Sharing an update to social media
The process for sharing an update using your social media accounts is actually super simple. You can simply re-use the message you've just created via email. We'll do the heavy lifting for you! (If you're new to Socialshop sharing, please click here to read our introduction guide)
Using our example below, we'll show you how to post to your Instagram account.
1. Using the same email message (or create a new one if you'd like), click on the Instagram icon from the top tool bar. You can tap on Share and your device's share menu will appear on your screen.
2. After selecting Instagram, you will then be prompted to select between sharing your product(s) as a post, your story or by private message.
3. Once you have chosen how you wish to share your update, you will be prompted to add a caption and/or edits of your choosing. Don't forget to always review your messages/captions prior to sharing your update!
The process for other social platforms is the same. Now you can boost your sales in all your channels!
