Instagram Marketing Jul 21, 2021

Do you want to add your business email address, phone number or physical location to your Instagram profile? Have you added contact options but theyā€™re not showing up on your profile page? You donā€™t want to lose out on business because it was difficult for people to find contact details or physical store locations, or because of broken links. A bad link can be the difference between making a sale or losing a potential customer. Creating a system that guides potential customers to the information they need in a user-friendly way is vital for the growth and success of your business through social media.
