    Notes: While brands gradually increased their daily number of Instagram posts in 2015 (from an average of 0.89 in January to 1.04 in December), their interaction rates declined from an average of 4.96 to 3.1, reports Quintly, based on an analysis of 10,000 Instagram profiles (mostly B2C brands). The company attributes the decline to increasingly crowded timelines and a large increase in followers, as the profiles analyzed saw double-digit growth in followers per month throughout the year.

    It will be interesting to see what happens to interaction rates now that Instagram is moving to an algorithmic feed. That potential move – and its implications for brand post interaction rates – had been noted in a MarketingCharts study on Instagram post engagement published in Q3 2014.

    Meanwhile, the Quintly study also notes that brands published more image posts on a monthly basis during 2015, while the frequency of video posts almost doubled between January (1.78 per month) and December (2.77).
