Instagram becomes new venue for startup companies
Lately, more and more companies have created Instagram accounts to advertise their products to a wider range of people. From foods to makeup products, clothing to home decor, and books to hair salons, Instagram has it all. Since companies can now have their own Instagram accounts, they are able to follow people and communicate with a wider audience.
Sophomore Sophie Lamphier found one of her favorite places to shop, Terra Novva, a jewelry website, from Instagram. Terra Novva’s account followed Lamphier on Instagram, and she decided to look at the jewelry. Now, Lamphier buys all of her favorite jewelry from Terra Novva.
“I love finding new companies on Instagram and it’s fun to follow their accounts because you find out when the best sales are,” said Lamphier. Terra Novva is just one of the thousands of companies available on Instagram. Here are some companies to check out:
