The secret weapon for small businesses.
Instagram has evolved from a place to post selfies, travel pics, and what you ate for dinner to a platform that people are using to make money. The latest trend is for small businesses that don’t have websites to sell their goods via the social media channel.
For instance, if you run a small business and you want to sell your products online but you don’t have the money, or any knowledge of building websites, things can get a little tricky. However, as long as you have a smartphone, a data connection, WhatsApp, and an Instagram account, you have all the working parts required to create a basic online store.
Your customers can view your products on Instagram and you can arrange pick-up, delivery, and even returns through WhatsApp. The beauty of all of this is there’s no need to pay for 3rd party software or install anything – simply list your WhatsApp number on your Instagram profile along with instructions on each post and customers will get in touch.
With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite small business in the UAE who are already putting this business model to good use…
