From Being Social
to
Buying Social
Enabling businesses with
Social Commerce
Social Commerce is not stand alone,
it had arrived the day you opened your brand for display.
1
The big questions that brands ask:
Are we ready for it, yet?
The time has come to measure and promote it...
Its your silent benefactor.
Does your organization do the following on social?
• Nurtures a community on any social network?
• Creates or curates content?
• Uses social media to engage and interact with consumers?
• Listens to conversations around the brand?
• Uses social ads and promotions?
• Does consumer research?
• Recruits through social platforms?
• Encourages referrals on social platforms?
2
If the answer to any of these is YES,
then your organization , in one way or the other,
is already doing business through Social Media

FUTURE GAZING – WHAT WILL PLAY OUT IN THE NEXT THREE
YEARS
FORESIGHTS
• Focus to shift from Big Data to
Unified Data
• Advocacy & Referrals to be the
harbinger of Acquisitions
• Social CRM to turn into a necessity
• Underwriting to go social and social
risk to become a global parameter
15
CHALLENGES
• Data integration in view of
regulations and data policies
• Limitations of tools to measure a
“criss-crossing” consumer journey
• The approach to social –
Fragmented instead of Business
centric
• Security & Privacy concerns
• Absence of platform agnostic
development technologies that lead
to inflated costs and timelines
