There hasn’t yet been theinvestment in mass e-commerce infrastructure.

The line between produced content and advertising will disappear online The crucial aspect of social consumer engagement is to ensure that consumers feel that their voice is heard online. This doesn’t necessitate constant two-way conversation but requires brands to be attentive when that conversation is wanted
