Come and meet me at these upcoming events:

Commerce Innovation Forum – Social Commerce

90% of consumers trust the opinions of people they know, while 70% trust anonymous ratings and reviews posted online. Compare this with just 33% who trust banner advertising.  Social commerce is about leveraging word of mouth referrals to support your online sales process. Forrester reports that most retailers are unclear about the impact that social is having on sales. Let’s see what is happening in this space and what opportunities exist for brands here?
