In the earlier years of conception, eCommerce was a solo experience with little social or emotional appeal which is totally out of sync with the shopping experience most buyers want and expect. Shopping is usually a social activity and shoppers prefer to shop with their dear ones and then share the experience and feedback with their peers. Shoppers currently expect a similar social experience when they transact online. Shoppers want to know about a product from their friends or relatives before buying. Studies have shown that people rely more on what their friends or relatives are saying about a product compared to the direct marketing pitch of a merchant. Also, eCommerce 2.0 has successfully addressed the challenges related to timely delivery, payment and return policies. However, the real solution does not lie in integrating commercial transactions into social networking sites but in creating a social layer on online commerce sites. Figure 2 gives a snapshot of the eCommerce revenues generated from various social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+. Tumblr, Pinterest etc.

4. Strategies for Business Transformation Social commerce offers significant advantages to retailers by enabling them to reacha larger mass through collaborative shopping. Integrated social computing provides the following key business advantages to eCommerce retailers.
4.1 Enhanced brand awareness with seamless social sharing Social media is the best tool for any retailer to reach a larger mass through extensive networks. People start following retailers on social platforms which in turn enhances the brand value of the retailer. Brand perception originates on social networking sites and is shared and modified by users in the public domain. Hence it is very important for an organization to transform into a community entity from an individual entity. Regular appreciation and user endorsements on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Blogger etc., can be used to increase visibility and create awareness about the company and the product which helps to further reinforce brand value.

Figure 3: Branding through Social Media
The strength of social media lies in its ability to spread news rapidly to a vast audience. Companies can leverage customers’ ability to popularize the brand among their connections and this leads to an inherited trust on one’s brand through customer recommendations. This trend forms the core of a new model of eCommerce, Shopper 2.0, which model talks about integrating with social networking sites. In this approach, there are three phases of customer interaction as demonstrated in Figure 3.
1. Before Purchase People do a market research about a product before buying it. During this phase, the users look for opinions from their connections.
2. During Purchase In this phase, the users look for options to personalize or customize the eCommerce portals
3. After Purchase In this phase, the users start sharing their experience and provide feedback about the product and the complete purchasing experience.
4.2 Multiply sales through social recommendation Promotion enhances awareness about a product or service but does not vouch for increase in sales revenues. Revenue is generated when people start buying the product. The major goal of the sales team is to influence the buyer to buy the particular product. One of the best ways to achieve this is to use existing users who will work as marketing partners for the product by recommending it to their friends/connections on social media sites. This is more of PULL marketing and sales mechanism compared to the conventional PUSH sales model as depicted in Figure 4.
