Soldsie - Sell your products through Facebook comments!

Did you know you can sell your products using only the Facebook comments? When I first read about this I thought it was a joke. You know, like "look how social medias are taking over the world" joke. But than I saw the website, it was real. And really cool.



If you have a Facebook Business page you can use Soldsie. Soldsie is an application that lets you transforme your timeline in your store, publishing products and allowing your fans to buy only with a comment.

It works like this: you insert photos and information about your product for sale in the app Soldsie, which publishes the ad on your wall as a post. Whoever wants to buy just need to write the word "Sold!" in the comments. Automatically, you receive a notification and send confirmation of the sale to the buyer. After that, the person receives a message with a link to complete the payment via Paypal. All very quick and simple.





The service is free for the first $700. After that, you pay a 3% of each sale, that includes Paypal and credit card fee, automatic invoice and inventory track.









I haven't tested yet but I must confess I felt compelled to sell my clothes in Facebook just to see how it works. Just kidding, by boyfriend's clothes.





A little video with a walkthrough:

6 Trends + Tactics >>> Impact Marketing + Social Media

An excellent presentation of the traditional customer purchase path  vs. current customer created maze of paths.  It is also clear from the graphics that hoteliers (and other businesses) need to rethink their website as the 'final destination' and change their focus from driving customers to the website site to meeting customers at THEIR preferred touchpoint.

The reality of online commerce is that it is cluster shaped.  Sharp online commerce professionals will adopt an ecosystem approach. Slide 20 stands out as the cluster of commerce is well illustrated

Multiple digital touchpoints give rise to other issues

  • Available resources - experience, staff + budget
  • Maximizing for interdependencies - various touchpoints working in sync
  • How to differentiate in the crowded social fields
Is your organization thinking cluster?
