As long as you manage to catch your audience&#8217;s attention with a powerful visual, and a well-written text, people will click on your ad.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Social media commerce<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is where things get interesting and actionable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all the emphasis on images and videos, social media is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">where your audience can engage with your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s the ideal solution for ecommerce businesses because you can benefit from all the features social media offers by making your business profiles shoppable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hootsuite.com\/instagram-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 billion monthly users<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Instagram is the place to be if you run an online store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get the most out of your Instagram profile, use compelling, professional photos, post them strategically, and use hashtags to make it easier for followers or customers to mention you. You&#8217;ll build your community organically and get your future ads to be truly noticed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can do ads on Instagram, but the platform&#8217;s beauty is that it has a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/help.instagram.com\/2022466637835789?helpref=uf_permalink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shoppable feature<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that allows you to tag up to five products in single image\/video posts, or up to 20 products in multi-image\/video posts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a user taps the photo, they&#8217;ll see the price of the products, and they can go even further and click again on the price of the product they want to purchase it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s an example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-62560\" src=\"https:\/\/newblog.creatopy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/motel-rocks-shoppable-instagram-ecommerce-strategy-350x600.jpg\" alt=\"motel rocks shoppable instagram ecommerce strategy\" width=\"350\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/motel-rocks-shoppable-instagram-ecommerce-strategy-350x600.jpg 350w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/motel-rocks-shoppable-instagram-ecommerce-strategy-597x1024.jpg 597w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/motel-rocks-shoppable-instagram-ecommerce-strategy-87x150.jpg 87w, https:\/\/creatopydevelopmentblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/motel-rocks-shoppable-instagram-ecommerce-strategy.jpg 639w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can do something similar on Facebook and Pinterest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a Facebook<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">user, you&#8217;ve surely seen shoppable content in various ads while scrolling through your feed or looking at your friends&#8217; stories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, you can start a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/shops\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook Shops<\/a> page, where you can make it look more like your own site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook Shops was launched in May 2020, in the context of the global pandemic, to help small businesses survive, therefore adding one more option to your strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This feature allows businesses to set up an online store accessible to customers directly from Facebook, which can be<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> customized with a cover image and colors related to their brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ll know when a photo or video from your feed can take you to a brand&#8217;s Facebook Shop page because they&#8217;ll have a shopping bag icon on them and white, clickable dots.

A\/B Testing<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be simple to know from the start what kind of visual or CTA will determine people to click on your ad to find out more about a product, but the process can be a bit more complex than that. Audiences can behave differently than you expect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, rather than just guessing what works, you can do an A\/B test and actually see what performs best and what doesn&#8217;t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For A\/B tests, you need to create at least two different versions of the same ad, while changing a single element. It can be the copy, the CTA button, the product image, or the description.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, you&#8217;ll showcase the versions of the ad to different audiences to see which one performs better. Keep in mind that your target groups should be similar in size so that you can have a relevant conclusion after analyzing the results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let your campaign run for at least a week to gather enough relevant data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This method is a great way to see what works for your marketing campaigns and where you should shift your focus in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only problem here is that you&#8217;ll need to create twice as many ads whenever you want to run an A\/B test and that can take a lot of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s where creative automation does its magic, allowing marketers and advertisers to reduce repetitive tasks and scale campaigns faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me show you how you can improve your production workflow with Creatopy\u2019s Feed Ad Builder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is the Feed Ad Builder?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Feed Ad Builder is an automation tool that allows you to generate multiple design variations based on a CSV file.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This feature makes your job easier in setting up A\/B testing campaigns.

However, there are a few things to consider before starting to work on your strategy:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><b>Know your audience<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means focusing on your existing audience and building a few different personas that you&#8217;d like to attract in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to create a profile that&#8217;s as detailed as possible, starting with age, gender, hobbies, interests, location, and salary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And don&#8217;t forget: after winning a customer, continue delighting them, and in return, you&#8217;ll get loyalty and new leads through them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will bring you lots of support, sales, and, ultimately, an extensive loyal customer base.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><b>Set specific goals\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about where you are and where you want to be, whether it&#8217;s one month or one year from now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you define your goals, think about website traffic, abandonment cart rates, conversion rates, retention, and customer acquisition costs. Set specific goals regarding all these, and you&#8217;ll have a clear direction of where you&#8217;re headed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, you&#8217;ll be able to create a solid strategy accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><b>Turn your ideas into actionable steps<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After breaking down your goals, you&#8217;ll most likely know what types of strategies to use first. Focus on a few of them, test them, and see which worked best for you. If you try all of them, it will be difficult to follow their performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, choose a few, start creating actionable strategies, and analyze the results.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ecommerce strategies you can implement to grow your business. The essential thing is to try the ones you think they fit best and constantly check their performance and effectiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test the new ways, bring more customers and never forget about your existing ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you already tested some of them?
