Instamate, the world–s first Instagram scheduler app for the web launched earlier this week to much fanfare from online marketers around the globe. With the ability to create Instagram marketing campaigns using auto photo post scheduling, right from the web, regardless of whether the user is on a desktop PC or Mac, this new software has been well received by the industry so far.
More details about the new marketing app are available from the company–s website:

Ahead of the launch, founder and CEO, Luke Maguire made public some of his personal grievances that led to the development of the innovative new Instagram marketing tool:
“There was no way at all to manage my Instagram accounts from my computer! Instagram is a smart phone app and it simply sucked to have to find content, sync it to my phone, download multiple 3rd party tools to edit photos. And have to set alarms of when to post at prime times in hope that it would go viral after all this work, then do the same for all my other accounts¦
So it made me think, what if I could automate this entire process from my computer?”
Instagram is well-known for their focus on being a smart phone only app, despite the occasional complaint by users and marketers seeking an easier way to post to and access the app from the comfort of their own computers.
According to internet marketing industry legend, Allen Walker, The Mysterious Marketer:
“I rely on Instagram heavily for a number of my more high-end marketing campaigns, but admittedly, I don–t use it as much as I should. The main reason being that it–s so much easier to find posts and photos for campaigns through my computer. But constantly switching and touching things up between my laptop and my iPhone is always a pain.
With the release of the Instamate app, I can see that things are going to be changing quickly. With the previous limitations of only being able to create campaigns through your tiny little phone being removed, I can see more and more businesses using Instagram for marketing as a part of their overall marketing strategy in the coming days.”
Earlier this week, an [Instamate discount](http://www.kxnet.com/story/31393339/1-rare-instamate-discount-coupon-leaked-luke-maguire-fixes-instagram-marketing) code was reported as being leaked during the company–s launch festivities. The mishap was thought to have occurred during the first few hours of the launch, but adjustments have since been made to compensate for the unexpected occurrence.
The Instamate launch began March 2nd, and is expected to wind down around March 9th, during which time existing users who have their founding [Instagram coupon](http://www.themysteriousmarketer.com/coupons/software-coupons/instamate-discount-coupon-code-5-off-promo-deal/) in hand will be grandfathered in to the introductory launch rate, and the price will go up to their planned retail price to meet industry demand.
