Tips On How To Sell On Instagram

By Patty Goff


Instangram is an emerging social media platform that has attracted millions of users. If you are looking for somewhere to market your products or services, you can take advantage of this market by selling to them products or services that they will find useful. There are various tips that can come in handy in helping you know how to sell on Instagram.

Take high quality photos of the items you have for sale. Make the items as attractive as possible. By trying different layouts, using different backgrounds and colors and pairing up the item with other related items. You can also make your products more attractive to potential clients by illustrating to clients how the item is best used.

Using hash tags is vital in making people find you online. Your hash tags should include the name of your product, your brand name and your location. Clearly indicate that the items are for sale. Make sure that each post has a hash tag. You can use as many hash tags as you deem necessary, as long as they are relevant to your post.

Be active on the site. People do not like to be ignored, especially if they ask questions and you repeatedly don't answer. Check your notifications and respond to any activities that affect you. This includes commenting on other people's photos, responding to queries asked by your followers and rewarding or thanking anyone who has taken time to repost or tag their friends to photos in your account.

Make it convenient for your clients to reach you, scroll through your shop and have their products delivered to them. The more easily you can coordinate all these functions, the more satisfied clients you will have. This will increase the popularity of your account through word of mouth from happy customers. This will require a lot of commitment on your side to see that everything runs smoothly.

Remember to include descriptions on your posts. Your descriptions should provide your followers with more information about your products. Essential information that you should mention include the price, type of product and whether it is still for sale or not. You can provide contact information on your posts for customers to use when they want to reach you for more information.

Add some bit of creativity and spontaneity to our posts to keep things fun. Use other media available on the site such as videos. Apart from your products, you can also post photos of other things that are related to your business. This includes photos of what goes on behind the scenes and people who are involved in the day to day running of the business.

Holding competitions from time to time is a good way of appreciating your customers and gaining more followers. Always make your top prize as enticing as possible. This will get a lot of people to participate. This will create more awareness about your brand.
