(Turns out, you can hear footsteps above, motorbikes below, and the clanging of the 100 year old elevator doors all night long.) Over the last 18 months, these ceilings have transported me to another era. The Renaissance era. (In fact, I’m in the midst of planning a Renaissance-inspired photoshoot before we move because I must document this amazing home as much as possible. Stay tuned for some fabulous photos 😁) Renaissance is a theme I wanted to talk about today… Because lately, I’ve noticed a “renaissance” of sorts happening on Instagram when it comes to selling. (To be clear, in this renais-sense, I’m talking about “the revival of or renewed interest in something” definition of the word.) We all know that Reels have been the cool kid on the scene for the last (*does the math*) almost 3 (!?) years. And while Reels are great for growth and visibility, I’m seeing a resurgence of a now underrated featured that contributes to most, if not all, my Instagram sales. (And I know I’m not the only one.) The feature? Instagram Stories. 📲 Stories are powerful because they can generate and drive Direct Messages, which is also where the sales happen. In fact, here are 8 ways that Stories alone can drive sales & DMs: 1. Use the Poll sticker to see who’s interested in your offer before it’s live, and mark all interested people as Close Friends. 2. Encourage replies to your Stories when talking about your offer. 3. Show viewers what your offer looks like once they sign up. 4. Share screenshots of special sections of your sales page that outline your offer. 5. Use the Countdown sticker to create urgency for when your cart closes. 6. Share a code in your Stories for viewers to reply with in order to receive a free gift or a link. 7. Use the Poll sticker to ask people if they’re on the fence, and follow up with them with a personal Direct Message. 8. Use the Quiz sticker to quiz your viewers on your offer. --------------------------------------------------------------- There are even MORE ways that Stories alone can drive sales… And these sales strategies are exactly what I cover inside of [Sales Vault and Copy Vault](=) (now bundled together for just $47, regularly $294 – a savings of 85%). This bundle is called the [Sales Accelerator Bundle](=), and here’s a taste of what you can get inside (available this week only): 💵 How To Get Sales In Direct Messages (And Beyond) 💵 Live Launching Instagram Strategy 💵 Close Friends Strategy 💵 12 Direct Message Scripts 💵 3 Sales Funnel Templates … plus 7 more trainings or templates. This steal-of-a-deal Bundle (if I do say so myself) won't last long, and these two Vaults will never be seen in this form again. After Tuesday, May 23rd, these Vaults will only be available as part of a new higher-ticket program I'm creating... ...so grab them now while you can. And the best part? You're SAVING a ton of money on this Bundle (with it priced at 85% off) *and* it has mega potential to MAKE you a ton of money. Win win. ​[The Bundle is yours right here.](=)​ ~ Elise ​ P.S.
