Finding the right marketing opportunity is the dream of every company out there. In these modern times, where almost half of the world’s population is connected to the internet, brands turn to social networks to advertise their products.
It was 2016 when the photo and video-sharing social networking service Instagram released a feature that caught the eye of marketers. With 400 million Instagram Stories users on a daily basis, it is one of the best ways to advertise a product or service.
Companies use Stories to bring their brands closer to the customers. Whether it’s a product promotion, an inside look, or a how-to video, by sharing this content brands take users to a shoppable page, another social platform, a blog post, or a campaign page.
