There are currently close to 4.67 billion active users of social media in the world &#8211; and, on average, an individual spends around 5 years of their lives on the different social platforms. This, in turn, is opening up the opportunities of buying\/selling directly on social media in a big way. In fact, <strong>according to ~86% online buyers, social media has eased their shopping journeys in some way or the other. By the end of 2026, the value of global &#8220;social media shopping&#8221; activities is projected to zoom past $1940 billion (growing at a CAGR of well over 29%) &#8211; making &#8220;social commerce&#8221; a veritable buzzword among social media marketing experts.<\/strong> We elaborate on this in what follows:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Exactly Is \u2018Social Commerce\u2019?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Putting things simply, <strong>social commerce refers to any activity that involves direct selling\/buying of products or services on the various social media platforms.<\/strong> Right from Facebook Marketplace and Google Shopping advertisements, to selling products through social media groups\/forums, Instagram product links and product pins on Pinterest &#8211; social commerce strategies and channels can be many &amp; varied. In addition to social selling, <strong>sellers can directly interact with prospective buyers to raise awareness about social eCommerce applications, payment methods, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Any social media platform that can be used by e-store owners to sell their products serves as a \u2018social commerce platform\u2019.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Social Commerce vs Social Media Marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While both have social media platforms at their core, there are distinct differences between social media marketing (or, SMM) and social commerce. Unlike in the latter, <strong>the entire shopping procedure in social commerce takes place on social media itself.<\/strong> On the other hand, <strong>social media marketing is more targeted towards building referral traffic volumes to eCommerce stores or websites.<\/strong> Typically, the number of clicks\/taps involved in social commerce is significantly less than that in general eCommerce and\/or website purchases.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The Indian social commerce sector is expected to grow to a shade under $20 billion by FY25.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>The Different Types Of Social Commerce<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_471\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-471\" class=\"wp-image-471\" src=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Different-Type-of-Social-Commerce-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Different Type of Social Commerce\" width=\"1000\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Different-Type-of-Social-Commerce-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Different-Type-of-Social-Commerce-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Different-Type-of-Social-Commerce-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Different-Type-of-Social-Commerce-1536x807.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Different-Type-of-Social-Commerce-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Different-Type-of-Social-Commerce.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-471\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Different Type of Social Commerce<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Irrespective of whether a seller uses social platforms to generate sales as individuals, or as a brand, or even as an influencer, there are different social commerce strategies that can be followed. Here is a snapshot of these strategies:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Platform-driven strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In this form of social commerce, sellers typically set up their custom online stores on platform-driven portals (e.g., eBay) and start selling.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Community-driven strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This involves the creation of online stores with sharing and messaging features (and as such, Facebook or Pinterest are ideal for this). The community-driven strategy looks to create a seamless combination of information sharing and, of course, sales.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Peer-driven strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When a person finds that his\/her friends, family and acquaintances are purchasing something, (s)he is likely to get interested in the concerned product\/service as well. This is what sellers with peer-driven social commerce strategies look to achieve.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Group-driven strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Groupon is a classic example of a successfully implemented social commerce strategy. In this, all members have a unified objective &#8211; buying the items they require at competitive prices (the members generally are not acquainted with each other).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>User-driven strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As the name suggests, this form of social commerce is driven by user-generated content (or, UGC). From product feedback, reviews &amp; recommendations, to creation of product lists and voting &#8211; there are several ways to influence purchasing behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>The type of social commerce that would be most effective for a particular brand has to be carefully selected (it can also be a combination of multiple strategies). In order to avoid confusions and missteps in this regard, availing the services of a <a style=\"color: #dc3343;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brandwizz.com\/digital-marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digital marketing agency in Kolkata<\/a> is advisable.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Effective Social Commerce Builds Website Traffic<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The advantages of social commerce go beyond the convenience factor of buyers. Consistent and effective social media commerce has the potential to boost web traffic volumes &#8211; and ultimately, website visibility on the Google SERP. Put in another way, <strong>social commerce can complement search engine optimisation (SEO) strategies.<\/strong> Sellers also have the option to share such content that links back to their business websites.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Purchasing Journey Of Buyers Become Frictionless<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The more steps a customer has to take to buy a product (click a button, tap on a link, etc.), the risks of drop-offs increase. <strong>Social commerce removes such probable points of friction from the buyers\u2019 journey. In most cases, all that a person needs to do is view the item, click on it for details, and purchase it.<\/strong> No additional steps, no extra complications, nowhere else to go &#8211; no frictions. Even the product research phase is shortened, since all feedback &amp; reviews are visible upfront.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>On Instagram; On Facebook; On Pinterest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_472\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-472\" class=\"wp-image-472\" src=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Online-Buyers-Research-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Online Buyers' Research\" width=\"1000\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Online-Buyers-Research-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Online-Buyers-Research-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Online-Buyers-Research-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Online-Buyers-Research-1536x807.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Online-Buyers-Research-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Online-Buyers-Research.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-472\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Online Buyers&#8217; Using Social Media Before Any Product Purchase<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By 2023-24, the value of online sales worldwide is set to go beyond the $730 billion mark. The market has immense potential &#8211; and it is vital for sellers to analyse &amp; understand which platform(s) their customers are primarily present on &#8211; and craft their social commerce plans accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facebook and Instagram are extremely popular as social commerce platforms &#8211; with close to 80% online buyers doing their research on these channels.<\/strong> Setting up a Facebook store is fairly easy, and the products listed for sale should be tagged in different posts (static &amp; video).<\/p>\n<p>On Instagram, there are options to add product links in posts as well as in the story section. <strong>On a monthly basis, shopping tags on Instagram receive over 126 million clicks. Pinterest too is growing as a viable social commerce channel &#8211; with around 49% active users interested in shopping directly from the platform. <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> As social commerce is growing and online buyers are looking for prompt responses from sellers &#8211; the importance of AI-powered chatbots is going up. Online stores with chatbot support drive up engagements, offer real-time customer assistance, and even ensure smooth, secure checkout.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Boosting Buyer Loyalty &amp; Brand Recall Through Social Commerce<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Social media platforms double up as excellent tools to create strong customer-relationships and capture the mindshare of the target audience. <strong>Through content\/online store material that are aesthetically appealing, deliver value, and have a \u2018connect\u2019, sellers can easily get new leads as well as bolster their count of repeat buyers. <\/strong>The role of social media influencers also need to be mentioned in this context. <strong>Through influencer partnerships and recommendations, a brand can get a distinct edge in the social commerce space.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> By 2023, livestream shopping will be a $25 billion sector in the United States alone.
