Social media has become a mainstream marketing channel where brands and consumers can interact and engage in real time. Because of the sheer number of active users on a social platform and it’s immediacy, it allows brands to introduce new products, new ingredients and new trends. Social media platforms bring shops to the consumers, instead of asking them to visit. Platforms like Instagram are being used as virtual stores with feeds acting as virtual product displays, a user can simply click on a picture to shop or educate themselves on the product, its ingredients and the benefits the consumer will reap.
