Feature clips of your products in motion, rather than just pictures of it.

As a product or giveaway promotion draws closer, think about using an Instagram Story to create a sense of urgency around your promotion. Host a limited-time promotion even to offer special discounts on your products. Maybe you can even use these events to share some swag from your company. This also gets more followers to like your account if they like what they see.

Create a story that resonates with your audience
The type of content that works well with a variety of audiences is story-telling. Build a narrative around your product and brand through video. Plug your products, but be sure to create a fascinating narrative that reflects the parts of your brand that you know your audience resonates with.
