Test a market with Instagram posts/ads

[rob223]

Hi. I have a source of products that I think I can sell and I want to test the market. The products homemade but high quality. I would be shipping them in a small box/large envelope.

I want to test the market by creating a quick landing page/web store and hopefully sending traffic there via Instagram. I have identified the niche (i.e. keywords/tags) I intend to target on Instagram. I think the simplest method would be to have a dummy web store that says we are out of stock but to sign up to a mailing list. I'm open to alternative methods though.

I'm thinking the solution is to get a Shopify store, link it to an Instagram business account, and monitor the performance/sign-ups. However, I've never done this before so I'm open to any suggestions - in particular what platforms/channels to use. I'm guessing this is a common thing... maybe there is a recommended approach. Any tips appreciated! Thanks.
