If I don't have Instagram yet, should I wait to run a giveaway until I set it up?

Set up Instagram first—it only takes a few minutes. Then you can run the giveaway on both Instagram and Facebook simultaneously, which maximizes reach. You can even use the giveaway to announce your new Instagram account and ask people to follow you there. Use the same email for both accounts so they’re easy to connect later.
