How to turn your users into potential customers?

Make them feel a need: If you launch a product on your Instagram account, emphasize that it is a unique product if it comes with a discount for a certain number of customers who are the first to buy the product.

Highlight the new products: Whenever you have a launch, upload it, or its construction process to see step by step how it is being designed. You will surely have several users who are looking forward to seeing it and having it in their hands.

Make a repost of your customers: Is there a customer who has uploaded a funny photo with your product? Replenish him and let him see what is important in your community. This simple gesture helps to retain the user and create a more direct link with him.

Share, connect, and interact: Once you have uploaded your photos, add a link to your store, respond to comments and use hashtags, to get broadcast on other networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

Not everything is the product: A brand is nobody without the team that creates it. This resource also builds the brand. Show your staff and share how you create what you do. This will give you more information about the experience of buying your items.

And always remember, that you are in the social network that you are, it is about talking with your users, of providing them with valuable content and that we have already passed the era in which the brand was the protagonist. Now the user is everything.
