If you want to sell, you must have products that have strong visual or aesthetic appeal


.

Instagram is a social media platform that focuses on visuals. If you want to sell, you should have products that have a strong visual appeal or aesthetic, make sure all pictures and designs are high-quality. In addition, it is very important to have short but meaningful captions and descriptions of the items because people want to know information about the product in a simple way, in case you need to add all the specs we highly recommend you to do it in pictures instead of the caption.




It's not just about publishing products; you need to have very good images and attractive content.

.

It is not only about posting your products; you need to have amazing visuals but also engaging content. People now look for product review reels or images, before and after pictures, how-to images or short videos, testimonials, 1 min audio clips with nice images, etc. Think about how you could use these to create nice content for your business.


Most people check Instagram to look for content they care about, and to interact with brands, so make sure to like/answer comments, this is a nice way to show your audience you care about them and that you have great customer service.
