Rude Owners on Facebook

This is a customer perception of blogshops.  It shows a lack of understanding of social media and customer service in general.

Annoying blogshops

MynameisQUE;

I've always wanted to blog about this thing but I didn't have the time.

Have you ever came across those grumpy, ill mannered shop owners outside?
I bet you have. Something I cannot stand, ever are shopowners,
who treat their customers like SHIT. Like being rude, not being helpful
enough or you know, just having the bitchy face while serving you.
SO ANNOYING.

I thought that only happens in real life because most blogshop owners I know are pretty nice.

Well, I was wrong. I rarely accept FB requests from blogshop owners because I
don't like the fact that most of them use the blogshop name as their FB name and
I won't know who is REALLY the owner of the account. When it comes to my
official FB account, I take privacy very seriously.

Until.... I accepted Ladieslite Shop's friend request.

Fierce Bio.

Photobucket
Facebook page

Photobucket

This status when I printscreened this really caught my eye.
It amazes me how she's so daring to actually post that kind of stuff
when she knows that both her potential and recent customers will read the post.

I think its our right as customers to have expectations of a certain thing
we bought from the blogshop. Seriously, the stuffs she sold weren't DIRT CHEAP.
If it was, then obviously factors like quality will obviously be out of the question.

Photobucket

She is probably, the most ridiculous blog shop owner I've met on the Cyber world.

I don't know how the idea of 'tagging customers on photo' came about,
but sometimes I feel that they get 'free publicity' by doing so.
That's why I made my tagged photos on FB private and can only
be seen by me. :)

I don't know why people still buy from blogshops like this.
Photobucket

What is really amusing is that she knows she's using FB as a social networking tool
to actually market the stuff that she sells but she fails to understand the
whole purpose of a SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE.
Its where feedback and communication takes place,
so I don't see why she has to act in such manner.

Another thing that I wasn't quite happy was the fact that she has
one whole album of particulars of dead buyers on her FB.
If you add her up, you'll be able to see the album and the particulars
of those people who changed their mind about buying from her.

These details include things like name, email address,
HOME ADDRESS AND CONTACT NUMBER.

I think she's going too far because details like that are supposed to be
kept CONFIDENTIAL and should NOT be up on the net.

Photobucket

In return to remove the their details, she wants $50.
I'm not sure if she's joking but feels like extortion to me.

But in another FB status....

Photobucket

So I guess, she's not really serious about the $50 / $500 since
she can't even tell the difference between the two.

I tried reporting the page but nothing happened.

Please report the page and spread this to your friends!
We should all be aware of blogshop owners like this. :)

Comparing Live Journal, Blogger and Word Press

From: http://www.free-press-release.com/news-is-livejournal-blogspot-or-wordpress-better-for-blogshop-in-singapore-1267058339.html



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 24, 2010 -- 
www.blogshopcity.com shall explore whether Blogspot, Livejournal or wordpress is suitable for you when it comes to building your Blogshop 

Livejournal 
The key advantage of Livejournal is the social platform solution where blogshop owner can create their social space within LiveJournal in the internet and meet their possible customers. 



1


Is Livejournal, Blogspot Or Wordpress Better for Blogshop in Singapore
Is Livejournal, Blogspot Or Wordpress Better for Blogshop in Singapore



Pluses: As mentioned above, LiveJournal has some many social networking features and communities where blogshop owner can advertise their sales item to the community. It is very easy to find new friends there and track their blogs. 

Minuses: If you are thinking monetizing your blog, Livejournal will not allow that – all advertisements there are added by Livejournal company. 

Categorizing your sales item is differient and the number of themes is limited. There are no plugins at all. 

More importantly when it comes to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) The search engines don't like Livejournal: It is unlikely you will ever be on the first page of Google , so all you'll get is the same Livejournal users as you. 

Blogger


IMO, Blogger is the easiet platform for anyone is starting off. Compared to Wordpress, it is much much easy. This is a platform for beginners, who just start off creating a Blogshop. 

Pluses: Yes, you can monetize your blog with Adsense: the advertisements can be added in limited amounts and positions 

Plugin is available in making your blog more entertaining, and more themes. 

Another advantage is it allowed you to use your own domain (without blogspot) while using their template. 


Minuses: It is not SEO friendly. Many beginners think that if this platform is earned by Google, then their blog will be in the Top 10 on every page of the search engines and have thousands of visitors every day. It is not true: Although there is a possibility to be on the first page of Google, it will take much more time to get there as on Wordpress. 

