Why Social Commerce Wins for Brands<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

You may wonder why social commerce is important and what is in it for you and your brand. <\/span>Social commerce is here to stay, and we believe that it is and will be a key source for brand growth.<\/span><\/b> It is well-known fact that early adopters set the tone and gain a competitive advantage, thus brands should adapt and implement social commerce soon, and therefore benefit from first-mover advantages like higher exposure, growth, and sales.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From the Customer Perspective, <\/span>social commerce is<\/span><\/b> convenient, easy, and reliable<\/span><\/b>. It is not only easier to discover new products on the platforms, but if customers are already spending time on the platform, you are not forcing them to leave the platform to visit your website. Instead, you are coming to them by having your products available for sale on the social media platforms they use. Moreover, users would also be more inclined to visit the brand product catalog and shop, as they don\u2019t have to leave the platform and can easily share and ask for friends‘ opinions. In addition, it provides a personalized and time-efficient shopping experience, as the algorithm can suggest similar product recommendations according to the customer’s interests and preferences based on items viewed, liked, and previous purchases.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From the Brand Perspective, <\/span>social commerce offers a wide series of benefits: higher brand awareness, reach, engagement, and increased sales revenue. <\/span><\/b>Selling on social media platforms enables brands to engage in tactical product placement by having their products available in a social media shop, influencer\u2019s post, or livestream shopping event, triggering world of mouth and UGC. <\/span>With social commerce, it is easier than ever for people to share favorite products with their friends or blast about a positive shopping experience with the brand, therefore generating positive word of mouth and convincing their <\/span>peers<\/span> to buy from the brand<\/span>. <\/span>Similarly, in the shop feed, Instagram also shows users tailored products based on <\/span>previous interactions,\u00a0<\/span> w<\/span>hich means your <\/span>brand <\/span>products will be shown multiple times, likely multiplying your brand exposure, <\/span>reach, and <\/span>conversions<\/span>. Moreover, it also allows brands to expand their target group by reaching not only target consumers, but also new consumers that otherwise might not have been considered part of the target group. Lastly, the free-market research generated from the platforms, helps brands adjust their marketing strategy and spending to reach objectives in an efficient and cost-effective way.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
