DESCRIPTION
Tablecloth is not exactly a ‘social’ category. Yet LinenTablecloth has been highly successful in leveraging social media to increase sales, revenues, user engagement and Facebook fans. After disappointing results from Facebook ads, they decided to take a different approach and focused on making their e-commerce website more social. LinenTablecloth has reaped healthy benefits from adopting the ShopSocially social commerce strategy of adding social commerce modules to their e-commerce website. Besides a 4X increase in sales conversion rate for social traffic generated through ShopSocially apps, LinenTablecloth got an incremental revenue of $1.8M through social commerce. ShopSocially conducted a Webinar on this social commerce success story of LinenTablecloth on August 28th. Marketing manager from LinenTablecloth Ashley Thomas presented the webinar along with ShopSocially CEO Jai Rawat. It was a huge success with more than 200 people attending the Webinar and actively interacting with questions and comments. This is the presentation used for this Webinar.
