Did you know Instagram<\/a> recently added a Support Small Business<\/strong> sticker to their Stories feature, allowing you to show support and bring attention to your favourite small business?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new sticker allows you to tag a small business in your post, which will cause your post to be added to a shared Story related to the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to know how you can show your local business support using this nifty new sticker?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get started: Note: These screenshots were captured in the Instagram application on iOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take or import a photo or video of your choice into Stories, tap the stickers icon in the top right hand side of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scroll through or do a quick search for the Support Small Business<\/strong> sticker. Tap the sticker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Instagram<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Type the Instagram username of the business you want to support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you type, Instagram will show you accounts that match what you\u2019ve typed so far. When you see the business you want to support, tap its picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From here, you can rotate, resize and move the sticker around the screen to best fit your post before sharing it. Note: Depending on the business you\u2019ve selected, you may also be able to tap on the sticker to view two different versions of it (one with pictures and one without).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
