Eager to monetize the large followings they had built on Facebook, many large brands set up shop on the social network for the first time last year. Now many of those Facebook stores are closing. A Bloomberg report this weekend pointed out that Gap, J.C. Penney, Nordstrom and GameStop have all opened and closed shops on Facebook within the past year — undermining expectations that the social network will become a major revenue driver for retailers over the next decade. “We just didn’t get the return on investment we needed from the Facebook market, so we shut it down pretty quickly,” Ashley Sheetz, VP of marketing and strategy at GameStop, told Bloomberg. “For us, it’s been a way we communicate with customers on deals, not a place to sell.”

Depuis quelques mois, beaucoup de marques se posent la question du "What's next ?" sur leurs pages Facebook.

3 Ways Content and Commerce Are Colliding In Online Retail

Lately we’ve witnessed the intersection of content and commerce, an emerging breed of retail site that features magazine-like editorials, photo spreads and inspiring video, all designed to instruct and, ultimately, sell a product. We’ve identified three sites that best exemplify that model — sites that go beyond a side blog or other siloed content offering and thoroughly integrate content into an engaging and meaningful retail experience. Mr Porter Mr. Porter suggests clothing from its catalogue via a feature about iconic ’70s looks captured on film. Arriving at Mr Porter, a high-end men’s retail site connected to online luxury retailer Net-a-Porter, feels more like opening a magazine spread than entering an online shopping destination. http://mashable.com/2011/10/24/commerce-content/

Social Shopping, que réserve FaceBook ? | we are social

Au monde des réseaux sociaux, pour continuer de filer la métaphore artistique et en l’occurrence cinématographique, on pourrait croire avec Jean Yanne que " Tout le monde il est beau, tout le monde il est gentil ". Seulement voilà, avec le consommateur et Audiard, " Faut pas prendre les enfants du bon dieu pour des canards sauvages ". Car le consommateur regarde de très près ce qu'il fait quand il achète, et sans être avare, toujours avec Jean Yanne " Moi y en a vouloir (pour mes) sous "! Le marketing des réseaux sociaux n'exclut pas l'humour (d'où cette petite introduction et son côté storytelling de circonstance qui ne vous aura pas échappé!).

Facebook, les réseaux sociaux et les consommateurs: je t'aime moi non plus!

3LiveShop: The Future Of Shopping Is Here. | Digital Buzz Blog

I see a lot of cool things every day. But not many are actually game changers, things that would shape industry, behavior, service or experiences… This one will… But not everyone will like it! 3 have just launched the “ 3LiveShop ” a sort of video call through your computer/webcam that blends a seamless sales and service experience in real time, with a real person, essentially delivering the physical store’s customer benefits to just about anyone, anywhere, online.

Le réseau social est devenu, en 2010, le site sur lequel les internautes américains et européens passent le plus de temps. Plate-forme de communication, de jeu ou d'information, Facebook pourrait maintenant devenir une vaste galerie marchande, alors que des e-marchands y ouvrent leurs premières boutiques. Aux États-Unis, le distributeur JCPenney et la compagnie aérienne Delta Airlines ont installé leurs étals sur Facebook. Amazon et Pampers se sont associés pour vendre des couches depuis la plate-forme. En France, La Redoute s'est lancée en février avec une sélection de produits.

F-Commerce - Rise Of The Facebook Consumer | Six Pixels of Separation - Marketing and Communications Blog - By Mitch Joel at Twist Image

What the Facebook? While visiting Florida last October, I noticed a wall of gift cards near one of the checkout counters at a Target store. Gift cards are big business these days and many retailers are getting in on the action. With all of the options available, one brand really jumped out at me. It was a gift card for Facebook . The current incarnation of these gift cards assigns Facebook Credits into your Facebook profile, which can be used to buy stuff like virtual tractors in the popular online game, Farmville , or toward other virtual goods. http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/f-commerce---rise-of-the-facebook-consumer/

Did Facebook just hint at its answer to Groupon? | VentureBeat

http://venturebeat.com/2011/01/25/facebook-buy-with-friends/ Facebook just revealed that it’s testing a new feature called “Buy with Friends” for its site, which will allow users to share their deals on virtual goods — and I’m starting to wonder whether Facebook could bring something similar to non-virtual deals. Commerce product marketing manager Deb Liu described the feature on-stage today at the Inside Social Apps InFocus conference in San Francisco. (I’m at the conference, but I was busy writing about other news , so for this story I’m relying on the coverage from Forbes and All Things Digital .) The idea is to let users tell their friends about virtual goods purchases that they’ve made in Facebook games. Most interestingly, if a user unlocks a deal, they might be able to share it with their friends. Facebook has constantly worked to find the right balance in allowing developers to promote themselves in users’ newsfeeds without users feeling that they’re being spammed.
