01 · What we do
What we do on Instagram
On Instagram the creative does most of the targeting, so we put as much work into the visuals as into the settings.
02
Creatives for each placement
We cut vertical Reels and Stories, portrait feed posts and carousels from your photos and footage. Text and buttons sit inside safe zones so the app interface never covers them.
03
Placement and objective strategy
We decide whether each campaign sends people to your DMs, a booking page, a Shopify catalogue or your profile. Reels, Stories and feed get separate budgets when their costs differ.
04
Retargeting warm viewers
People who watched most of a Reel, visited your profile or added to cart see a follow-up ad with a reason to act now. This step usually reaches the people closest to buying.
02 · Who it’s for
Who Instagram ads are for
Instagram ads work when your product looks good on a phone screen and a few seconds of video can explain it.

Visual products and spaces
Restaurants, interiors, custom kitchens, cars, fashion and beauty, where one strong shot or short clip does most of the selling.
- 02
Studios, salons and personal brands
Fitness and dance studios, stylists and coaches whose clients book after seeing the person, the space and the results.
- 03
Shopify and online stores
Stores that can connect a product catalogue, show items with prices in Stories and Reels and retarget people who browsed.
- 04
Brands with creators or customer videos
If customers or local creators already post about you, we can run their videos as partnership ads, which often feel more trustworthy than brand posts.

FAQ
Questions about Instagram ads
Plan your first Instagram campaign
Book a free call and we will review your profile and suggest the first three ad concepts worth testing.
Talk to the team +1 (437) 826-8716info@thrive-solutions.netHow much do Instagram ads cost?
Management starts at $750 per month in CAD before HST and includes the launch creatives, with a fixed quote after a free call. Ad spend is billed by Meta separately, and we suggest at least $1,000 per month so each placement gets enough data.
Do we need professional video?
No. Phone footage that shows the real product, space or team often works as well as polished video in Reels and Stories. We edit what you have, and if a new shoot in Toronto makes sense, we quote it separately.
Should we just boost posts from the app?
Boosting is quick but gives little control over placements, audiences and tracking. For sales and bookings we run campaigns in Ads Manager; if your goal is followers and reach for existing posts, our social media promotion service is a better fit.
How long before we see results?
First ads usually go live 10 to 14 days after the brief, once you approve the creatives. Give it 3 to 4 weeks of data before judging, because the first round is there to learn what your audience responds to.
Can people message us or buy straight from the ad?
Yes. We can open an Instagram Direct chat with a prepared first message, send people to a booking page or show products from a connected Shopify catalogue. Each route is tracked, so you see which one brings the most sales.
