What is social commerce and how can it benefit you? Social commerce is the process of using social media to create a dialogue with your customers. It creates an interactive experience that gives them more insight into the product they are buying, what it will look like in their home, how it can be used for entertaining guests or planning events, and so on. In turn, this builds trust between you and your customer which can result in more purchases and higher conversion rates. The advantages of social commerce are endless! You have instant access to thousands or millions of potential customers through various channels such as Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram etc., they enjoy seeing new products before anyone else does and there is no need for expensive marketing campaigns because these people are already interested-it can increase product visibility at scale. 70% of shopping enthusiasts turn to Instagram for shopping and 87% of shoppers say that influencers inspired them to make a purchase.* Facebook and Instagram offer a slew of features that make it easier than ever to display products on your site or in your feed, share them with friends, build an audience based around specific interests, entice people into subscribing to notification when new items come out and much more.
