The Social Shopping Revolution

If one is in the UK, the first thing someone does before ever making a purchase is to seek out opinions from friends… but not in person or even calling them up… they use social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, and other channels.

Americans are catching up using Tweets, Facebook and other Social Network Channels and businesses everywhere are taking advantage of this new Social Shopping Revolution. The only challenge is consumers are still limited in getting the word on great deals… it is a one-to-one relationship.

But what if a company took this Social Shopping Revolution to the next level by offering comparison shopping from multiple stores in one location which consumers could Tweet or Facebook out to friends and family? One such company has done just that by making it easy to search and compare prices in “one” location which will go viral faster because of additional rewards such “Cash Back”. And, if you ask how much the cost is for this service? It is totally FREE!

Here is an excellent scenario showing the sheer brilliance of this new shopping resource and service: Let’s say your friend receives a Tweet that a special sale is taking place at a favorite store. You both go there looking for a special garment, gift, pair of shoes, pants (you get my drift), and your friend gets all excited about “The Find” and says I have just got to get this!You look at the price and it is $94.95 which is $40.00 off the regular price… great deal right? Well up till now it would have been.

You pull out your mobile device and bring up www.InYourHomeMall.com to see if the same item is online and discover it is, and at the same price at the same store however, because you searched for the item InYourHomeMall.com not only did “The Find” show up in that store it also showed up in two other stores. One particular store has “The Find” for $10.00 less at $84.95. That store however is located 25 miles away. Some people will go 25 miles to save $10.00 however you don’t have to go there. Not only can you save $10.00 by purchasing “The Find” in the other store, you are going to save time and the cost of gas. What’s even better is the possibility of no sales tax when purchasing on the internet; because of the economy, and stiff competition, businesses are beginning to wave shipping and handling.

So, you order “The FindInYourHomeMall.com and continue enjoying the day shopping without having to lug around “The Find”. But wait… there is one other advantage in purchasing “The FindInYourHomeMall.com.  As you were comparing prices of “The Find” there was also a little green “Cashback” next to “The Find” displaying an additional 6% cash back when purchased InYourHomeMall.com. That is an additional $5.70 savings.

Now tell me you aren’t going to go out and share that type of savings with family and friends on Twitter, Facebook or any other social media outlet. Of course, everyone shares great deals they find and in this case referrals are rewarded with an additional reward.
