Beneficial for brands

As long as a user tags a brand in their post they will see the option to then tag products. With 1.6 million people tagging brands in their posts each week, Instagram giving all users the ability to tag products in their posts will benefit businesses. Sharing products and discovering brands will become even easier as consumers start sharing their favourite products to their followers who can then easily find and purchase those products.
