It sells t-shirts specially catered to Pomeranians; which are of course more expensive than poodles. Perhaps due to the maintenance of the long fur and its cuteness. It’s small and easy to maintain. Unlike Pincher, which is almost hamster size, this breed could also bark loudly and guard your home. Dogs love to please their owners and will do whatever it takes to get their attention, including tearing up tissue papers. My pet Pomeranian, Leia, loves to escape from its play pen and let you know how smart she is. Well, I don’t condone to this and put her in her cage for a while before letting her our again. As I am pretty busy, I cannot massage her at least 10 minutes daily, which she loves very much. I need to work too and earn some moolah for retirement. So, she has to play with her many toys and play by herself.

Got an iPhone X 256GB May 3, 2018 bizadmin I got myself a new iPhone X with high memory storage of 256GB for photos and videos to upload on social media. It costs a whopping RM 5,899 without warranty charge of additional 800. I paid in a lump sum as the feature to pay by installments were not available at that time using the POS. It was my initial plan to buy a cheaper iPhone 8 of 256GB with gold colour, but all the 256GB versions were sold out at the Genting outlet on the 3rd or 4th floor. I also stayed one night free at First World Hotel Genting Resorts as a complimentary gift for being a Genting member and frequent room check-ins. Gambling is a Big No-No in my family and we were there to enjoy the cool mountain air while absorbing in the sights and sounds of nature and man-made attractions. Below is an Instagram video of the trip on the way up there: See Video and Like it. In the meantime, I also take surveys like Toluna where you can join my link here >> Join Toluna Surveys. I had already exchanged the points for vouchers like AEON from other surveys and Toluna is a new kid on the block. I also dined at Ah Yat Abalone Kitchen Restaurant with my spouse and it was sumptuous. More photos here >> Awesome photos There’s sauteed scallops with green kale and roasted macadamia nuts with sesame seeds and carrots, mini buddha jump over the wall, fried rice with seafood and sauteed fish slices with ginger and spring onions.

How to Sell on Instagram – 6 Tips that Actually Work March 27, 2018 bizadmin Learning how to sell on Instagram offers businesses of all sizes incredible opportunities to reach their target audience and drive sales. In September 2017, Instagram announced their business community has grown to two million advertisers, up from one million advertisers back in March. From major brands to local mom-and-pop shops, businesses around the world are driving proven results with Instagram. According to a recent report, 75 percent of Instagram users take action, such as visiting a website or making a purchase, after looking at Instagram ads! 1) Optimize Your Instagram Business Profile Instagram profiles are becoming the new homepage, as more and more consumers are turning to Instagram instead of Google to search for brands. This means you should be spending as much time and effort curating a beautifully-designed Instagram feed as you would creating your website. Your Instagram Business profile should include: Profile photo: Choose a photo that is on-brand (like a logo) which makes your company easy to identify. A Well-Crafted Bio: Your bio should include a clear description of your business that speaks to your audience. Let them know exactly what you have to offer. Link to shop: The URL section of your bio is the only clickable link you can add to your Instagram page â so make sure youâre using it! This is a great place to drive traffic from your individual posts and Stories. Creating a unique URL for this section will also give you the opportunity to track visits to your website from Instagram! 2) Using Instagram Ads to Reach Your Target Audience With continued changes to the Instagram algorithm and heightened competition to have your content be seen, Instagram ads will become a critical part of Instagram marketing strategy for businesses. Once youâve set up a Business profile on Instagram, you can then decide how much you want spend, where youâd like the ad to be seen and how long you want to run it for. Instagram allows businesses a variety of targeting options to best suit your businesses needs. Running your own Instagram ad campaign isnât that difficult, but it can be intimidating to many small business owners and influencers who havenât done it before. Fortunately, itâs not as hard as you think! The easiest way to run ads is by promoting posts youâve shared on Instagram. Just select the post you want to boost, then hit the âpromoteâ button once itâs posted. Instagram will automatically pull in a âsimilar audienceâ that you can share the post to, or you can easily create your own audience in the app by choosing an interest, age range, and the genders you want to promote to. Once youâve set up your audience and budget, make sure to give your ad one last look over before hitting âConfirm.