Latest Updates of 2025💡
As of 2025, here is the latest update - Ecommerce is going to fade in 2025 as per a research report by META, there was a 57% increase in spends on Quick commerce by Genzees in 2024 and this is only going to increase in 2025.
Convenience and instant delivery is one of the prime reasons people have started ordering their skin care, hair care, groceries, festive decors, Earbuds and home needs on platforms like Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy instamart.
While these are few niches that have been dominating quick commerce, it is expected comfort and sports clothing would be other sector that would be on rise - so listen to me carefully, the smartest strategy for 2025 would be how can your product be listed on quick commerce and how can you use social media to tell your customers that your product is just few minutes away. 2025 because 87% of Genz discovered a new product through META platforms.
So tell me this, what did you last order from any of the quick commerce stores?

10 Things You Should Stop Doing on Instagram As you navigate your Instagram journey, it's essential to refine your approach for optimal engagement and authenticity.
Here are ten practices to reconsider:
🔹Limit the Use of Excessive Hashtags
Avoid cluttering your posts with unnecessary hashtags. Focus on a few relevant ones that truly resonate with your content and audience.
🔹Enhance Carousel Length
Instead of posting short carousels, aim for longer ones that provide more value and depth. This can keep your audience engaged and encourage them to swipe through.
🔹Incorporate Trending Music in Carousels
Ensure your carousels feature trending music to enhance viewer engagement. Music can significantly elevate the overall impact of your content.
🔹Diversify Your Audio Choices
While trending music can be effective, it’s important to experiment with original music as well. This can help differentiate your content and showcase your unique style.
🔹Optimize Content Frequency
Rather than overwhelming your audience with frequent posts, focus on quality over quantity. Aim for a more strategic approach to content sharing.
🔹Conduct Thorough Research
Avoid simply replicating popular content on Instagram. Take the time to research and innovate, ensuring your posts offer something fresh and unique.
🔹Establish Your Unique Identity
While trends can be tempting, strive to create your own distinctive style. This will help you stand out and build a loyal following.
🔹Be Cautious with Automation
Don’t take automation tools for granted. Use them wisely to enhance your efficiency without sacrificing authenticity in your interactions.
🔹Embrace Authentic Storytelling
Rather than sticking to a scripted format, let your personality shine through storytelling. This approach fosters a deeper connection with your audience.
🔹Be Patient with Content Performance
Instead of posting too frequently, allow your high-performing content the time it needs to mature. This can lead to better engagement and visibility.
By reevaluating these practices, you can enhance your Instagram strategy and cultivate a more authentic and engaging presence.
