The product tag feature is coming to Instagram
Instagram has decided to roll out product tagging feature for all users. Using this facility, the clothes or products used by the person in the picture can also be tagged. Not only photos, Instagram's video and stories feature will also offer product tagging. Until now, only creators and business account users were given this opportunity to share photos and videos with the social media.
Initially, the feature was
opened to all Instagram users residing in the United States. This opportunity
will be available in other countries soon.
Product Tag – To use the
feature, you need to post a photo or video on Instagram as currently. No need
to do any additional trouble for this. The tag option can be seen by placing
the mouse cursor over the products. Then click on the 'Brands List' option to
select the manufacturer of the clothes or products used by the person in the
picture. There, the selected people can be tagged by typing the name of the
product or by clicking on the 'Tag People' option. Other Instagram users can
tell which brand it is by hovering the mouse cursor over the tagged products.
If someone clicks on the
tagged product, the seller of that product will also be known. As a result,
commercial organizations will use this method as a new strategy for selling
products. As a result, Instagram also wants to pay a commission on product
sales to people who post photos or videos. For this, they are testing different
aspects of launching affiliate programs with different brand organizations.
According to Instagram, about
1.6 million people currently use the product tag feature on Instagram
regularly. This number will increase many times if facilities are introduced in
all countries.