â You can start with a small budget and run your ad for a few days to test things out. To track how your ad is performing, click âView Resultsâ in the bottom left corner of your ad. Remember, Instagram Ads can take practice, so make sure you continue to tweak your boosted posts and audiences until you get the results you want! The best Instagram ads for driving ecommerce sales includes messaging that clearly explains how to make a purchase. Take @thebouqsco for example. In the example below, they use the call-to-action âShop Now and saveâ in the caption followed by a short description of the offer. They also use âShop Nowâ as a call-to-action for the button to to encourage users to make the purchase. Basically, The Bouqs Co. simplifies the buying process. The ad makes it super clear what they are offering without any extra distraction. Itâs important you keep your messaging simple, not to distract users from the goal of your post. How to Sell on Instagram with Instagram Stories Ads In March 2017, Instagram released advertising in Stories, offering brands yet another paid opportunity to reach more people. These immersive, full screen ads lets your business use targeting and reach capabilities that make your ads personally relevant to the people you want to reach. While photo ads will likely retain their top spot well into 2018, statistics show that Instagram Stories ads will see the most growth. In fact, â30% of businesses plan to create Instagram Stories ads in 2018, while only 8% did in 2017â. These ads pop up in between Instagram Stories of accounts you follow and can make a large impact on potential customers: Youâll notice a small âSponsoredâ tag in the top right corner and a Call-To-Action (âLearn Moreâ) at the bottom of these ads. Again, adding an additional call-to-action at the bottom of your ad can also be helpful for those interested in learning more. You have a choice in Instagram Ads to create either a video or a photo. Whichever you choose, make sure your initial clip is attention-grabbing. Youâll need to catch the eyes of those who quickly tap through stories. Instagram Stories have become a great way for businesses to make deeper connections with their followers and show off their brandâs personality. In 2017 Instagram reported âone in five stories on Instagram gets a direct message from its viewers.â Instagram Stories offer you chance to connect with their followers on a daily basis, without cluttering up your feed. Make sure youâre not missing out on this great opportunity to connect with future customers! 3) Creating Instagram Stories With Product Links Instagram Stories is exploding in popularity, and the feature has over 300 million daily active users, more than double Snapchat! As Instagram Stories continues to grow in popularity, itâs no surprise businesses are continuing to find new and creative ways they can sell using this feature. Instagram Stories is the perfect opportunity for businesses to engage with audiences on a more frequent and personal basis. Many brands use Instagram Stories to capture their products in action, promote special offers or showcase new items. In 2017, Instagram graced users with 10,000 followers or more the ability to add links to Instagram Stories, which was great news for retail brands and publishers. This is a huge Instagram trend right now, and can help you grow your email list, sell products, drive traffic, and more. When adding a link to Instagram Stories, youâll notice a small arrow and âSee Moreâ text appear at the bottom of your image. Since this small text may be unnoticed, you can add text directing users to âSwipe Upâ for added visibility. The Instagram algorithm now takes into account all the interactions you receive on your Instagram Stories as well, such as replies or when your stories are sent to someone. The more that a user interacts with your Instagram Stories, the more likely your posts will show up in their feed. A great Instagram hack to get around the algorithm is to take advantage of Instagram Stories engagement opportunities, including the polling feature or âSwipe Upâ option (if you have over 10k followers). Weâve also been seeing a lot of micro-influencers telling their followers to âDM me for a direct link to this product!â which is a great way to drive people to your inbox, build relationships with your followers, and ultimately increase the chance of your posts showing up on their feed. These are all great tactics to drive your customers to engage with your brand and a way to make sure you stay âtop of mindâ with your audience. 4) Building a Shoppable Instagram Feed This year you can also expect to see more of Instagram and Shopifyâs new shopping feature integration, as itâs set to be released to Shopifyâs wider user base in 2018! According to Shopify and TechCrunch, âInstagram is already a âsignificantâ driver of Shopify merchant store traffic, so being able to convert said traffic right on the platform instead of round-tripping could result in a big boost of additional sales.