Dear BayPay Members,
Social Media is big, we all know and even if the start of Facebook on Wall Street was far from a rising star, analysts predict that 2013 will see an increase of mobile advertising making Facebook a buy at this time.
At BayPay, we have talked about the great expectations of social commerce in the past so for the second event of the year, we want to revisit this side of the business and learn from companies that dedicated resources to building a business around social commerce.
Are we there yet in Social Commerce? On one side, Payvment, the Facebook eCommerce platform announced it was shutting down and was handing over its customers to Ecwid. On the other, Intuit has acquired, according to Techcrunch, Payvment's team, technology and patents demonstrating their seriousness in this area. Other companies have developped some interesting solutions for retailers and are using big data to tackle the customer engagement problem.
How do you use Social Media as a merchant to increase sales and get a better customer experience? Open Graph provides a lot of interesting information to profile consumers but how can we use it? Is it better to build or partner? Can social data finally solve the fraud problem? Facebook and Twitter are investing heavily on these new ways to conduct business so is there room for a startup in this area?
These are a few of the questions we will ask our panel following their presentations to explain the way they see this market, what they provide and what their vision is for the future. Like our previous event in January on Loyalty, Coupons and Mobility, 5 companies will do a presentation followed by an interactive panel session.
If you have questions or just want to learn more about this industry in the making, this is the right time to do so. Please, register in advance so we can get organized to order the right amount of food and drinks.
