New Instagram Plugin: Turn Social Media Into Website Social Proof (Zipify Pages)

Instagram is a social media platform that continues to branch out into ecommerce — according to Shopify, 80% of users follow at least one business account*.

It’s also evolved the way brands market content and engage with their customers, giving users everything from still images to video, Instagram Live, and Instagram Shop.

But to take advantage of this platform you need to grow profile visibility: the more people who see your organic posts and brand ads, the better your chances of gaining new followers and customers.

So to help get more eyeballs on your Instagram profile (and to boost social proof on your website) we just released the new: Instagram Plugin for Zipify Pages.

Now, you can take the posts from your Instagram feed and display them on your Zipify landing pages through an interactive, scrollable widget.

The Reasons Why Both Big and Small Brands Love Instagram

Instagram is currently the 4th most used social platform and is on a steady growth trajectory. For business owners, this means more potential customers.

Instagram is both user-friendly and brand-friendly, making it easy to buy and sell on their platform. In fact, nearly 11% of US social media users shop on Instagram.

Business owners also get the added benefits of:

  • Over 1 billion monthly active users
  • 4x the organic reach as Facebook
  • Brand-friendly algorithm

And as new business features are released and more brand-friendly policies get introduced, Instagram will only become a more powerful tool for ecommerce merchants — making it the perfect social platform for selling your products.

And when you combine your Instagram feed with Zipify landing pages, you increase your chances of earning extra revenue and boosting your average order value.
