What can you do for your customers on Instagram?

Picture this: the year is 2040. You open Instagram on your phone, and after scrolling past Apple’s announcement of the iPhone 31 (;D) and your college acquaintance’s third marriage, you see it.

A jacket.

You love that jacket. You’ve wanted a lightweight jacket like that for the summer, and it’s being sold by one of your favorite eco-friendly and sustainable brands.

You press the one-touch buy button. Instagram chooses your correct size based on your saved measurements, applies a promotion the company is running (saving you a cool 10%), and withdraws the right amount of cryptocurrency from your saved payment information. It arrives on your doorstep within one hour by drone.

Okay, let’s rewind to 2023. Sure, maybe that’s the fantastic dream of shopping on Instagram in the future, but the current reality is pretty cool too!

So, as an eCommerce seller, what can you do for your customers on Instagram right now?

User-generated content
