ecommerce/social network site mash-up
ecommerce/social network site mash-up
Idea Description
By combining the technology of both social networking sites and ecommerce stores this idea would create a mash-up of the two resulting in a ecommerce concept built to create a following of customers. For example I sell shirt X online where others who have purchased shirt X have submitted photos of themselves wearing it. These photos are shown along side the product photos and when clicked on link to customers profiles. Customers who have purchased similar items can connect with others with similar interest (in this instance say fashion).
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Source programming help to build the platform. Working storefront will be created using a university coop (clothing, novelties) as the niche brand where students and alumni can purchase branded gear and submit photos and create profiles to network with fellow students and alumni. Using university site as a marketing tool, the platform will then be promoted as a service to existing niche brands.
