Portland, OR. September 28, 2010. -- ShopIgniter, a provider of innovative
social eCommerce solutions, today announced its "Facebook Store for the
Holidays" program to help companies leverage their social networks to
generate more revenue. Combining social eCommerce technology and fast track
implementation, the program enables qualifying companies to go live with a
Facebook store and social promotional tools just in time for the holiday
season.
According to Nielson Company (April 2009), 90 percent of people trust
recommendations of friends above and beyond any form of advertising. "We
know a high percentage of companies recognize the value of having a Facebook
presence," said Matt Compton, CEO of ShopIgniter. "However, they also want
to see a direct impact on sales from their fan bases. We designed this
quick start program so they can begin to generate revenue in the upcoming
holiday season."
Unlike stand-alone carts, catalog displays or widgets for Facebook,
ShopIgniter's solution enables retailers to control products, pricing,
options, categories, collections, brands, and more in a fully-branded
Facebook application and back end store management console. Social
promotional tools enable companies to create, control, and promote
shareable, trackable coupons and promotional sales socially, inside of
Facebook and Twitter. Shoppers can incentivize their friends with offers
specifically tailored to them from the ShopIgniter Facebook store.
Pricing and Availability
ShopIgniter's Facebook for the holidays program is available now for
qualifying companies and is priced on a subscription basis, starting as low
as a few hundred dollars a month. For more information, visit:
