When it comes to engagement on social media platforms, Facebook and Facebook-owned Instagram continue to dominate. Bloglovin’s November 2016 We Asked, They Answered: Global Power of Influencers Survey revealed that the two receive the most consumer engagement on sponsored content at 57.1% and 48.4%, respectively.

That’s unsurprising considering the platforms’ robust followings. Instagram nets over 500 million users while Facebook reels in an astounding 1.79 billion. For brands working with influencers on cross-platform promotional strategies, it’s important to include Facebook and Instagram to tap into their massive audiences, while also providing additional consumer touch points without the risk of over-saturation. Additionally, these two platforms also churn out new innovative products like Instagram Stories, Boomerang, and Facebook Live that are favorites among consumers and influencers alike.
