Why do you think that Instagram is a booming business?
Many businesses have relied on offline marketing campaigns before the Covid 19 pandemic. But with the wake of this deadly pandemic situation, small businesses were severely threatened. People were stuck at homes and they were helpless. Because of that everyone was keen on new methods to carry out their businesses and they all were started to move online and flocked to social media platforms like Instagram where a large pool of potential customers can be attracted. Hence millions of small businesses around the world moved to online platforms. Further, Instagram also understood the gravity of this crisis and added some new features like adding new links to additional resources as they become available to check again and again with the latest information. This is why I believe Instagram is a booming business.
