In Kuwait, Instagram is an attractive choice for entrepreneurs trying to promote a product or service, given the high use of this social tool in Kuwait and the high mobile penetration rate (above 75 percent) in general.

“It is an inexpensive method to test the market,” said Hind Al-Nahedh, CEO of Socialobby, in a previous interview on Nuwait. “I get direct sales and transactions for the least cost possible.”

Businesses in general, and those working in ecommerce in particular have benefitted a lot from this platform to sell their products. Most of them rely on Whatsapp for taking orders and opt for cash on delivery, a method often preferred by clients in the Arab region.

Here is a list of 5 ecommerce businesses in the beauty sector, that were able to use Instagram in Kuwait as a selling tool.
