0jHztIz2S_SSU5IVFU3z4Du1fjSqT84LwFjBf_Zliu6S8VAMirVc80GVuQ4E9IN5wsVzbvKPLr2Z9KCd0\" alt=\"Image showing how to showcase products using an Instagram highlight \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-user-generated-content-highlights\">3.
