Tip of the Month
Instagram is invaluable for eCommerce brands. If you are an eCommerce brand that isn’t using Instagram, you’re missing out big time. 6 in 10 online adults have Instagram accounts and 63% of Americans use the service daily1. Though the platform does offer advertising plans, a free business account gives you unrestricted access to all users via organic methods. Using hashtags, the most popular method, allows your posts to show up on subscribed user feeds with little extra effort. The combination of consistent hashtags and consistent posting creates repetition and brand awareness while spending nothing on marketing. Between tagging and Instagram’s “Discover” feature, the possibility of brand exposure is much larger than many other social media platforms. Of course, it’s always a good idea to cross-post social media updates, which is made easy with Instagram’s sharing feature. While publishing your content, you can choose to link Facebook, Twitter, and other accounts to instantly publish to all platforms. It’s a great way to engage customers and help the world experience your fabulous product or service.

Just for Laughs
A dog walked into the telegram office one day. He took out a blank form and wrote on it:
“Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”
Then he handed it to the clerk. The clerk examined the paper and said to the dog, “You know there are only nine words here? You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”
The dog replied, “But that would make no sense at all!”
Our best for your success!
