Social media is one of the coolest things. It brings you and connects you to people you know and don't know. Unknowingly, you are part of community without being physical present all the times.
Nowadays people use social media for business purposes.
They use blogs at platform to set up online shops which are commonly known as BLOGSHOPS. Most are very advance with how their customers can make their purchases. iBanking and adding items into online carts are some examples.
Aside from this platform, there's also Instagram.
Many people scroll through Instagram everyday. So as long you follow that shop you would get to see their updates (shop post) as you scroll through. It holds an effective way of communicating as everyone can see the comments and ask or know more details.
The latest would be an application that is available on Android and iTunes: Carousell.
All these give rise to young entrepreneurs. Though many may seem like teenagers who want to earn easy profits by selling small items, there are those who are serious and grow their business from blogs.
One definite plus point is that people around the world can access and buy it. That is, if they provide shipping to wherever you are!
Aside from this, social media also gives people opportunities to post reviews and have people easily access these reviews. Just google a certain product, there would be some bloggers that would either do a wordy review or video review. Sometimes these reviews make me wonder whether this product is genuinely good or if the reviewer is just very good in convincing.
Through the various social media platforms, people able to play the seller and buyer roles. And therefore, played a big role in helping with many businesses. Also, it helped shoppers with their shopping experience.
This adds to my list of why I cannot live without the internet!
Okay this sums up how social media affects my shopping lifestyle and I'm off to Chingay (wish me luck!)
