Selling products on social media platforms (also known as social commerce) has emerged as a viable digital advertising strategy for ecommerce brands worldwide.<\/p>\n

With social commerce, you can leverage social media to engage with your target customers and encourage them to complete the sale on their favorite apps without ever needing to visit your website.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s incredibly convenient, especially considering 54%<\/a> of internet traffic comes from mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Check out the following social commerce best practices and examples of which brands are getting it right.\n<\/p>\n

1. Get To Know Your Audience Profile<\/h2>\n

If you want the best engagement rates, you must align your social commerce strategy with the recipients of your brand\u2019s message (your target audience<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Getting to know your target social audience does take time and effort, but it makes a difference in conversions and sales.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that you can expect better results when you convey the right message using the right platform to the right people.<\/p>\n

Instead of just using the same messages on your website, be more intentional in choosing products and wordings that align with your specific social media customer subset.<\/p>\n

Use analytics to stay informed on demographic and performance data<\/a> to help you identify which products to include in the listing and how to position them.<\/p>\n

For example, Target<\/a> created a fantastic browsing experience for their Instagram users by using smart listing based on hashtags and content engagement and constantly upgrading their product offerings.<\/p>\n

Customers who click on a product on Instagram no longer leave the app to complete the sale.<\/p>\n

2. Stay Creative With Your Social Storefront<\/h2>\n

People have already changed their shopping habits thanks to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Since most shoppers now learn about brands via social media, you must rethink your social profiles as they serve as your brand\u2019s digital storefront<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that you only have one shot at creating a good impression.<\/p>\n

Create a fantastic buying experience because your social media<\/a> profile\u2019s ambiance is just as important as the products you sell.<\/p>\n

You can attract repeat business by making a winning customer experience backed by quality products.<\/p>\n

For example, The Tiny Tassel<\/a> retail shop has a digital storefront via their Facebook Shop.<\/p>\n

They created product pages specifically for Facebook with information like style, material, and shipping details.<\/p>\n

All their listings provide value and build trust, which is essential to attract new customers to make their first purchase.<\/p>\n

3. Schedule Consistent Promotional Posts<\/h2>\n

Creating promotional posts is an excellent way to share more product details, such as close-up product shots, short demos, and walk-throughs.<\/p>\n

You can even add links to your posts which helps you:<\/p>\n
