Instagram Threads
Tips 'n tricks about the web, digital trends, and online marketing
Instagram Threads
In the summer of 2023, it caused Meta turmoil caused by new app launch Threads via subsidiary Instagram. While Instagram mainly focuses on sharing images and videos, Threads emphasises text messaging. With this app, you can share your thoughts, ideas and opinions with the world in up to 500 characters.
Does this look familiar to you?
It is a strategic move by Meta to launch a platform very similar to X, the former Twitter. X has been experiencing a decline in user numbers for quite some time, while Threads managed to attract 10 million users immediately at its launch, in August last year. The fact that you can sign up via Instagram with just two clicks probably also plays a part in this. Since December, Threads has also been available in Europe and we see more and more companies gratefully using this app. The big advantage of Threads over X is that Threads is part of the ever-growing Meta and X stood alone.
What is Instagram Threads?
Threads is a social media app that, we mentioned earlier, was developed by Meta, Instagram's parent company. Unlike Instagram, which is mainly focused on sharing photos and videos, Threads is designed for text-based sharing. With its simple interface and focused features, Threads has quickly gained popularity among users looking for a more direct and private way of communicating on social media.
Messages may include:
- Max 500 characters
- Photos
- Links
- Videos up to 5 minutes long
- Voice memos
- Polls
Opportunities for businesses
Threads offers companies several opportunities to strengthen their presence and increase engagement on social media. The informal and personal tone of voice allows companies to establish direct connections with their target audience and build a more authentic relationship. Moreover, the possibility of being promoted by Instagram itself provides an opportunity to increase reach and reach new potential customers. By strategically using Threads as a platform for direct interaction and personalised communication, companies can strengthen brand loyalty and build valuable relationships with their customer base.
Where Threads also offers great opportunities is that here you can indeed add a link directly to your post. On Instagram, it is still common to refer to the #linkinbio when posting. In addition, Threads also offers the option of sharing voice memos and videos of up to 5 minutes, which can be used to generate leads.

Funkhaus designed our website. They heard us well and translated our wishes into something that suits us perfectly. In the process, they continue to help us with topics that are not 'proprietary' for us such as visibility and marketing. The contact is fluid and good. We are fans!

A conflict in our association's woocommerce shop was preventing payments from being processed. Wout from Funkhaus checked with us and managed to identify the problem.
Good party that works quickly and professionally and keeps in touch very well!
