How Fashion Industry Promoting a Business through Social Network

Social Media has taken over the world, and your business is living under a rock if it still has not realized the potential of business promotion through social media for getting sales. The launch of platforms like Facebook and Instagram has changed the way businesses operate and draw out their strategies to promotes and connect with customers. A well-maintained and growing social media marketing following for any business can be one of it’s greatest assets. One industry which mainly benefits from the rise of social media is the fashion industry, and in this article, I would talk about how the fashion industry uses social media marketing to its advantage.

Facebook

I’ll start by talking about the king of social media, i.e., Facebook. Facebook provides numerous opportunities for businesses to interact with their customers and to get their message across through effective segmentation and personalized promotion too. All sorts of media format like images, texts or videos of any size and duration can be uploaded and then sponsored to reach an even greater market. Apart from being the most used social media platform (2.23 billion monthly users), it also provides businesses to examine how they view their posts through reactions (love, haha, angry) on the posts. For instance, you can upload a picture of the latest summer work look, and based on the reactions you can estimate what people thought about it.

Instagram

Another massive social media platform is Instagram, which has an active user base of 1 billion. Backed by great filters and photo editing capabilities, Instagram is the top spot for users interested in photography and daily uploads. They recently have also included a ‘see more’ option, which when connected with a story or a post, directs the viewers to the actual business site. To give an example, cocktail attire women can be displayed on an Instagram story, and the see more option will then take the viewers directly to the link where they can buy that dress.

Youtube

On youtube, the fashion businesses make partnerships with YouTubers and influencers to incorporate their products into their videos, easily giving them millions of views in an instant. Youtube is also an excellent option for high-quality video uploads and behind the scenes videos, which viewers love and helps build a connection and trust with the business.

Snapchat

Talking about behind the scenes, Snapchat provides the viewers with a live and exclusive look at events, such as a fashion week, through the lenses of designers and models. Snapchat users feel an informal and personal experience through snapchat, as they are connected with the daily lives and happenings of fashion designers and influencers.

Hashtags

Now that we have talked about a few major social media platforms, I’ll shift gears to a useful tool every social media has which is the use of hashtags. Using hashtags can easily expose your content and create a buzz about it throughout social media. Platforms like twitter then show which hashtags are trending worldwide, making even more people aware and wanting to get into the action. A catchy hashtag can be used alongside multiple platforms and media types, and this can be the differentiating factor between the social media promotion of a fashion brand to its competitors.

Conclusion

As mentioned before, the fashion industry is effectively using social media in the promotion of their businesses. They promote their businesses by integrating multiple social media platforms, using the major selling points of each to their advantage. Backed by the endorsements of celebrities and social media influencers and effective buzz creation through hashtags, the fashion industry has nailed their promotion game.
