• Social Advertising?

• Social Upsell? Cross-Sell Q&A?

• Virtual Currency – via SNS?

• Game In-app social purchases/monetization?

What is the new definition of s-Commerce?

More succinctly, social commerce is the use of social network(s) in the context of e-

commerce transactions

1. Social network-driven sales - Facebook commerce and Twitter commerce belong to this part. Sales take place on established social network sites and related commerce sites (e.g. Zynga games, FB credits, Skype credits, BC).

2. Peer-to-peer sales platforms (eBay, Etsy, Amazon) - In these websites, users can directly communicate and sell products to other users.

3. Group buying (Groupon, LivingSocial) - Users can buy products or services at a lower price when enough users agree to make this purchase.

4. Peer recommendations (Amazon, Yelp, JustBought) - Users can see recommendations from other users.

5. User-curated shopping (The Fancy, Lyst, Svpply) - Users create and share lists of products and services for others to shop from.

6. Participatory commerce (Threadless, Kickstarter, CutOnYourBias) - Users can get involved in the production process.

7. Social shopping (Motilo, Fashism, GoTryItOn) - Sites provide chat sessions for users so they can communicate with their friends or other users for some advice.