Blogger doesn't look nice: doesn't allow to add categories which is vital for a Blogshop. 

With the countless of theme available, It does help Blogshop who needs to create a professional image. However tweaking is limited. 


Wordpress 
This is the best solution for Blogshops who want to have professional and nice looking web-page. However be prepared to learn a bit more about wordpress as it is simple as Blogshop. Also for wordpress, you need to have your own hosting so it does take a little programming if you decide to choose wordpress. 


Pluses: There are many professional themes and plugins, Code programming can be done with many plugins which is helpful for blogshop. 

Minuses: Hosting is required, the price is not expensive and can be covered by earnings from your blog. 

Excellent platform for everyone who wants to build a professional image but a little knowlege of web programming is required

Blogs used as official company websites

This is a company called Kuching Kayak.  They are using a Word Press blog as their official website:  http://www.kuchingkayak.com/?page_id=2.


This is not strictly an e-commerce site, but it is an integral part of this company's business.

The Future of Local Commerce = Facebook + Foursquare + Yelp + Groupon

Not sure how all these will fit in, but I am putting them here just in case there is a pattern later.

From: http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/30/the-future-of-local-commerce-facebook-foursquare-yelp-groupon/


Techcrunch article

David Marcus Oct 30, 2010

Editor’s note: The following guest post is by David Marcus, founder and CEO of Zong, a mobile payment provider for Facebook Credits, AT&T and hundreds of leading destination websites and mobile applications

There’s been much hype, crazy valuations, and overall market excitement about businesses that promise to unleash the power of the social graph, location, recommendations and group buying. Facebook’s latest valuation according to SecondMarket is now about $30 billion, Foursquare raised $20 million at a post-money valuation of $115 million while still at a pre-revenue stage, Yelp, short of selling for $550 million to Google, raised over $25 million at an undisclosed but very high valuation, and finally Groupon raised $135 million at a whopping $1.35 billion valuation. So besides their huge success with the investment community, and their users, what do these companies have in common, and what does all this have to do with disrupting Local Commerce?



In an August TechCrunch guest post, Alex Rampell, describes how Online2Offline commerce is a potential trillion dollar opportunity. The gist of it is that we spend most of our disposable income offline, in local stores, restaurants, and shopping malls. But companies like Groupon, Gilt, and other group buying and private sale startups are changing the money flow. People buy online, and redeem offline. But this is just the beginning of a perfect storm brewing that will change the way we discover, shop, and pay for things. Let’s focus on the main function each of these different startups provide to understand how bringing them together will ultimately disrupt multiple trillion dollar industries:
  • Facebook: provides the Social Graph, which is fast becoming a utility. Through its open platform, and APIs, we share more about our lives and our interactions online and on mobile every day.
  • Foursquare and Gowalla: provide location services and check-ins, along with game mechanics that motivate users to unlock badges, earn mayorships, and get discounts at local stores in the process.
  • Yelp: provides crowdsourced reviews of local businesses. Now also provides check-ins, and offers.
  • Groupon: provides discounted offers against a promise to increase sales and bring in brand new customers to local businesses.



The interesting thing here is that there’s a lot of overlap between the features offered by these companies. Recently, Facebook launched Places, a mobile geo-location service that mimics Foursquare local check-ins. Yelp also added check-ins, and recently rolled out Yelp Deals, a Groupon clone.

Considering that Local Commerce will be mostly mobile, one of these companies still must bring all of these features together, along with one-click payments (IMHO), to truly tap into the potential of all these disruptive technologies. In my mind, the ultimate product combines all these features in a mobile app. A user would launch the app, see what special deals are in her area (location + group buying), whom of her friends already bought the coupon/item (social graph), local reviews from friends (social graph + reviews), and then she could buy the desired coupon in one click on her handset. She could walk into the local business with a discount code, barcode, or maybe at some point in the future, an enabled RFID tag, and redeem what she just bought.

All of these companies, with the exception of Yelp, are at an early stage of their product development in this space. Facebook Places is lacking the gaming mechanics of Foursquare, the reviews of Yelp, and the local deals of Groupon. Foursquare is missing scale in its discounted offers. Yelp is missing the reach of the social graph, and the embedded payments. Groupon is lacking core social graph features that would give it better relevance through social shopping.



