Shops are not the same – from boutique to superstore. Integration (social and logistic) is the order of the day.
With social commerce, there are software providers - fcommerce packages. With true ecommerce it is about true integration:from high margin and high volume product sales, to label printing and pick & pack, to trackable data that can be analysed and used to develop a better customer experience.
Just ecommerce isn't a strategy.
Customers change a little, technology changes a lot.

Mobile shouldn’t remove the opportunity to consultatively sell.
There is less real estate to visually sell, so it is more important to focus on how your customers might view your business, products and services.
Mobile should highlight your products, emphasise your service enable the user
to reserve & collect to find store locations
Mobile is a new channel, not a replacement.

Combine your site’s analytics with industry trends to identify target platforms
Device considerations: the range of
screen sizes and orientations meant that the design had to be very fluid:ranging from 320 pixels wide for an upright iPhone 3, to 960 pixels wide for an iPhone 4 on its side.
Note: the iPhone 4 has twice the resolution as an iPhone 3 (640x960 compared to 320x480), although the physical screen size is the same!

Social commerce – e-commerce through social networks
Social change: social shopping and social influence are an integral part of our lives. (Note: I didn’t mention ‘online’ or ‘digital’ there)
Customer behaviour has not changed (much), but when we ask a question, or seek an opinion or recommendation, it is amplified.

Facebook commerceA convenience store?
Payment in Facebook: PayPal & Credits
The phasing out of FBML, the phasing in of iframes – where does the transaction occur?
People are happy with the ‘security’ of Facebook.
The purchase process is quite slow and clunky.
Remember these are your customers. Control the customer experience.

Facebook commerceForbes states that Facebook’s referral traffic to Amazon grew 328% year on year in Oct. 2010, while Google’s traffic dropped 2%.Facebook traffic to eBay grew 81% while Google traffic dropped 3%.
8th Bridge forecasts retail sales on Facebook in 2011 will be IRO $100 million. They also state that people are ‘18 times more likely to buy directly in their News Feed than when clicking off to a separate website’.
Facebook disagrees. Why?
Learn, test, refine. Facebook is a campaign tool, a marketing strategy with benefits.
