What is Product Tagging for Reels?
Here’s a quick spiel for those who haven’t used it before. You would have noticed a growing trend in popularity of short form videos across social platforms, especially on TikTok and Instagram – that’s amplifying the e-commerce shopping experience for both small and large brands around the world.
These video clips on Instagram – called Reels, allows you to create videos up to 90 seconds long with options to edit and add design effects or audio within the app. Your audience can then watch reels via your instagram feed, tap ‘view products’ to learn about the product and make purchases within video content. Nice!

Product Tagging for Success $$$
Product tagging drives product discovery and sales, which means they have the potential to be discovered and purchased by millions of people using Instagram. It’s a great way to demonstrate the value of your product, what your brand is all about and showcase specific features to both new and existing audiences.
Why should you tag products in your reels? Alongside product discovery, it can be an educational tool for potential buyers to see how your product works. It’s also an opportunity for product collaborations with other influencers for brands looking to work together to drive mutually beneficial outcomes i.e sales!
Given the increasing amount of people using social media, there is a growing trend of unplanned purchases being made simply from seeing products through high-quality reels too. This is where brands and businesses need to hop on the short form video train, surprise and delight their audience and make it easy and attractive for them to buy the products they see during their social travels!
