5 Product selling strategies
Product selling planning
1. Use Social Media Marketing
Here are so many more ways to get our product to our customers than ever
before. What’s the best part? They’re all free. We can use social media such as
Facebook, Twitter, and your blog to our advantage. By building relationships
with your customers through these channels we can access more people than
ever.
Here are strategies that will aid us in using social media to sell our products:
A major challenge in marketing our product on Instagram lies in figuring out how
we can use the social media platform to build hype around our product and get
people engaged. One of the answers to that question is creating a time table. We
will build a carefully planned and well thought-out time table that will account for
all of the posts we will make for the entirety of our marketing campaign. This will
range from teasing our product all the way to the product’s release. A time table is
a critical component for having an effective social media campaign.
Use hashtags effectively
One of the most used features on Instagram is the hashtag. Using hashtags that are
relevant to our brand and product is critical to maximizing exposure among your
followers. For example, if you are a film company and want to use Instagram to
market your products, using hashtags like #action, #adventure, #horror or others
that describe the genre of your movie will be help your post become more relevant.
Take inspiration from similar brands
We will take inspiration from existing brands that have successfully used
Instagram to sell their product to consumers will definitely bolster your brand’s
marketing strategy. Seeing what other similar companies have already done will
help bring fresh insight into our marketing campaign. While at it, we will make
sure that we do not come across as a ‘copy-cat’ brand. That could hurt our business
a lot more than help.
Create contests
An excellent strategy for your Instagram marketing campaign is to actively engage
your followers with contests. Before we initiate an Instagram marketing
campaign,we always have funds or extra products set aside for a contest. Creating
a contest with clear goals for the participants, and a well-structured set of rules to
define what users must do to be in the running for the grand prize is a valuable
asset for any marketing campaign. Users will share our posts on their social media
feeds on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, allowing our marketing campaign to
grow much larger than what it would be if we did not create a contest.
Gain endorsements
We will get popular people or companies to endorse our product on their Instagram
and other social media accounts .However, if done properly, it can significantly
improve our marketing campaign. Never underestimate how much an endorsement
from a celebrity or large company will positively influence our marketing
campaign.
Gratify our followers
One of the best ways to build a brand and sell on Instagram is by gratifying your
followers. We could do this by reposting their content to your followers. This is
similar to retweeting on Twitter. The best way to make our followers happy is by
routinely reposting some of the best content from your followers and duly crediting
them for this. This helps our followers with greater reach and subsequently
establishes a positive image for our brand.
We will always respond to every comment of our customer, comments are visible
to all our customers’ followers as well and by engaging with them, we also open
up our reach and visibility to their followers. This is a great platform to generate
new customers for your business.
We will focus on the benefits of what makes our product better than others.
I would love to hear how some of these strategies are helping us build our online
empire so once we have started our campaigns and promotions let all the readers
know by posting our story in the comments section below.
