6个有趣的用例

Instagram似乎正在不断改变其公式，以吸引人们进入平台。确实，他们最近宣布，他们已经通过了每月10亿个用户里程碑，并介绍了他们的YouTube杀手应用程序 - IGTV。虽然Instagram的新表情符号Slider for Instagram故事的到来可能不如IGTV那样开创性，但它仍然增加了Instagram的常规故事用户的享受。

Instagram的表情符号滑块旨在使Instagrammers与朋友互动的一种有趣的方式。您可以使用它来查看您的Instagram朋友和追随者对某事的感觉，而不仅仅是以“是”或“否”的方式，而是按照强度的规模。

As its name suggests, the emoji slider has two parts. Firstly you have to select an emoji – you can choose any emoji sticker you like. The “slider” part of the name refers to the fact that your friends can slide the emoji along a scale to indicate how much they agree with a statement you have made. If they leave the emoji at the extreme left, they completely disagree with your comment or question. If they take it to the extreme right, they wholeheartedly agree with it. And if they place the emoji somewhere in between the two extremes, it gives you an indication as to their level of agreement.

For instance, you may have an emoji slider sticker asking your followers how much they would enjoy a pizza you show in your story. If they leave the emoji at the extreme left of the scale, they would hate your pizza. If they shift it to the extreme right, they love your pizza. If they move it somewhere in between, they have mixed feelings about your pizza.

2.Ask a Quick Market Research Question

Businesses and their influencers can use an emoji sticker slider to help with their market research. For instance, an ice cream company could create a story showing their chocolate chip cookie ice cream flavor, and ask their customers to show how much they love that flavor on the slider.

您甚至可以以一种有效要求关注者比较两个变体的方式来言论您的问题。例如，您可以问他们将饼干和奶油冰淇淋与草莓冰淇淋进行比较。

The question doesn’t have to be about their level of like either. A shampoo manufacturer might want a guide to the type of hair that their customers have.

You could use Instagram Stories to test out new material on your followers. For instance, if you are a comedian, you could test possible new jokes for your act in a series of short video clips to an Instagram Story.

There are undoubtedly other types of creative content which you could share and then ask for feedback on how much your audience likes it.

4.Ask Your Followers and Customers What They Think of Your Content

It can be challenging to create content that your audience loves. It is much easier if you have the opportunity to gain feedback from your supporters. More and more influencers and brands have polled their audiences in recent times in an attempt to better tailor their content to audience needs.

如果您包括表情符号滑块，您不仅了解听众是否喜欢您的内容，而且还会发现他们有多喜欢它。

You could try this for a particular Instagram Story, or you could create a story that is more generic, asking your audiences how much they would like more of certain types of content. For instance, you could ask them how much they would like you to post more videos instead of photos.

If you are a designer, you may use an emoji sticker slider to get an indication of how people feel about your latest design. If you have created multiple versions of a book cover, for instance, you could use a slider on each cover design to get an indication of people’s thoughts.

5.使用它来激励您的客户

You could create a fun Instagram Story showing fun and/or innovative uses for your product. You could have a series of images and/or short video clips showing the suggested uses. On your last screen, you would include an Instagram emoji slider asking people how inspired they are to try out your product.

Likewise, you can use an Instagram Story, with an emoji slider, to generate hype for something – perhaps the release of a new product or an upcoming event.

6.Place Your Slider Over an Image Showing a Scale

Sometimes it can be hard to take real meaning from a score if there is no indication as to a scale. Although the emoji slider doesn't show a scale itself, you could create an image depicting a scale and position the slider on top of it.

For instance, you could ask your followers to rate something from 1 to 5. You could create an image showing a 1-5 point scale and set the slider sticker appropriately on it. Your followers will then move the slider to match the score they believe appropriate.

You could even adapt this to change the whole dynamic of the slider. For instance, you could turn it into a multiple-choice type question, by creating a scale with 4-5 answers. Your audience would then move the slider to match the appropriate answer. The average scores would have less meaning in this case, though.

它可能会贴上所有内容，但是一旦您尝试将滑块与适当的图像进行匹配，几次，您就应该觉得很容易复制。

The new Instagram emoji slider may appear to be just another sticker for Instagram Stories. But it has immense potential to increase your audience interaction. What are you going to do with an emoji slider in your next Instagram Story?
