Instagram Storiesil on palju interaktiivseid tööriistu, mida saate kasutada oma jälgijatega suhtlemiseks. Näiteks:

  • Looge küsitlusi või viktoriine, et saada tagasisidet oma toodete kohta, tööstuse uudiseid, või midagi, mis on seotud teie ettevõtte ja nišiga.
  • Kasutage küsimuste kleebiseid, et teada saada, mida teie jälgijad teie toodete ja ettevõtte kohta teada tahaksid.
  • Kasutage reaktsiooni liugureid ja nuppe, et lasta jälgijatel erinevate toodete kohta arvamust avaldada, uudised, koostööd, jne.
  • Lisage asukohakleebis, et näidata, kus teie pood asub.
  • Use a hashtag sticker to encourage customers to check out posts containing your branded hashtag.
  • Place a countdown timer to announcements of your next sale, giveaway, product launch, live, ja nii edasi.
  • Add links to external websites to drive your followers to your online shop, ajaveebi, partner site, jne.

Try different stories tools to keep your followers interested in your profile. Gradually you’ll figure out what types of stories your audience loves and be able to elevate them to get more engagement.

Küsitlused on lihtne viis klientide kaasamiseks oma lugudega

Näiteks, sa saad:

  • Kasutage lugusid uute toodete tutvustamiseks ja nende jaoks põnevuse tekitamiseks, kingitused, või koostööd.
  • Looge oma toodete kohta KKK-d ja salvestage need jaotisesse Highlights, et jälgijad saaksid teie profiililt hõlpsasti olulist teavet leida.
  • Jagage oma voo postitusi, rullid, ja elab lugude järgi, et suurendada teie sisu ulatust.
  • Kasutage kingituste ja võistluste korraldamiseks lugusid.
  • Jagage oma klientide loodud postitusi ja lugusid, mis tõstavad esile teie tooteid ja nende kasutuskogemust.

Nagu sa näed, sa saad promote your brand and engage with followers in many creative ways. Kuid, some stories work best for building awareness about your products while others are best suited to generating sales.

Before we dive into the sale-generating types of stories, we need to talk about the must-have tool every business needs to master to sell more: Instagrami ostlemine.

Please note that on April 27, 2023, Meta announced changes to Facebook and Instagram Shops across different regions. See how your Shops on Facebook and Instagram experience may be affected in the Meta Business abikeskus.

Shoppable Instagram Stories

Instagram has a tool called Instagram Shopping that allows you to create shoppable content on the platform. That includes stories, sööda postitused, rullid, lives, and IGTV.

See toimib järgmiselt:

You create an Instagram story containing your product. Then you add a shopping tag or sticker to that story. When your followers tap on the sticker, they can view the product information and price without leaving Instagram. Then they can buy your product right in the app!

Customers can shop right from your stories

Using shopping tags reduces the friction of buying products online and makes it easier for your followers to complete the purchase. That’s why if you want to generate sales with Instagram Stories, you must first enable shopping tags for your Instagram profile.

With Instagram Shopping, you also get a dedicated Shop tab in your profile. Followers can view the entire range of products you’re selling on Instagram and buy products without ever exiting out.

The Shop Tab is right under the bio

To use Instagram Shopping, you need to connect your online store to Instagram to sync your product catalog with your Instagram profile.

Ecwid by Lightspeed is an ecommerce platform that allows you to enable Instagram Shopping for your online store quickly and effortlessly. Even if your online store has dozens of products, they’ll automatically be added to your Instagram Shop.

enamgi veel, your online store and Instagram profile will be synced so you won’t need to update product information manually. Näiteks, if you set a new price for a product in your online store, it will automatically change in your Shop tab on your Instagram profile.

If you use Ecwid by Lightspeed, it’ll be very easy to start selling on Instagram and benefit from shoppable content.

After you enable Instagram Shopping for your profile, it’s time to leverage Stories to get more orders in your online store.

Lisateavet: Kuidas kasutada Instagramis tootesilte müügi suurendamiseks

Samm 1: Catch Attention

Instagram users watch hundreds of stories daily, so your content needs to stand out in that never-ending stream.

