Retailers get Social Software
Check this out. On craigslist this morning, which I read for amusement, there was an ad for big Net retailer. The retailer is jumping into social application software - online communites. They are weaving their sites around customer interaction. The customer becomes a producer - prosumer. The customer is alive and wants to participate. I have blanked out the name of the company because it does not want the listing reposted.
Anyway, if you're a retailer, and not in the top 5 on the net, well, you should pay attention to what this company is up to because they are setting the trend. Did I mention that we set up custom social shopping sites with full e-comm - auctions - classifieds?
