Social media marketing plays an integral role in a business’ marketing communication today. It is an entirely new way to reach your main audience and communicate with your customers. There are many success stories for marketing in social media.

The fact that Instagram has the ability to attract a bunch of famous people to set up their own account has become an advantage to these business sellers. The sellers then will engage all these famous Instagrammers to help them to advertise their product with a minimal fee.

Advertising on Instagram is a huge advantage for these sellers as there’s no third-party involved, no fancy media or agency budget needed, so it’s just between them and the owner of the account. It also gives them direct connection as once these Instagrammers post up a post that tagged their account, it will pique the followers’ interest and invited them to click on it.

Once they reached the sellers’ page, there are chances that they will click on “follow” if interested and this will increase their number of followers which means increased sales for businesses and the chances of conversions from followers to active brand buyers.

The question now is…
