IKEA’s online marketing division in Russia just launched a new mini-website for their PS furniture collection. What’s so special about it? The new ‘website’ is actually a series of Instagram posts across 35 separate Instagram accounts, linked in a way that simulates the look and navigation of a traditional website design.
The Instagram pages allows people to easily tag their products from the store, as well as see more photos of each item than in a print catalogue (or even on the company’s home page) — it’s really a clever use of a platform that wasn’t designed to accommodate this kind of marketing initiative.
Check out the video below for a preview of the site in action. If you’re viewing this on a mobile device, you can get a feel for how it works here.
