DIY: Home Depot





A successful social media post is this example from Home Depot, which was posted on May 19, 2016 on the social media platform of Instagram. Home Depot is successful with this post in that it showcases one of their products (M. Barker, D. Barker, Bormann, Roberts, Zahay 166). Through this image, Home Depot is properly targeting its target market of do-it-yourself customers by demonstrating how you can utilize their liberty post hooks and casters to create this beautiful cart.  Another reason this post is effective is on account of its high level of engagement among consumers. The post received 251 comments and a whopping 1,744 likes, which conveys how photos and images are known to encourage consumers to share and interact with posts (M. Barker, D. Barker, Bormann, Roberts, Zahay 158). The compelling DIY content in this post is boosted with the informative, yet beautiful image.
