Blog Post #3 – Tesla vs Toyota on Instagram by Lingjun



Post frequency: Normally, Tesla’s Official Instagram account post one image every week, sometimes one post every 3 days. However, Toyota’spost on Instagram is more regular than other social media platform, normally one post every 2 days. (Click the brand to know more information about them)

The content – the same like Facebook Page and Twitter account, but more less than them. For Tesla, they have trade show event, video about Tesla’s performance, Picture of Tesla, Customer stories as well as some images. In most time, Tesla doesn’t use 50/50 rule but sometimes does.  The same as Toyota, they don’t follow the 50/50 rule and they just post their videos/advertising about their products, the auto show about their cars as well as customers stories.

Keywords of Tesla included Tesla, autopilot, GenevaMotorShow, Model X and Model S.
Keywords of Toyota included Toyota, Auto, Cars, GenevaMotorShow, ProaceVerso, ToyotaCHR and Prius.

Why successful - The recent most successful post of Tesla is the one below, more than 20k people like and 281 comments as we see, for the reason, I think Tesla uses the interior view of their newest model to attract followers as well as so many hashtags, they also @ somebody to increase commutation.

The successful post of Toyota is the one posted about Tacoma on a Friday afternoon, which gives them 6052 likes and 63 comments. Because of the love of Tacoma from Instagram users, the time of posting which is Friday afternoon as well as the cool picture of Tacoma.
