Twitter’s new eCommerce feature
Twitter recently took new steps into eCommerce by testing a shopping module on business profiles. ‘Shop Module’ is now being tested with a selection of brands in the US. This new feature allows brands to showcase their products to Twitter users directly on their business’ profile. Users will then be able to scroll and tap through a myriad of product images in the module until they find a product right for them.
As Twitter expands to be a discovery network for eCommerce products, ‘Shop Module’ will become a key aspect of brands’ 2021 holiday marketing strategy. By curating your brand’s holiday favorites on your profile’s shopping module, it has never been easier for shoppers to find the inspiration and products they are looking for.