â Instagramâs shopping feature allows businesses to tag products that are available for sale, and then let users purchase them directly within the app. Instagram product tagging is currently in testing and only available to an initial group of Shopify businesses however once the test phase is complete, this feature will be available to everyone. Shopify plugins like Shoppable Instagram Galleries makes it easier than ever for your business to make sales. Their Instant Purchases feature lets visitors add to cart and buy the liked items directly from images on your feed! Businesses can create a custom gallery to showcase their products, then simply add the galleryâs link to their Instagram profile bio. Creating a shoppable Instagram feed like Laterâs Linkin.bio feature is a popular strategy for businesses looking to drive sales through Instagram. Here you can see @meundies custom URL in their bio, where they can direct users through post captions and Instagram stories: Linkin.bio is a landing page that resembles your Instagram feed and displays your posts as clickable images that you can link directly to a product page. This makes it easy to build a clickable, shoppable feed that links your audience straight to your content. You can also link to multiple websites and and pages, all without changing the link in your bio: When one of your followers clicks on the link in your bio, theyâll be taken to a web and mobile-optimized landing page that resembles your Instagram feed and displays your Instagram posts as clickable images. When your followers visit your Linkin.bio page, they can click on any of your Instagram posts to visit the product page that your photo is about. 5) Offering Instagram-Only Promotions Shoppers love a good sale or promotion. Instagram is the perfect place to promote a sale, new product launch or discount code exclusively to your followers. You can either add your promo information in a caption or in Instagram Stories, encouraging users to click the link in your bio to take advantage of the offer. If youâre running an Instagram-exclusive promotion, you also can create a teaser on your other social networks to drive traffic to your Instagram business profile. Promoting exclusive Instagram-only promotions (for example, a special discount code for your followers) among your other social networks will encourage audiences to follow your Instagram account to make sure they donât miss out on future offers. 6) Establish Partnerships with Instagram Influencers Instagram influencers continue to be a hot topic as collaborations and sponsorships have nearly replaced traditional ads and are a huge part of a social media strategies today. Consumers today donât trust traditional advertising â they trust people. Recent research from Nielsen shows that consumers trust personal recommendations above brand advertisements. The easier it is for a customer to picture themselves using your product, the easier it will be to sell to them. Influencer marketing gives brands a unique opportunity to reach a niche and engaged audience. Although it may initially seem like a risk to invest large amounts of money into influencer marketing, itâs important to consider exactly what you are paying for. Consider advertisers that spend upwards of $5 million (excluding production costs) for a 30-second Super Bowl commercial to reach more than 100 million viewers â who may or may not be the brandâs target audience. A series of Instagram posts by a fashion blogger with 500,000 followers and a cult-following, could sell out an entire product line within 24 hours. If you donât have the budget to partner with a big influencer, consider finding a micro-influencer. These influencers have a significant, but not massive following, usually ranging anywhere from 1,000 to 100,000 followers. Micro-influencers are typically much more willing to do an âin-kindâ agreement, trading product for promotion. If youâre a small business, investing in micro-influencers could be a great way to help drive potential customers to your page. 79% of businesses rank engagement as the most important factor when evaluating who is an ideal influencer, followed by quality of followers (70%) and industry or niche (67%). Itâs important you spend more time thinking about your strategy and campaign goals before getting started on your influencer marketing campaign. Setting up crystal clear goals will drive initial planning decisions and help you determine the best fit for your partnership. While working with an influencer, itâs important to make the paid partnership feel as natural as possible. Sitting an influencer in a chair to talk about how great your product is will likely come off as an advertisement and will quickly lose your viewerâs attention. For example, lifestyle blogger Jacey Durprieâs latest partnership with Biossance aligns perfectly with her brand, as she frequently shows off her morning routine and favorite products. She keeps it conversational, asking her followers their favorite âbeauty hacksâ and shares one of her own: The partnership feels very natural, without looking like a typical advertisement. Whichever route you chose, influencer marketing is here to stay. Influencer marketing is a great way for you to tap into a niche and engaged audience, to build brand awareness and most importantly, drive sales. Figuring out how to sell on Instagram will take some practice in order to determine what methods work best for your business.
