The only difference is that you can\u2019t attach a picture or\nvideo, which you need when using the interactive stickers from the \u2018story\u2019\ninterface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, let\u2019s talk about what\u2019s under the new \u2018Create\u2019 Mode and how you can use it to engage your followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Be Open With The Ask Me Anything Sticker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way it works is up to you, whether you ask\na question, or you let your followers ask you something. There are also various\ntemplate questions provided by Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"279\" height=\"562\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-1.png\" alt=\"Instagram-create-filter-1\" class=\"wp-image-31054 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-1.png 279w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-1-149x300.png 149w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-1-174x350.png 174w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-1-93x187.png 93w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 279px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 279\/562;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This sticker is a great tool to use when\nyou\u2019re looking for external input from your audience. Ideally, you should ask a\ntargeted question that has the most potential of piquing your audience\u2019s\ninterest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When someone submits a response to the\nsticker, it comes in privately. You can see it under the view count icon in\nyour story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can then share the responses, and whoever\nsubmits them will get notified if you do so. Not only does this spark a\nmeaningful engagement, but it also shows your audience that you actually take\nthe time to read their responses.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"493\" height=\"872\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-2.png\" alt=\"Instagram-create-filter-2\" class=\"wp-image-31057 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-2.png 493w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-2-170x300.png 170w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-2-198x350.png 198w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-2-106x187.png 106w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 493px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 493\/872;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starbucks took the creative route and used the\n\u2018Ask Me Anything\u2019 sticker by quizzing their followers what drink is coming\nback. They used emojis to give hints and used colorful images as backgrounds in\ntheir stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, they posted answers from followers who\nhad the right guesses. To end the suspense, they finally revealed that their S\u2019\nmores Frappuccino is indeed making a comeback for the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u2018Ask Me Anything\u2019 sticker is versatile and\ncan be used in so many different ways for different occasions. You can learn\nmore about your followers, ask them what they think of your brand, or like\nStarbucks, build up the suspense for a new product release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Test the water for new content or product with Poll sticker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This poll sticker is a handy tool to test which\ncampaign, product, or topic that the majority of your audience prefers to see\nnext. It\u2019s certainly not detailed enough to be considered a valid market test,\nbut at least the response that your followers give should give you a hint of\nwhich of the two options they would be interested to see.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"387\" height=\"675\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-3.png\" alt=\"Instagram-create-filter-3\" class=\"wp-image-31060 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-3.png 387w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-3-172x300.png 172w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-3-201x350.png 201w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-3-107x187.png 107w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 387px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 387\/675;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, the response will be visible to you\nprivately. You can see who votes which options under the view count icon in\nyour story. This should be very useful to you, especially if you run a blog\nsubscription or targeted campaign. By knowing who votes for what, you can\neventually use both options and just target them to different groups of people.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"949\" height=\"824\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-4.png\" alt=\"Instagram-create-filter-4\" class=\"wp-image-31063 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-4.png 949w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-4-300x260.png 300w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-4-768x667.png 768w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-4-403x350.png 403w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-4-187x162.png 187w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 949px) 100vw, 949px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 949px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 949\/824;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IKEA used the polls to ask their followers\nwhat they liked whilst showing off their new catalog. Sticking to their\nsimplistic roots, their polls were nothing out of the ordinary but it was\naccompanied by stunning visuals and great furniture design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instagram\u2019s poll sticker is an excellent\ncustomer research tool. Instagram itself has a large user base, so it\u2019s a great\nplace to test new products or services. Polls help brands get a better idea of\nwhat their audience is interested in, giving them a valuable insight into what\ntheir customers prefer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Share your favorite accounts\/things to follow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main purpose of using this sticker is to\ngive your two cents on which accounts are worth following. If you\u2019re building\nfollowers based on a certain niche, this could be a good way to mutually\npromote other accounts. Showing who you follow or who you\u2019re endorsing could be\na good way to start showing your niche based on who you recommend with this\nsticker.