1. INSTAGRAM:

LEARN

It’s a way to understand meet the demand of a potential costumer.

According to a survey by the English NGO Hubbub, 79% of 1,000 young people between the ages of 18 and 25 admitted to having been influenced by social networks for their style, led by Instagram (55%)

The story of Sezane, a French brand:

The young entrepreneur, Morgane Sézalory, started by selling her sister’s vintage clothes, customized by her on eBay. These clothes were sold so fast that in 2007, the young woman opened her first e-shop for vintage clothing.

The brand is thus its own media, with a real web identity, marked by a constant presence on the social networks. Sézane has its own universe, with a refined style, products made in France. For Morgane Sézalory, Instagram is a perfect communication tool, since it is directly her clients who comment, like or share herpublications. She establishes a direct link with them.

 Instagram has recently installed various functionalities allowing users to facilitate the purchase, such as displaying the price of a piece of clothing on a photo, or direct redirection to the e-shop.

Through this example, we understand the importance of Instagram and social networks because it’s a new way to promote a product.
