When people talk about f-commerce – Facebook-enhanced retail – what typically comes to mind is the f-store, the Facebook store. If might be a faux-store – a ‘fake’ store(front) that doesn’t actually support transactions, but simply drives traffic to a web-store. Or it might be a fan-store, selling a limited number of fan-first/fan-exclusive products with a view of turning fans into advocates. Or it might be a full store, selling a full range of products, essentially replicating a web-store within Facebook. But it’s likely to be a store.
But f-commerce is bigger than f-stores – with the launch in 2010 of the Facebook Open Graph Protocol, along with social plugins – brands and retailers have been able to offer Facebook-enhanced retail on websites and in-store, creating a triumvirate of f-commerce opportunities
- f-commerce on Facebook
