Product Launch Reminders on Instagram

Facebook says this new feature will enable people to buy products the moment they’re available, right on Instagram.

“The progress Instagram has made with Checkout gives adidas’ customers the power to go from inspiration to purchase in an instant. We see adoption improve month to month. With new features like product launch reminders, we expect to see engagement increase as we can create simple, immersive and user-obsessed experiences adidas creators love,“ said Scott Zalaznik, SVP Digital at adidas.
