Here's an interactive link in bio tool for your Small business Instagram account

If you run a small business on Instagram, you know how useful link in bio can be. A single link in your bio that contains all the information – about your products, your business, yourself, payment info, and more. 

Conventionally, link in bio pages look like this: 

But we thought, why not take your link in the bio up a notch and turn it into a mini-website or a checkout store? Wouldn’t it be fun? 

Disclaimer: Before anyone kills me for plugging in bizlite here, please check the video below:

Now, isn’t it cool? It not only gives you an entire catalog (without having an eCommerce store) but users can directly checkout, pay, and even see how the product works. With bizlite you can more than just links to your bio. You can add: 

  • Product links 
  • Your digital catalog (Can be made using your product images and name) 
  • Your support phone number or Whatsapp number 
  • PDF catalog
  • YouTube videos to show how your product works
  • Product images
  • Testimonials
  • Contact form, and a lot more. 

 

The cherry on top – customers can directly place orders from bizlite link for which you’ll receive a ping on your Whatsapp number (without even a business account). So, this means no guidelines/policy issues. 

Plus, you can get analytics and reports on how many people visited your link from bizlite dashboard. 


Isn’t it better than a plain vanilla link in bio pages that does only enough to keep your users hooked?

So, how do you create your own card and get the single link? Well, it’s simple and takes only 3 steps: 

  1. Sign up 
  2. Add your basic details 
  3. Get your card link

Now, the fun part is setting up your card with relevant links and more details about your business. 

Let’s take our own bizlite store as an example. 

We have an NFC card business that we intend to promote via Instagram. So, we created a digital catalog on Bizlite. 

Check it out here: https://cards.bizlitesolutions.com/bizlite-nfc-store 

Now for this, I created a digital card (which I showed above). It was simple and took me just 10 minutes. All I needed was: 

  • My logo and 1 cover image
  • All the links I wanted to add to my card 
  • Some basic information , like what we do and stuff. 

Once I had everything, I logged into bizlite and edited my bizlite card. 

On the first screen, I added a new cover, updated the theme design, and copy, and clicked submit. 



On the next screen, I added: 

  • Link to my digital catalog; 
  • Our store Whatsapp number; 
  • Our support email; 
  • Payment link (for direct payments) 
  • And a YouTube video showing how it works. 



Now, I could’ve added gallery images, testimonials, and stuff. But I didn’t want to clutter it for a while. So, kept it straightforward. 

Finally, I just added this link to my store account’s bio and that’s it. 

Check the account and store link here: https://instagram.com/bizlitecards 

 

 

Now, whenever I will post a product reel, I can ask viewers to check the link in bio, where they will come across my catalog, and if they like, they’ll be able to place an order. We’ll get a ping on our WhatsApp. 

Plus, they can get additional information, like who we are, how the product works, etc. from the single link (unlike the old way of linkwall in conventional bio link tools). 

I know it's not the most fancy/aesthetic way, but I am more like Howard Roark. So, if you're a fan of functionality, I highly suggest using it.

I don't know if this will be successful or if you’ll like it or not. So, let me know in the comments if this is useful.
