It\u2019s likely some of your favorite brands have already sold their products right from their Instagram account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compare that with finding their link in their bio, or clicking an external link. It\u2019s&nbsp;<em>so<\/em>&nbsp;much easier. In retrospect, social commerce should\u2019ve been implemented a long time ago. There\u2019s no need to redirect to another site, there are fewer abandoned shopping carts \u2014 it just makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So as the Omicron variant continues to prolong this nightmarish portion of the decade, social commerce is parallelly on the rise. And here\u2019s why you should consider implementing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Social commerce numbers are impressive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the reason why social commerce is booming is because almost everyone around the world is spending more time at home. More time at home equals more time on social media, and more social shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hootsuite.com\/social-media-trends\/?utm_campaign=selfserve-tier_1_campaigns-social_trends_2022-glo-none-------q1_2022&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=trendsblogpromotion&amp;mkt_tok=NDA3LU9ZWi00ODIAAAGBzWsRWS8p-Sf_c5n98P0p6gk7MOq_PIn4StdE6pl2dYCv3T3Nwm-V9vut0DYp7z5jNa2eX46jgajUf6FRq-fHnwBgQH22TeZNFvXHglU983MrN9Xg\">eMarketer predicts social commerce will be an $80 billion industry by 2025, up from $26.97 billion in 2020<\/a>.

And it\u2019s growing rapidly as the pandemic huddles people onto these social platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you should do about social shopping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-medium is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"244\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"social commerce: image of people holding up social media distribution bubbles\" class=\"wp-image-22599 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/friends-holding-up-thought-bubbles-with-social-med-2021-08-27-00-02-17-utc-300x244.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/friends-holding-up-thought-bubbles-with-social-med-2021-08-27-00-02-17-utc-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/friends-holding-up-thought-bubbles-with-social-med-2021-08-27-00-02-17-utc-500x407.jpg 500w, https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/friends-holding-up-thought-bubbles-with-social-med-2021-08-27-00-02-17-utc-768x625.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/friends-holding-up-thought-bubbles-with-social-med-2021-08-27-00-02-17-utc.jpg 903w\"><figcaption>Image: Envato<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Start before it\u2019s too late. It\u2019s a rising trend, and the sooner you do it, the sooner customers will appreciate their shopping experience with your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.pinterest.com\/en\/business\/article\/product-pins\">product Pins for Pinterest<\/a>, and open your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/shops\">shops on Facebook and Instagram<\/a>. These shops already have integrated features, like building product collections, ad services, business insights, and customer service (via social channels).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social commerce has yet to completely take over e-commerce, so don\u2019t just abandon your online storefront. But spend some time thinking about how you can make your customers\u2019 shopping experience seamless. After all, that\u2019s what social shopping is riding on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t sneeze at shoppable posts and ads. There\u2019s something exciting about seeing the products in action, and then being able to buy them in the same app. You can even arrange collections and style the presentation. It\u2019s fresh, lively, and catered to the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it just us, or are marketing trends evolving at a rapid rate?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pandemic put us all on the same page. We\u2019re all <a href=\"https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/hiring-freelancers\/how-to-best-direct-a-voice-actor-remotely\/\">stuck at home<\/a>, yet somehow we\u2019re more connected than ever. We experience the same ad fatigue, the same fatigue from affiliate marketing, heck \u2014 even stay-at-home fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that explains why these trends are popping out left and right, and growing at exponential rates. We tend to want the same things now. What a peculiar time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, with social selling on the rise, it\u2019s best to get familiar with it because it looks like it\u2019s one of those few nice things to come out of the pandemic. It serves to make the shopping experience easy, and that\u2019s something that\u2019s always going to be valuable to the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wish you the best of luck and smooth sailing creating your social commerce experience!
