Ecommerce and social networks
2
The power of social connections is the
most exciting innovation in ecommerce
since its creation. Nothing simplifies the
process of a sale more than having the
knowledge about habits and preferences
of the consumer.
In efforts to tap in to this information, many
stores have expanded or fully migrated
their operations to Facebook.
Could this be the best
opportunity that social
commerce has to offer?
