So, Instagram stories help you reach geographical area wise audiences by way of location tags. You can tag a specific area, city, or country in your stories. When you do that, you get followers from that chosen area only.

Instagram also offers you to tag influencers, brands, businesses, and other people in your stories. Whenever you tag these people in your stories, it helps you improve your reach. This is because when you tag other people in the stories, it increases the chances that they will repost your story on their social handle. That is how their followers will get to know about your brand. And, consequently, if they like your page, then these people tend to follow you. Moreover, when you mention your followers on the story, then they tend to like it and also feel special. So, when you give such special & personalized attention to your followers, it eventually improves your brand loyalty.