Your first story needs to catch followersattention immediately. See peaks olema loodud viisil, millest oleks võimatu mööda vaadata. Selle saavutamiseks on mitu võimalust, meeldib:

  • Muutke lugu atraktiivseks ja säravaks. Kontrastsed värvid töötavad kõige paremini. Näiteks, must ja valge või kollane ja roosa.
  • Kasutage inimeste fotosid, mis väljendavad emotsioone, nagu õnn või üllatus.
  • Lisage oma loo täiendamiseks meeldejäävat muusikat, nagu viiruslikud laulud.

Võite kasutada ka teksti, aga see peaks olema lühike, mõjuv, huvitav, and relatable to your target audience. Something that debunks a common myth works excellently here. Näiteks, “Junk food doesn’t cause acne.

Samm 2: State a Problem that Your Product Solves

When you’ve caught your followers’ attention, it’s time to introduce the problem that your audience can relate to and that your product solves. Näiteks, if you sell underwear, you can state that most women wear the wrong bra size without even knowing it.

Use reaction stickers to encourage followers to tap on them if they encounter the same problem. That’ll increase engagement and help increase your stories’ reach.

After introducing the problem your audience wants to solve, you need to give a powerful promise. Näiteks, “Here’s what actually works best for preventing premature aging,” or “Here’s a proof-fool way to identify scammers when buying an apartment.”

Samm 3: Introduce a Solution

Once followers are hooked, it’s time to introduce how your product or service can help solve the problem.

The catch here is not to make it only about your product, so don’t jump into selling right away. Keep it educational to avoid users getting annoyed and leaving. Provide helpful advice on what people should do to tackle their problem. It won’t hurt to use statistics, uurimine, or expert advice to confirm that the solution you offer works.

Your followers should understand that they received value from your stories, but there is more. Your product should be something that enhances the solution you’ve just presented or makes it even better.

Näiteks, let’s say you sell skincare and want to promote your sunscreen. Esiteks, give dermatologist-approved advice on protecting skin from sunlight that doesn’t include using your product. Siis, introduce your product to get the most out of the practices you’ve shared.

Jällegi, don’t forget to add reaction stickers or sliders to stories to let followers express their opinion and boost engagement.

Samm 4: Overcome Objections

Now you can finally focus on your product. Don’t get too pushy, kuigi! You should use this part of the story sequence to anticipate objections people can have about buying your product.

Näiteks, if you sell raincoats, show your product in action: pour some water on it to demonstrate its water-proof capabilities. Photos and videos work better than text when you need to prove your product’s quality.

If you previously used Q&A stickers in stories, you can use them to help you gather customersdoubts about your product. Näiteks, if you notice that many customers ask if they can use your raincoat in winter, you can address that doubt in this step.

It’s also a good idea to explain why your product is better than similar ones. You can do this by highlighting the unique features of your product. Näiteks, state that your raincoat has the highest temperature rating among popular alternatives.

Even when you’re tackling objections, keep your stories interactive. Use the questions sticker so people can ask their burning questions, or include a poll so they can vote on a particular topic.

Samm 5: Provide Social Proof

After you’ve presented your product, it’s essential to instill trust in the customer. Selleks, näita neile, et teised inimesed on teie toodet või teenust proovinud ja on sellega rahul.

Share customer iseloomustused, fotod, ja videod teie klientidest, kes kasutavad teie tooteid või demonstreerivad teie teenuse kasutamise tulemust. Näiteks, kui pakute keeletunde, jaga videot oma õpilasest, kes räägib võõrkeeles, mille nad tänu sinule õppisid.

Saate kuvada ka enne ja pärast fotosid klientidest, kes on ostuga rahul. Näiteks, kui müüte hoiukarpe, share before and after photos of customers who organized their messy wardrobes with your boxes.

This step helps instill trust and proves to your potential customers that your product actually solves their problems.

Samm 6: Make It Easy to Buy

Remember shoppable stories? It’s time for them now!

Add a photo or video of your product and add a shopping tag to it. Followers can click on the tag to be redirected to your product page, where they can easily complete the purchase.

If your product has different options, don’t hesitate to show them off in this step. Muidugi, don’t forget to add a shopping tag to each of them.
