Well, <\/span><b>social commerce is directly concerned with selling products via a social media platform<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This involves creating a shopping experience which can be enjoyed without even having to leave the social app.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In-app social shopping experiences can be more bespoke than shopping directly on a website, as the brand tailors the suggested products displayed in your feed to match your shopping behaviours.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The big selling point is that you can also make purchases within the social app, and don\u2019t have to worry about clicking off and being directed to the website to complete the transaction.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, ecommerce is linked to more transactional sales that are made directly on the website or through related marketplaces. These are often less personalised and don\u2019t hold the same capabilities as its social commerce counterpart.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-162afbe elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"162afbe\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d7c55c1\" data-id=\"d7c55c1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6abc2ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6abc2ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The evolution of Social Commerce<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-166210e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"166210e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-19b59cc\" data-id=\"19b59cc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-890e4d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"890e4d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be surprised to hear that the emergence of social commerce can be traced back over the last 20 years.