So which one of these companies will succeed in unleashing the power of Local Commerce by combining the right set of features with the appropriate on-the-ground salesforce? My bet is on Facebook to be first. They have a large advertising sales organization that could reach out to local businesses, already are supposedly testing offers on Places, they have de-facto more distribution and social graph access than any of the other companies, and finally they are building a true payments platform.

Groupon and Yelp also have a decent shot at it, but it will be tough to compete with Facebook’s distribution capabilities and ubiquity. In order to remain relevant, they will have to innovate and come up with original features. Foursquare’s future is probably going to be more challenging with more players entering their space, but it it could end up being bought (once again for founder Dennis Crowley) by Google, which is preparing to aggressively go after the local commerce opportunity.

Blog sale

This US site comes close to being a typical SE Asian blogshop.

It is actually a blog, but the owner decided to do a garage sale of sorts to get rid of some stuff, so she just sold it via her blog.  There is still no indication that EC is a main purpose of the blog site.

From: http://www.makeupd0ll.com/2010/01/blog-sale.html

There is even a YouTube video to complement the blog sale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbZvtEKjp7s&feature=related

Interview with Singaporean Blogshop Owner

From: http://www.blogshopcity.com/blog/2010/10/29/who-is-petite-obsession-comfortable-and-simple-yet-creates-a-great-first-impression/

Who is Petite Obsession? | Comfortable and simple yet creates a great first impression.



collection+2 Who is Petite Obsession? | Comfortable and simple yet creates a great first impression.
 
What is the name of your Blogshop or online shopping store?
ANS :   My blogshop is named ‘Petite Obsession“. Reason being that I am quite a petty girl and would hope that clothes online can fit smaller sized girls too despite the standard UK6-8!
When did you decide to open this blogshop ?
ANS :  I have always wanted to open a blogshop since years ago but did not have the capital for it. My parents are not supportive of my idea too. It was only after I had enough savings that I try opening my blogshop.
 
Tell us why you decide to open this blogshop or online shopping store?
ANS :  I have always loved having a wide variety of clothings to choose from. But most online stores have got clothings that are too big for me. So I went around looking for clothings with stretchy materials or at least those that would not looked oversized when I wear them. That was then I decided to open my own blogshop! To share with online shoppers my favourite pieces!
Can you tell us a bit more on what your blogshop offer? (eg. dresses, tops etc.)
ANS : I offers blouses, dresses, shorts, skirts etc. Currently only a little variety as I’m still building up on my connections. I would be bringing in more other fashionable wears like accessories and a wider range of clothings for my shoppers!

Can you share with us where do you source your Blogshop stuff from or they are self-designed by you?
ANS : I got some of my blogshop stuffs from Korea, some from Singapore suppliers that provides clothings from HongKong and Korea. I am working on my self-designed clothings, hopefully time and skills allow then I would bring out what I have designed! Hopefully I could find time to travel to some nearby countries to bring in more unique designs too!

Tell us in few words that best describe the type of fashion that you offer? (less than 10 words to be featured in the heading)
ANS :  Comfortable and simple yet creates a great first impression.

Who are mostly your online buyers or shoppers?
ANS :  Currently only my friends and their friends as I just started my blogshop about 2 months ago.

Any last word for your online buyers and fans ?
ANS :  Thank you all for the support, I would do my best to source out for newer and affordable fashion items for all to enjoy! Please invite more of your friends to my site!

ATG STudy on Online Shopping Behavior

The increasing importance of social media in driving e-commerce.

From: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/atg-study-reveals-online-shopping-behaviors-vary-significantly-and-often-unexpectedly-along-demographic-lines-2010-10-28?reflink=MW_news_stmp

ATG Study Reveals Online Shopping Behaviors Vary Significantly, and Often Unexpectedly, Along Demographic Lines

Social media is becoming a significant driver of product discovery among young consumers, and older shoppers are embracing advanced tools




CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct 28, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- --such as live help and recommendations
ATG (Art Technology Group, Inc., NASDAQ: ARTG), the premier provider of cross-channel commerce solutions, today released a new report titled "Consumer Shopping Experiences, Preferences, and Behaviors," which describes how different groups of consumers research and purchase products and services across different channels - including websites, stores, contact centers, mobile, and social channels - and how they assess these experiences.

While merchants continue to debate the return on social commerce investments, ATG's survey indicated this is an area they may be ignoring at their peril, as 29% of respondents aged 18-34 said they have discovered a product or service through a social network and 37% of those same consumers said it was "important" or "very important" that merchants provide an opportunity to interact through social networks.

