Social Commerce Closes the Gap Between Discovery & Purchase
With the pandemic serving as an accelerant for e-commerce, social commerce continues to stake its claim within online purchases. Every major social platform is looking to monetize the commerce driven by its content, and it’s a race to see who can innovate fast enough to win both shoppers and branded commerce budgets. All indicators point to the staying power of social being an entry point for brand and product discovery, filling the void at the top-of-funnel moment before customers know what they’re looking for.
