The way we shop has evolved a lot in the last couple of years. We went from shopping in physical stores to ordering everything online – even our groceries. But with the developments on social media, how do we sell products here? We know you’re wondering about this and you’re definitely not the only one. That’s why the largest social media platforms have features that help you sell your products on their platform.




But why make social shoppable?


What makes shoppable posts so effective in your social media is that it provides the shortest customer journey possible. It makes shopping a simple and efficient experience. An advantage of making the experience easy and simple for the consumer is that they will spend less time on decision-making and contemplating. In short: customers are less likely to empty their carts before checking out.


A mistake to avoid


A mistake often made by businesses is forgetting that social media in the essence are social platforms. Therefore, treat shoppable posts like the ones in the rest of your feed. Engage with customers in the comment section and encourage likes and shares. Important to remember is that all your posts need to resonate with your target audience in order to be effective. Selling your products on the wrong social platform is another mistake that is sometimes made. A platform’s overall popularity may not mean it’s an effective tool to reach your ideal customers. A great tip is to analyze your target group beforehand to get a better understanding as to where they like to spend time and what they like to see on that platform.


Let’s just make it easier


One of the best online platforms and tools to help you with your shoppable posts is Shopify. If your startup does not have a website yet it might be a great option for you. Shopify is one of the most advanced platforms when it comes to social selling. It not only offers great solutions and options for your social media shoppable content but also makes it easier for customers to buy your product.