In a somewhat surprising turn, the survey revealed that older demographics are also demanding advanced shopping capabilities. While consumers over age 55 are less likely to leverage social media or use their mobile devices for commerce activities, ATG's study shows they have come to rely on more advanced on-site shopping tools like live help and recommendations.

The use of mobile devices in shopping continues to rise significantly in the 18-to-34 year old demographic, with approximately 41% of respondents saying they use mobile devices to browse or research products or services, up from 23% reported in another ATG consumer research study released earlier this year. This finding indicates that mobile commerce is growing extremely rapidly over the course of weeks and months, not years, and that customers are quickly coming to expect a mobile commerce experience as consistent and satisfying as what they find on the web.

"This research shows a rapid pace of technology adoption and complex consumer behaviors now driving and shaping the future of cross-channel commerce," said Nina McIntyre, ATG's senior vice president of marketing and chief marketing officer. "This survey reveals significant opportunities for those merchants willing to understand the role that every channel plays in targeted customer experiences. It's critical that merchants have the right commerce solutions to choreograph personalized interactions, satisfying the needs of unique customer segments."

Additional highlights of the consumer benchmark survey:
47% of women shoppers cited emails from merchants as helping them to discover products, compared to 37% of men. In addition, 47% of those 55 and older said they discover products via emails from merchants, compared to 41% of those 18-34, and 39% of those 35-54. Across all age groups, search engines were the most common method to discover new online products. 50% of consumers aged 18-34 are using Facebook to "like" merchants, interact with other consumers and friends about products, post images and reviews, seek customer service, look for coupons, and post messages to a merchant's fan page. By comparison, 28% of those 35 and older are using Facebook for these shopping-related activities.

Ryan Hoppe, director of product marketing for ATG Optimization, will present key findings from the report today at Forrester's Consumer Forum 2010 in Chicago, IL.

This online study polled 1,002 respondents aged 18 and older, and was deployed by MarketTools, an independent online market research firm, in July 2010. To access the full report, visit ATG's website.

Facebook Ubiquity: Baseball, Commerce, Credit

Just a light entry here about the rising influence of Facebook.

Facebook Ubiquity: Baseball, Commerce, Credit

Posted by Sheila Shayon on October 28, 2010 01:00 PM

"Take me out to the ball game" has new meaning as Facebook (and Twitter) change the way fans 'watch' the World Series. As the World Series opened in San Francisco baseball fans in the stands were outfitted with smartphones and laptops while virtual fans congregated on social networking sites to share every pitch, hit, strike and out. MLB.com CEO Bob Bowman cites Facebook and mobile as an increasingly important hub for fans, telling USA Today: "Baseball is well suited to constant updates for every pitch, and the smartphone is the ideal vehicle to view live entertainment."

Facebook is also an increasingly important player in the emergence of e-commerce store-fronts, which began over a year ago when 1-800-Flowers launched a store powered by Alvenda – the beginning of sales transaction within the FB environs. One drawback, however: Alvenda uses Adobe Flash.

Flash forward a year, and new FB apps (free and fully integrated) don’t require Flash, such as Payvment, now the lead shopping platform on FB. Using PayPal’s “Adaptive Payments” API, this app "transforms" Facebook "into a gigantic department store where users can keep their purchases with them across thousands of Payvment-powered storefronts on Facebook and do the checkout at any point.”

And then…there’s Facebook Credits: “Boiling the story down to its bizarre essence, brick-and-mortar retail establishments are now selling real cards holding imaginary money to buy things which don't actually exist," notes MediaPost. Already available at Target stores, FB Credits gift cards can be used for in-game purchases in FarmVille or Bejeweled Blitz or at Walmart and Best Buy. Walmart offers $5, $10 and $25 gift cards, and Best Buy will sell them in $10, $25 and $50 increments.

On the darker side of social media, there's this distressing item (via Mashable): a young mother today pleaded guilty to shaking her three-month-old son to death — for crying while she played FarmVille on Facebook. It's not the first case of a virtual addiction overtaking real life (and sanity) — nor, we fear, the last.

Shopping Blogs are NOT Blog Shops

This site supports the idea that blogs are for 'blogging' and that making EC sites out blogshops is an idea  unique to parts of SE Asia.

This site catalogues the best shopping blogs, a term that does not mean retail blogs but blogs that act as guides, reviews, advise, advertising, aggregation of deals and other finds on the Internet, showcases for the bloggers' own collections, creations and inspirations, hints, tips, tricks and trends, ramblings, resources, etc but not outright selling.
