WEBSITE CLICKS
Since February 15th, more than 100 Website Clicks originated from Instagram and went directly to your website!
This number does not include the number of website clicks received prior to creating the bit.ly link (43) and our typical call to action is to stop into the Mercantile in person, not to visit the website, so this is done by users without prodding, which is HUGE! On average, your account saw 10 or more get directions clicks per week - that’s an estimated 120 clicks in 12 weeks and a possible 240+ visitors in that time span alone.