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"433\" height=\"868\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-5.png\" alt=\"Instagram-create-filter-5\" class=\"wp-image-31066 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-5.png 433w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-5-150x300.png 150w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-5-175x350.png 175w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-5-93x187.png 93w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 433px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 433\/868;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although this feature doesn\u2019t provide\non-screen interactive fields like many other stickers, given you have followers\nwho agree or have similarities in who they follow or who they\u2019re currently\nhooked into, it could still be a powerful conversation starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Mode comes with a lot of options. You can share the music you\u2019ve been listening to lately, random thoughts, or even interact with your followers by asking questions. Another feature that comes with this Mode is the \u2018On this day\u2019 feature which allows you to share a story or post you published on the same day the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Hype up product launch with the countdown sticker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Got a product or content to launch? This countdown\nsticker allows your followers to turn on notifications once the timer runs out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could be a very valuable method of\nannouncing product or content launch effectively. The only challenge is making\na pitch good enough to make your followers turn on the countdown notification.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"339\" height=\"454\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-6.png\" alt=\"Instagram-create-filter-6\" class=\"wp-image-31069 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-6.png 339w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-6-224x300.png 224w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-6-261x350.png 261w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-6-140x187.png 140w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 339px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 339\/454;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Build up hype for\nan event or a product launch with this countdown sticker. It\u2019s a great way to\nbuild anticipation and keep followers on their toes and remind them that you\nexist and that something awesome is coming along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"739\" height=\"422\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-7.png\" alt=\"Instagram-create-filter-7\" class=\"wp-image-31072 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-7.png 739w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-7-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-7-450x257.png 450w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-7-350x200.png 350w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-7-187x107.png 187w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 739px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 739\/422;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The countdown\nsticker isn\u2019t just for events or product launches. Many brands have used it for\nTV shows, holidays, sales, and pretty much anything. For example, you can even\ncreate a countdown for having pizza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether it\u2019s a huge event or a simple meal, a countdown is ideal for any situation. However, remember to include an interesting title and other elements, such as gifs or <a href=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/en\/blog\/best-instagram-captions\/\">captions<\/a>, in the reel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Try the &#8220;draw something challenge&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new \u2018Create\u2019 feature not only implements the existing stickers differently but also adds several new templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of these templates is the \u2018draw something\u2019\nchallenge. You get a blank canvas to draw on, and you can ask others to draw\ntheir own version by tagging them in your story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could strengthen your bond with others in your niche, especially if you\u2019re working in the visual\/art\/graphic <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/presentation-ideas\/\">design industry<\/a>. This one provides off-screen interaction between you and the accounts that you challenge to draw something.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"337\" height=\"679\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-8.png\" alt=\"Instagram-create-filter-8\" class=\"wp-image-31075 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-8.png 337w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-8-149x300.png 149w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-8-174x350.png 174w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-8-93x187.png 93w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 337px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 337\/679;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get creative and challenge your followers to a drawing challenge. This is great for encouraging engagement, which will benefit your page in the long run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For brands who are into creative stuff such as\narts and crafts or those selling stationery, this feature can be used to engage\nwith your customers. For example, you can host a giveaway based on the best\ndrawing by a follower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another way to create a community is to hold a drawing challenge. Remember to include a creative title for the challenge and a <a href=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/en\/blog\/best-instagram-hashtags\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hashtag <\/a>so it doesn\u2019t get buried in other posts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Start conversations <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve engaged with your followers regularly, it will be much easier to talk with them. This brand-new sticker from Instagram allows your followers to start a chat with you using the story as a trigger topic.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"341\" height=\"710\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-9.png\" alt=\"Instagram-create-filter-9\" class=\"wp-image-31078 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-9.png 341w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-9-144x300.png 144w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-9-168x350.png 168w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-9-90x187.png 90w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 341px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 341\/710;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could be a great way to start a group\ndiscussion on certain topics from your story.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"410\" height=\"731\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-10.png\" alt=\"Instagram-create-filter-10\" class=\"wp-image-31081 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-10.png 410w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-10-168x300.png 168w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-10-196x350.png 196w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Instagram-create-filter-10-105x187.png 105w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 410px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 410\/731;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you\u2019re opening a new shop or studio in a certain area, you can use the discussion sticker to invite followers to engage with your brand.
