From a marketing standpoint, we have seen social media marketing transform from simply being a place to organically grow an audience and to build credibility, to a place where users can access us 24/7, book appointments and even buy our products with the click of a button.

Over 70% of Instagram users have purchased a product on the app and sites like Pintrest still have evolved so much so that they are now primarily used as a way for consumers to find new and interesting products.

On top of this, these platforms are constantly making it easier for businesses to reach consumers. E-commerce stores now have a way to create stoppable posts making it as simple as a click of a button for your consumers to buy from you.

Even though this is predominately offered to American businesses at this time, Instagram does a great job of not only making this simple from the user size, they have made it fairly easy for business as well. Check out the guide here.
