Summary
Did you know you can sell products directly through the social media feed? No purchase journeys, no redirects, a simple click-to-buy option is all you need.
Today’s episode comes from our sister podcast, the Digital Marketer. Host Mark de Grasse sits down with Lauren Petrullo, one of the newest faculty members of the DigitalMarketer Academy to talk about the latest component of their eCommerce certification—social selling. Social selling allows you to buy in-app (on Facebook, Instagram, etc.) and never even venture to someone’s website. You’re meeting people right where they are, already browsing and shopping. The key is to make it as seamless as possible for customers to checkout directly through social media platforms.
Lauren has got her finger on the pulse of the future of eCommerce and says one thing we can do is pay close attention to where the big tech brands are investing.
Listen in to learn how you can get in on what Lauren calls “a much more mature social media commerce experience.” Discover why Ralph thinks eCommerce product categorization is an underutilized insight for remarketing.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:
- What is social commerce?
- Social commerce versus eCommerce
- The future of selling is social
- eCommerce product categorization and why it’s so important
- Why social selling shouldn’t replace your website
- How Meta is incentivizing these social stores on different platforms
- Why the U.S. is massively behind on social media trends
- What kind of data/analytics you’ll have access to in your Meta shop

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, Ralph here with something that could seriously upgrade your top of funnel ad game. |
| 0:06.8 | If you've been a PT listener for any period of time, you know that we talk about top of funnel |
| 0:10.5 | all the time and how challenging it is for you to get quality top of funnel clients or leads |
| 0:17.9 | or customers and then convert them typically at bottom of funnel. |
| 0:22.9 | Well, TV advertising is one of those areas that we haven't discussed here on PT all that much. |
| 0:29.4 | But our friends over at AdCritter have figured this stuff out. |
| 0:33.2 | They do connect to TV ads so you can be everywhere without spending millions on Super Bowl ads, |
| 0:40.2 | but they pair it with display retargeting. |
| 0:43.4 | So you're hitting the audiences with a complete approach. |
| 0:46.6 | You reach them, then you remind them, and then you collect the revenue. |

| 1:15.1 | They make it easy to connect with the right people, |
| 1:17.4 | the actual people that have interacted with your ads in the past, |
| 1:20.7 | and then allow them to naturally flow through your funnel |
| 1:23.7 | so you can convert them at bottom of funnel. |
| 1:26.9 | Now, the folks at AdCriter, we twisted |
| 1:28.8 | their arm to get us a great deal for you, the PT listener. They are offering a special deal for y'all, |
