Instagram and TikTok are the wild west of social media platforms these days. They seem untamed, with only the masterful few being able to conquer them. So, with this frontier of videos and photos in front of us… how can we use them to our advantage within the promotional products industry? Luckily, these platforms go hand-in-hand when it comes to what you can do with them – and we have a few ideas for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Show Off the Hottest Trends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Consistently, we see that shirts and bags almost always take the top spot for searches in SAGE Total Access.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that apparel and accessories are some of the biggest sellers in the promotional products industry – and it’s important to keep up with fashion trends as they continue to shift. Things like fanny packs, color-blocked shirts, and bright primary colors have made a massive comeback from the 80s and 90s. Staples Promo Products Canada does a great job highlighting this by featuring a link to their Fall + Winter Apparel Guide on their Instagram. Featuring products on your Instagram or TikTok account is a great way to inspire those searching the tags for ideas. Plus, you can show off that you know what you\u2019re talking about regarding fashion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Use Tags!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of tags\u2026 the way that Instagram and TikTok work is through tags or hashtags (#). You can\u2019t expect anyone to find your company without tagging your products\/services in the description of your video. #PromoProducts, #PromotionalProducts, and #Swag are all great places to start. If you\u2019re showing off a branded item for a company, tag them in the post with a # and @ their company like Big Bunny Creative did in this post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
