SELLING TIPS
Sharpen your selling game
Make it official: Let fans know that they can buy from your profile
With the launch of your shop, make sure that you let fans know you’re open for business.
Start tagging: Make all content shoppable
Tag products on any Instagram surface. When a fan taps, they’re taken to the product detail page, where they can buy.
Be organised: Make your shop engaging
Make your products more inviting to browse by creating interesting product detail pages, and by organising them into collections.
Be a tease: Drive anticipation
Product launches that are pre-promoted are more likely to succeed. Use the countdown sticker in Stories to tease merch drops or back-in-stock items.
Reach further: Invite others to tag
Tap into new audiences by enabling other creators, industry professionals and publications to tag your products through shopping from creators (available with checkout only).
