Tips On How To Sell On Instagram

By Patty Goff


With millions of people joining Instangram, it is fast becoming a popular place for entrepreneurs and businesses to sell their products and services. By using this platform, you will be able to reach a different kind of audience than what you are already used to. To ensure that you are successfully able to get followers to like and buy your products, keep in mind a few tips on how to sell on Instagram.

The quality of your photos matter. This means that you should take clear photos that showcase your products well. If you can afford it, let a professional photographer take photos on your behalf. Take multiple photos from different angles and only post the best photos. You can post a single photo or multiple photos of a single item.

Use hash tags when you post photos. This makes it possible for other people to find your posts. Use several hash tags that are related to the item you have posted. In addition, you should use hash tags which show your geographical location and hash tags which indicate that the items are up for sale.

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 easy for your customers to find items and more information about the items that are on sale. You can do this by including a link that leads to where they can find more information about the product. You can also include your contact information on your posts. That way, customers won't have to keep scrolling through your account to find contact details. You should also provide your customers with a convenient way to pay for the items and have it shipped to them as soon as you can.

Caption your photos properly. Your captions should provide your users with more information about the products you are selling. This includes stating the price and availability of the product. You can also provide any other information that may be helpful to the customer or prompt them to want to buy the product. You can use short descriptions or you can use long descriptions on your posts.

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.

Run photo contests to keep your followers engaged. Give cool prizes, so as to attract participation from many people. Your contests can go viral if your fans can connect with the gifts that are up for grabs. Have your followers vote for their favorite photos in the competition.
