Use clear ‘call to action’ to tell people how to shop your products and update your profile bio to communicate how to shop your content now that you are on Instagram Shop.
Brand voice is the way you respond to customers, and is defined by your brand’s style of communication. Your brand voice is directed to your target audience so make it unique to your brand values and persona. Unlike other e-commerce platforms, there is no template for your brand. You have to build your brand and content with the same tone and voice your followers love.
Use a calendar, and mark down important dates and plan your products and content in advance. Use that to your advantage to promote future sales, or new product launches.
