Instagram is home to millions of brands that acquire customers from the platform. By using the Instagram product tagging feature, users can promptly buy an item that they like. The tagging feature also increases brand reachability on the platform and helps users make a swift purchase.
Moreover, brands will have control over who can tag their products using the product tag preferences in their settings. Instagram expressed the reason behind the feature to TechCrunch. The representative explained, “People come to Instagram to share and discover trends and inspiration. Product tagging will make it possible for anyone to support their favorite small businesses, share how they styled their looks along with the products they used, and more.”
Instagram product tagging is restricted to the U.S at the moment. Instagram hasn’t provided any detailed roadmap of the future roll-out of this feature to other countries. The popular social platform also added features such as music sharing, silent messages, and polls for group chats in the last few months.
