Influenced by the demand for stay-homes in Corona, the current situation is that the Internet is becoming even more popular. In particular, the use of social networking services has increased, indicating that the spread of social networking services among the younger generation is remarkable. From the usage of social networking services, it can be seen that Instagram is the media that shows a large difference among the usage groups. In addition, Instagram is highly effective in appealing to visual information, and is said to be suitable for marketing cosmetics and clothing.
