🚀 Boost Reels — Boost Sales

🔥Boost Sales With Instagram Reels

Instagram now allows businesses to boost Reels and turn them into ads directly from the app. This update makes it easier to amplify short-form content and reach users across the Reels tab, Explore, Feed, and Stories—without needing Ads Manager.

Key Insights:

    • Must be under 90 seconds

    • Must be full-screen vertical (9:16)

    • Cannot include copyrighted music, GIFs, third-party stickers, or filters

  • ⚠ Special Ad Categories Apply — If your campaign relates to credit, employment, housing, politics, or social issues, you must select the correct Special Ad Category to comply with Meta policies.
