Social sharing and recommendations in e-commerce had a huge impact on sales.

I found interesting infographics that present the recent analysis of the USA market.
It presents the growing importance of Pinterest as a recommendation platform.
It is really interesting.
Most shares are related to apparel, home, and electronics.
No surprise for me. I do the same.

Each channel has different types of shares and conversation rates. It looks like email is the most valuable.

Twitter is good for holidays and home, Google Plus for electronics, sports, and apparel, and Facebook – for apparel, electronics, and sports:).

Some social media channels are most popular in the USA but I think the trend is really similar to Poland.

Polyvore is quite unknown in Poland, but you can use it for clothes, children’s products, and other home-related products. Pinterest is similar, but home equipment has been replaced with health products. You can notice many diets and healthy food-related pins.

Wishpot is a wishlist portal where you can share your shopping list or wish list. It seems to be a good place for recommendations and sharing.

StumbleUpon – a place to present the best websites filtered by your interest.

Social media in 2017

The rise of mobile usage, combined with shortened attention and the common usage of Facebook, has made social login essential for quick and easy experiences in eCommerce.
Events are now made easy with Social Login, Social Sign-Up, and Social Entry buttons. Form fills are now a single-touch rather than a multi-field process.

Some statistics:

32.8% of social account creators actively buy products and are likelier to share brand stories and help brands gain social organic traffic.

Facebook and Google are the most trusted—90% of all social logins. Facebook remains the preferred login for both brands and consumers. Consumers trust Facebook, and brands can obtain key data for specific targeting across buyers.

Organic traffic is bad for social media because all social media channels try to diminish it and earn money from adverts. On the other hand, they introduced more custom adverts for custom audiences based on your Facebook users. You can target your customers or subscribers and check their activity by adding pixels to your shop, website, online form, etc.
