Update: Live Shopping is no longer available as of March 16, 2023.
This November, Instagram is hosting its annual #BuyBlack celebration to harness the energy of one of retail’s biggest days of the year, Black Friday, to promote Black-owned business all month long. Each Friday, Instagram will host Live Shopping events and curate collections from Black-owned businesses in the Instagram Shop tab. As a business, you can tune in, shop, and even find inspiration to do your own live shopping event or add a label to your shop on Instagram.
Support Black-owned businesses by tuning in to the #BuyBlack Friday Live Shopping events and by checking out our #BuyBlack collections found in the “Holiday Picks” section of the Instagram Shop tab all month long.
Tune in to see Live Shopping host Keke Palmer (@keke) interview an array of Black-owned businesses across the fashion, beauty, home and gifting categories, as they share their brand stories and help people find products for holiday gifting. And don’t worry, if you miss Keke going live with these inspiring businesses, you can find the shows in the Instagram Shop tab through the holiday season.
