7. What are the arguments against f-commerce?
The likelihood that Facebook will ever [become] a key sales-driving tool for retailers andcreating a reliable revenue stream for Facebook, is unfortunately far-fetched.SucharitaMulpuru, Forrester
The market opportunity for selling on Facebook is tiny - even the most enthusiasticprojections forecast a market size only 1/3 of that of mobile commerce, representing amaximum of 4% of digital commerce
Online shoppers don't want to buy on Facebook - a Booz & Allen report on socialcommerce found that 73% of online shoppers would not purchase goods on Facebook orthrough other social networking sites
Facebook itself is an immature and risky platform - do you really want to be investing innext year's MySpace?
Where's the money? No major brand, retailer or independent study has yet provided
compelling evidence that selling with/on Facebook unequivocally drives ROI or CLV(customer lifetime value)
Businesses find social networks to be a particularly ine!ective new customer acquisitiontool; only 7% of retailers say Facebook is an e!ective customer acquisition source).
F-commerce will not take o!because Facebook has a reputation for apathy aroundprivacy issues. (Forrester)

f-commerce FAQ
7. What are the main arguments against f-commerce? (ctd)
The Open Graph protocol is useless for all but the very large companies such as Amazon- just look at your friends store on Levi's -pretty empty isn't it?
Whenonly 1% of site visitors come from a social media URL, it's di#cult to take Facebookseriously as an e-commerce tra#c generator
Email marketing campaigns can boast an 11% click-through rate and a 4% conversionrate, Forrester's findings show that Facebook can only generate a 1% click-through rate,
with only 2% of those people converting to actual customers
According to aGoldman Sachs survey, Facebook has little e!ect on online shoppingactivity
Facebook is better adapted to marketing than selling; its useful for promoting marketingmessages and communicating brand personality, but not processing transactions, whichare best completedon the company website
Enabling e-commerce on Facebook, when you already have an e-commerce solution onthe open web creates redundancy and is therefore pointless

f-commerce FAQ
12. What are some tips for getting started with f-commerce?
Start with the Smile: Start with the customer smile, not the sell, platform or software.How can you use f-commerce to make your (best) customers smile?
Ask not how you can sell better with Facebook, ask how you can help your customersshop better with Facebook
Begin by listening to your customers; run a customer workshop - would they buy fromyou with or on Facebook, how would they like to buy, and what would they want to buy?
Think of Facebook as a social Operating System not a social network-the goal of f-commerce should be to turn social data into social value for the customer
Set clear objectives based on what are you trying to achieve; are you looking toacquire new customers, improve customer loyalty (repeat purchase), stimulateadvocacy,monetise Facebook investment, or optimise sales?
Say NO to silos; f-commerce should link in with your CRM program and/or multi-
channel sales strategy Manage expectations from the outset- whether you're looking for smiles or sales -
Facebook is an experimental channel, and
Establish your benchmark RPL(revenue per like) and PRS(revenue per share) - usethese starting f-commerce metrics to track your performance
Begin with quick wins; integrate social plugins with your web-store, and install a simplestorefront app on your Facebook page - measure impact on tra#c,
order value, conversion and shares19

12. What are some tips for getting started with f-commerce? (ctd)
Make it Easy, Secure & Social- three critical success factors in f-commerce
Don't let social get in the way of the sale; think frictionless commerce for f-commerce- use Facebook to take the speed bumps out of shopping
Don't clone; don't just replicate your web-store in Facebook, o!er something exclusive,new and compelling that customers can't get elsewhere;fan-first or fan-only exclusives
Provide incentives- reward customers for social activity andsocial interactions thatshare and spread the word. Digital, in-kind, and monetary incentives help foster customerloyalty and advocacy
Exploit urgency and limited quantity. Beyond the great deal, make o!ers time andvolume sensitive to create buzz and a sense of occasion
Use exclusivity: Make your Facebook customers feel special by giving them exclusiveaccess, information and products
Enable sharing with friends before and after buying- to allow customers tofriendsource advice on what to buy and share their purchase
Don't forsake e-commerce for f-commerce, you need them both - f-commerce for thesocial consumer, e-commerce for the traditional consumer
Measure the smiles as well as the sales- use analytics software and Facebook Insight -but look for the smiles behind the numbers; a happy customer is a returning customerand a recommending customer
