Instagram, like Vine has a capping on length of videos to keep the content fresh and not use a lot of bandwidth.  Secondly, keep your focus on what your customer or client wants to see from their perspective, not yours.  Always create your marketing approach so it can allow interaction from your customer base or have a call to action.

Social Media analytics are very important for tracking customer interaction.  Instagram is none less.  Use their tools to help manage and track your video.   In conclusion, interaction of your customer base, call to action, and analytics that work will give your brand success.
