Get More Followers, Traffic & Ecommerce Sales From Instagram

Instagram is quickly turning into the number one social media platform for ecommerce marketing. No longer is it dominated by shots of birthday parties and pet kittens.

But to truly harness the power of Instagram you need the best Instagram marketing tools at your fingertips, saving you time, effort, and money.

Fortunately, there is a bewildering array of marketing tools for Instagram already available – with more on their way as Instagram becomes the platform of choice for more ecommerce businesses.

One of the questions I get asked the most by ecommerce store owners is ‘How do we stand out from the crowd on Instagram?’

As more of the competition flocks to the platform, which is rapidly becoming the go-to marketing platform for ecommerce businesses, it’s true that it’s becoming harder to get noticed.

But what the best brands on Instagram know is this: well-planned, well-executed Instagram marketing campaigns always stand out.

With 600 million active monthly users and 300 million using it every single day, business owners are slowly waking up to the potential of a solid Instagram marketing strategy to help drive success for their ecommerce store.

The average Instagram post generates a per-follower engagement rate of 4.21%, which is not only 120 times greater than the average Twitter post; it also blasts Facebook posts out of the water.

Imagine if each new engaged follower clicks through to your store – how might this affect your sales and your profits?

With 2017 looking like it’s going to be the year when Instagram and ecommerce finally shake hands and admit they are a match made in marketing heaven, it’s becoming even more important to learn the Instagram marketing tips that will help your business stand out.

There is likely to be a short ‘window of opportunity’ for the smartest ecommerce stores to lead with their strategies and steal a yard on the competition; we know that, with the incredible potential of Instagram marketing, pretty soon everybody’s going to be doing it. At present, only 36% of marketers use Instagram, compared with 93% on Facebook

From clothing and beauty to exercise and food, many of the best ecommerce brands on Instagram are set to keep killing it this year.

Some of the most successful Instagram brands have been around for many decades (even centuries in one or two cases!) yet they have still been alert and nimble enough to create a strong presence on Instagram for the past few years; other brands are newer and have just started really making waves this year.

Regardless of the niche, there is plenty that we can all learn from their success – and we need to do it quickly!

From a funky photo-sharing app in late 2010 to a potential marketing powerhouse in early 2017, Instagram has come a long way. But have you come a long way with it?

Instagram is one of those platforms (like its owners, Facebook) that is bridging the ever-narrowing divide between personal and business. While Instagram has few business-specific features, its recent moves have made many ecommerce business owners’ ears start buzzing.

Have you been hearing about all the wonderful things that Instagram can achieve for ecommerce businesses – but wondering where to start? Maybe you’re not even sure what Instagram is and how businesses are using it?
