Digital Scrapbooking Grows Up by Incorporating Social E-Commerce

RAFFLES PLACE, Singapore - March 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Singapore: Digital scrapbooking is finally learning how to pay for itself. While a host of scrapbooking sites like Pinterest struggle with monetization, Shoppyn represents the next generation in social e-commerce with a simple, image-rich buying-and-selling community. Two decades ago, eBay revolutionized online commerce by making it easy to buy and sell things. Now, Shoppyn is taking e-commerce into the future with an extremely simple platform where users can collect images and video across the web, share it along with prices and detailed information and discover others who share their interests.

Shoppyn solves the biggest problem with earlier e-commerce platforms – how cumbersome the process of advertising has become. Brands and individuals on Shoppyn have no barriers to getting their goods online with visuals, pricing, and other vital information. Also, there is no filling out of complex forms before promoting goods and customers can purchase what they want right on Shoppyn with a buy button beside the image. To start selling, all that a seller has to do is use the bookmark button and their existing ads from other sites will be fetched automatically. Shoppyn sums up the process in six words: Snap it, Pin it, Sell it.

One of the greatest challenges facing brands and consumers using e-commerce in the new global marketplace is that there are too many options. Consumers have been increasingly discovered that simple searches cannot bring them what they want. Increasingly, consumers have been turning to advice from image-rich social networks and focussed-topic communities to find out which items currently are the best, the most popular and offer the greatest value on the market.

There are three main ways Shoppyn is streamlining the e-commerce process:

Collecting – The Pin It button saves images, videos and links from anywhere on the web
Sharing – The community-based platform makes it easy to connect with others that share interests and to share pins with Facebook, Twitter and other networks.
Discovery – Users can explore different boards and communities, even contact sellers through a private messaging system.

Shoppyn makes it easy for sellers to present their goods with prices, detailed descriptions, high-resolution images and video. Shoppers can save what they are interested in and discover what their friends are shopping for at the same time. Digital scrapbooking and shopping online are a natural fit but no other platform has been able to accomplish it so simply until Shoppyn made social e-commerce a reality.
