Packed with information

One of the ways to gain this consumer confidence is by filling out your bio strategically.
The tip here is to insert your username, website, emojis, hashtags of your niche, CTAs so that users can access the bio link. 😉
Organized to highlight products

Constantly updated
The more you post, the more you appear in your consumers’ feed. They might not buy anything at the time, but they will keep in touch with your brand.
So, everything that might be of interest to them should be posted:
- photos of people happy with what you sell;
- events in which you are involved;
- that traditional image of a sold-out product with a red x on top and much more!
Made to encourage engagement
Use links and so called Calls to Action or calls to action – features for people to interact, such as button-clicking messages – to guide your audience to take a certain action.
You can add this kind of feature to your profile with Instagram for Business, and you should be smart about taking advantage of it.
And to promote the relationship
People who have questions and direct them to you through Direct (Insta’s personal messages) are those who most intend to make the purchase.
Delaying in responding to these messages, on the other hand, can be disastrous and you could lose business.
Therefore, keep response time rates low log in frequently to the app and chat with these users even if their questions aren’t sales-oriented.
Instagram measures how long it takes you to respond and uses that to determine whether or not you’re worth it to followers.
The faster the responses, the greater the chances that new people will see your products!
Okay, if you’ve read this far, you’ve probably already changed your profile to the company, updated your information, and started taking better pictures.
The next step is to take steps to increase sales and be able to increase your wider reach without spending so much on ads on the platform. See the main tips for this!
use hashtags
Hashtags are those words or expressions that come with a Tic-Tip symbol before: #LojaDeRoupas, #FashionWomen’s and #TipsOfFashion are some examples.
Instagram uses this feature as labels for target the right content to the right people. So, don’t even think about trying to circumvent this system.
Using hashtags that are not related to your business in your publications is a shot in the foot: they attract curious people without the slightest purchase intention.
Post actual product videos and photos
People use the photos you post on Instagram as references to the real state of the products you sell. So, don’t even think about using images taken from Google, ok?
As good as they are, you can always see that these are promotional photos. Take good pictures of your products and inspire confidence in the public.
Even if you sell used items, such as thrift stores, for example, make it clear in the images if there are use marks on the clothes.
Post behind the scenes
The way the Internet has evolved, no one has the patience to see only product photos. By nature, people are attracted to everyday events in your business.
It seems insignificant, but they have fun seeing images of shoppers wearing the clothes you sell, or even having contact with everyday events in your work.
The tip here is to use Stories to share brand information. There, you can show everyday events and use features that encourage interaction, such as the question sticker that allows you to collect qualitative data.
Use InstaShop
InstaShop is a feature offered by this social network to allow you to link your Instagram profile to a website or e-commerce, if you have one.
In this model, the photos already appear with the price in the posts. You can also include a link in the description pointing to the product page on your website.
With Instagram Shopping you can sell in Stories and even have your products located in the “Explore” tab.
If you haven’t set up your Instagram clothing store yet, you’re certainly losing sales. We hope that, with these tips, you will be able to fix this error in time and get your shop off the ground!
