“It (FB Store) ...was like trying to sell stuff to people while they’re hanging out with their friends at the bar”“There was a lot ofanticipation thatFacebook wouldturn into a newdestination, a store,a place wherepeople wouldshop,” ......It wasbasically justanother place toshop for all the stuffalready availableon the retailerwebsites” Sucharita Mulpuru Forrester

“Facebook is simply NOT the place where users want to go to buy things”??!!• Fans “like” brands primarily for one reason – special discounts and sales promotions.• Likes inﬂuence purchase likelihood among friends of fans.• Liking a brand’s page or product is often a post-purchase activity.• Demographic differences play a role, with Millennials being the generation most open to shopping on Facebook. • 34% of respondents said they would never purchase anything on Facebook, • but nearly 20% already have

Re Timeline: Facebook’s goal was to make Pages more about storytelling than product selling. And it worked.

FB Covers: No Selling Please!!!

“Citizens of the world, Your personal information is not your own” •54% of US consumers said they did not feel safe buying products or services on Facebook • 8 % said they felt extremely safe This reﬂects a wider concern: 6 in 10 Facebook users in the US do not trust Facebook to keep their information private.

The Future of F-Commerce? By All Accounts, the Future is Rosy:)• E-Commerce is an inevitabilty and social is alreadyan instigator. Text• By all speculation, Facebook is primed to lead thecharge.• Facebook is now serious as a payment platform thatbecomes truly “global” in nature.• Big brands are still figuring it out. Many are hesitantto step up to the market that is Facebook.• SMBs seem to be fuelling early success.• Timeline may not necessarily benefit the onlinemerchant in the short term but it mitigates user churn• Open Graph has significant impact on visibility andshareability•Data collection is a valid hindrance that must beaddressed.

“The customer journey must be deﬁned...This just isn’t about Facebook.... but about allemerging channels where customer attention Text becomes increasingly distributed” 1. Facebook is still a social space and should not be treated as just another marketing exercise. 2. Interaction with customers is vital to maintain your business social credentials. Dont let your business become just another faceless retailer. 3. Remember that Facebook users talk to each other. Treat them with respect. 4. Integrate Facebook into your enterprises other activities. Today, retailing is all about delivering a seamless experience for the consumer.
