With 300+ M users, Instagram (owned by Facebook), shouldn't be disregarded, specifically if your customer base is comprised of Millennials.
Instagram With Facebook
While numerous social apps can be managed with the mobile app or with a site (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), Instagram won't let you handle your account up until you've downloaded the mobile app. In this post, I'm going to show you the essentials of Instagram, and discuss how you can leverage an Instagram fan base to offer more through your Facebook store.
Establishing Your Instagram Account
Instagram setup is reasonably simple. Initially, download the mobile app. When it's downloaded you'll be triggered to enter your e-mail address and login using your Facebook account. After you've logged in, the account is developed.
Ways to Location Your Facebook Store URL in Your Instagram Profile
When setting up your account, it's essential to include a connect to your Facebook Store URL in your Instagram bio. Now that you have actually established your mobile app, you can access Instagram through the site on a desktop (this will make modifying your profile and including info a lot easier.).
Login to your ShopTab account, copy the Store URL from the My Products page, and after that place the URL into your Instagram profile.
To insert your link through the Instagram site:.
- Click your profile image and username in the upper right.
- Click Edit Profile.
- Enter your site s URL in the last field on the page.
The link will appear here in your bio.
Now, people who follow you on Instagram will be able to access your Facebook shop straight from your Instagram profile page.
Tip: Just use the Facebook shop URL provided in the ShopTab admin (do not attempt to copy/paste the URL from Facebook-- it's not mobile-friendly!).
How to Post a Product Image.
Posting an image on Instagram is basic and intuitive. Open your Instagram application on your phone and click the video camera button. From here you'll have the ability to gain access to all of the pictures that are already kept on your phone. Any pictures you take with your phone can be uploaded into Instagram and shared with your fans.
Ways to Talk about Your Product Image.
This is the vital part-- a lot of your followers will not know the best ways to access your Facebook shop link unless you tell them where the link is. The link that you positioned in your profile will not immediately show up when you publish an image.
When you publish an image, you'll be asked if you desire to add a comment.
Whenever you discuss a post, it will show up here.
Instagram does not enable you to paste your store link in your comment. In your remark, you'll wish to say something like:.
" Interested in buying these ? Click the store link on my profile!".
That will advise prospective buyers to visit your profile page, where they can click your Facebook Store URL and then access your items.
