2 1. How can one use the Polyvore Editor to create designs? Watch the short video (2:02 min. by Polyvore titled How to Create a Set in the Polyvore Editor at vimeo.com/ The application allows for the creation of different combinations of items. 2. The company added supermodel Tyra Banks as an investor in Comment on the logic of this. Opinions will vary, but the addition of Tyra Banks acts as an endorsement for the company. 3. Jacobs (2010) writes, Polyvore is a lot like playing paper dolls with pictures of real clothes. Discuss. Student perceptions will vary. 4. Read Jacobs (2010) and explain what and how people create at Polyvore. Also identify the critical success factors of this site. 5. Explain the statement made by Polyvore s vice president of product management: Our mission is to democratize fashion. The company seeks to allow all those that use its features to create clothing combinations to share with others (instead of a few designs doing this). 6. Identify all the features of a shopping community in this case. This group has the same interests, and will rely on suggestions from others in the group to make purchases. REVIEW QUESTIONS 1. Define social shopping and describe its drivers. Social shopping (also known as Sales 2.0) is online shopping with social media tools and platforms and using sharing shopping experiences with friends. The large number of people visiting social networks attracts advertisers. Changing customers shopping habits (see infographic at visual.ly/social-media-changing-wayyour-customers-show-online).
3 The increasing number of recommendations/suggestions made by friends and the ease and speed of accessing them. The pressure from top management to increase effectiveness and efforts to improve overall efficiency of marketing in general. The need to compete (e.g., by differentiation) and to satisfy the social customers. The emergence of social customers with knowledge and competence in using the Internet (e.g., in finding reviews and comparing prices). The need to collaborate with business partners. The huge discounts provided by some of the new business models (e.g., flash sales), causing customers to buy more goods/services. The socially-oriented shopping models (e.g., group buying, communities). The ease of shopping while you are using social networks (e, g., the Facebook Buy button). The ease of communicating with friends in real time using Twitter and mobile devices. 2. List the major benefits of social shopping. Social shopping can provide benefits to buyers such as: Get super deals (50 to 90% discounts) via group buying, daily specials, and more. Join Groupon for daily deals. Socialize while shopping and receive social support and rewards. Discover products/services you never knew existed (e.g., see thisnext.com). Interact directly with vendor (brand) representatives easily and quickly (e.g., feature available at stylehive.com). Increase confidence and trust in online shopping by interacting with friends. Shop anytime from any place. Exchange shopping tips with friends, fans, and others. Therefore, you can learn from other shoppers experiences.
4 Build and share wish and gift lists. Shop together with people like you. Get simplified comparisons, even in real time. Communicate in real time while shopping with friends and others using Twitter and other social media tools. The seller can: Improve overall sales unit productivity (e.g., see Smith and Ballve 2013). Increase revenue growth per customer. Gain feedback from new customers. Learn from customers. Increase customer loyalty and trust. Quickly liquidate overstocked or obsolete merchandise. 3. List the major models of social shopping. Briefly describe their capabilities. Group buying Deal purchases (flash sales), such as daily special offers Shopping communities and clubs Recommendation sites Marketplaces Innovative models Shopping for virtual products and services Location-based shopping
5 Shopping presentation sites (e.g., at YouTube) and gaming sites (Chapter 9) Peer-to-peer models (e.g., money lending; Chapter 9) B2B shopping (Chapter 9 and Gillin and Schwartzman 2011) 4. Describe ratings, reviews, and recommendations. Ratings and reviews by friends, even by people that you do not know (e.g., experts or independent third-party evaluators), are usually available for social shoppers. In addition, any user has an opportunity to contribute reviews and participate in relevant discussions. Recommendation engines allow shoppers to receive advice from other shoppers and to give advice to others. 5. How do customers and patrons of establishments conduct ratings and reviews? Merchants allow ratings and reviews to be entered on their sites, general from the product page. Some site verify purchasers as a part of their ratings. 6. Relate recommendations to social reviews and ratings. Recommendations work in a similar fashion to social reviews, since they represent a third-party evaluate of the product/service. 7. Describe social marketplaces and list their benefits. The term social marketplace refers to a marketplace that uses social media tools for enabeling shoppers to perform activities, such as the buying and selling of products, services, and resources. As with any other marketplace, a social marketplace brings sellers and buyers together to connect and transact. The social marketplace is an intermediary that provides the infrastructure and procedures for transactions, including display, product discovery, interactions, comparisons, security, and payments. 8. Define group buying. How does it work with flash sales? The group buying model describes a group of people who come together to get a quantity discount. 9. Define social communities and social clubs as they relate to marketing. How do they work?
6 The most popular method involves communities, managed by an independent company, which provide many services and opportunities. Fashion-oriented communities such as Polyvore are very popular. The communities provide opportunities for designers to create designs and see how much the communities like them. Social clubs limit membership, but they operate in a similar manner to open communities. Communities and clubs may be structured as marketplaces, or operate as referral services, generating income per click by potential buyers who click on the sellers' logo. They may also receive a commission from actual purchases. 10. Describe Kaboodle and list its major capabilities. Why is it so successful? Kaboodle is a large, comprehensive social shopping community and network, according to kaboodle.com/zm/about. According to crunchbase.com/product/kaboodle, Kaboodle is a free service that lets users collect information from the Web and store it on a Kaboodle list that can be shared with others. The site s primary goal is to simplify shopping by making it easier for people to find items they re interested in and by allowing users to share recommendations with one another using Kaboodle lists and groups. The Add to Kaboodle button simplifies the online shopping experience because, once installed, the user can simply click on it whenever a product is selected from any website. Then, a snapshot of the selected item, its price, and other product information is automatically uploaded with a link about where to place it on Kaboodle lists. The user then can find any specific item in the future. Users can also discover deals, find new products, express their unique styles, connect with others, share their discoveries, blog, create shopping lists, and more. 11. Define social marketplaces and describe what happens there? The term social marketplace refers to a marketplace that uses social media tools for enabeling shoppers to perform activities, such as the buying and selling of products, services, and resources. As with any other marketplace, a social marketplace brings sellers and buyers together to connect and transact. The social marketplace is an intermediary that provides the infrastructure and procedures for transactions, including display, product discovery, interactions, comparisons, security, and payments. 12. Define virtual goods and explain why people buy them. Virtual goods are computer images of real or imaginary goods. These include, but are not limited to, properties and merchandise on Second Life (such as virtual mobile phones to equip your avatar), and a large number of items sold in multiplayer games on social networks (e.g., FarmVille on Facebook).
7 13. Describe the major shopping aids. In addition to the typical e-commerce shopping aids such as comparison engines and recommendations, there are special aids for social commerce. The major types of tools and methods are: Customer ratings and reviews. Customer testimonials. Expert ratings and reviews. Sponsored reviews. Conversational marketing. Video product review. Blogger reviews. 14. Describe social shopping in the near future. Imagine this scenario: A retailer will ask you to log in with Facebook on your mobile device as soon as you step into a physical store. In this way, users can receive customized recommendations on their mobile phones. What about the risks? Privacy is a concern to many, but less important to millennials who frequently share their experiences with others. In addition, sometimes people do not need to reveal their full identity on an in-store screen. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION AND DEBATES 1. Compare group buying to shopping together.
