Over <a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/social-media-users\">4.95 billion people<\/a> are on social media, and according to stats, that number has doubled since 2015 and will continue to rise in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social commerce: selling products directly through social media channels will explode in 2024 and beyond, so it\u2019s the perfect time for eCommerce brands to get on board and drive sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shoppable Posts and Livestream Shopping<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook have introduced shoppable posts so users can buy products from their feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, livestream shopping, where influencers and brands showcase products in real time, is gaining popularity as a way to engage with audiences and drive sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, imagine tuning into a livestream where your favourite influencer is showing off a new range of skincare products. You can ask questions, see the product in action and buy\u2014all without leaving the app. It\u2019s like a virtual shopping party!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Influencer Marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Influencer marketing is still a crucial part of social commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By partnering with influencers that align with your brand, you can reach new audiences and build trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, <strong>people trust people, not ads<\/strong>.
