In this blog, we’ll be providing you with simple tips on how you can make your jewelry on your Instagram page sellable, with the end goal of converting your admiring followers into loyal repeat buyers.

What is an Instashop? 

Instagram shopping is ultimately a business tool that allows you to add a buying option to your images/videos on your Instagram business page.

Here’s an example below: 

The biggest advantage of having your shop on Instagram is the fact that you don’t even need an e-commerce website set up and start selling. Once you meet all requirements to set up your shop, the fun part begins. Simply post a new image of a product, tag it with its product name and price. Your followers will be ready to buy them directly from their smartphones.

All shopping aspects are integrated with the app itself, which means it facilitates the buying process and makes it much easier for the customer. No need to click links that will open your smartphone’s browser where you’ll be asked to register separately and add payment details. 

Create a following and grow your brand

The power of engaged followers on Instagram is unrivaled when compared to other social media platforms.

This is even better news for you because the luxury & fashion industries thrive on Instagram. Moreover, with Instagram Shopping, users can purchase your items directly from your photos, videos & stories. As suggested by Neil Patel, shoppable posts are ideal in Instagram to attract new customers. Such posts are very practical as it permits page visitors to click on the tagged media and be redirected to the product details instantly where a buying option is presented.

Thus, this method is much more convenient for your followers as they won’t be forced to leave Instagram to make a purchase or try to search for the item you have shared on Google.
