Foxy Locks uses Instagram to showcase product, product product. The Founder, Imogen Fox, has her own Instagram feed where customers can follow and interact with her on a personal level, but when it comes to social, it's product first rather than the business' story.

Foxy Locks makes sure its customers know exactly what and how they can make a purchase. Each post provides the shade of the hair extension featured, the website link, and details payment options including Klarna which allows customers to spread payments. Surfacing this info makes it easy for customers to take the action you want them to.
If you don’t ask people to take action you are much less likely to achieve your goals.
