Marriott Resorts and Novotel on Instagram

Few years ago Instagram has become a new social media platform and with no time people started to make it one of the popular social websites.
Today we are going to take a look at two instagram accounts : @marriottintl and @novotelnorthamerica.
Marriott has 25.8k of followers, at the same time Novotel has just 787 followers. Marriott does not have any special schedule for the content on Instagram; it can be posted once/twice per week in average. Novotel is posting their content once per week.
Marriott`s posts are photos from different places, where there are Marriott Resorts hotels. It may seems boring, however, they are trying to interact with people asking different questions.
Novotel is using different technique to interact with consumers and followers. Their content is photos made by clients and customers. It is nice for almost every person to be posted by some company, especially as big as Novotel.
Novotel is using the same hashtag as in Twitter : #NewNovotel. Also, depending on the place where picture was taken, they are using local hashtags such as #toronto #novotelmississauga etc.
Marriott`s hashtags are the name of the places their hotels are located such as #bahamas #thailand. It may not be the most successful technique because when you click on such a common hashtags there are a lot of different pictures and it is hard to find the one you actually need.
Lets take a look at the popular posts.
Marriott has a photo of the Marriott Resort in Bahamas  and it has 1009 likes, and a lot of comments. It has such a success because there is a contest happening with #weddingwire hashtag. It is a giveaway to win a honeymoon there.
The most successful post of Novotel has 75 likes and it is photo from the Torontoblog profile. It does not have much hashtags; and it has just one comment.

I think, that Marriott is more successful on the Instagram, due to their popularity and also they are trying to advertise their account with different contests.
