Testing Instagram Shopping posts as ads
The concept of single click purchase has been the need of the hour. Brands like Amazon are making it more and more easier for users to purchase products either with just a single click or even set purchases on auto-reminder and auto-subscription modes.
No wonder, instagram shopping ads is the new focus feature today.
With an idea to empower users and enable them a seamless easy shopping experience, few selected businesses will be able to test this experience in their feeds.
How it is supposed to work: Shoppers who tap on these ads will be taken to a product description page within Instagram and can proceed to purchase from the business’ mobile site itself.
About Instagram NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH:

As explained by Pinterest:
“We hear from many Pinners that Pinterest is how they end their days – by looking at inspirational plans and calming Pins before dozing off (relaxing videos are up 474% and searches for calming phone backgrounds are up 77%). We’ve also heard though, that the white background can be too bright when they’re winding down with recipes, dream travels and latest fashion finds.”
