subject: Do Individuals And Businesses Need A Social Network To Buy And Sell Products And Services Online? [print this page] Pinblu, a Miami based social commerce networking platform has opened the doors to businesses from all over the world. Pinblu has developed a unique model whereby products and services listed on its public databases are automatically synchronized onto an independent, yet interconnected social networking platform on the same site. On the other hand, activity from the social networking platform is synchronized onto its public databases. This innovative model marks a new beginning in social commerce.
Pinblu is beginning to change the way we do business. It allows its users to instantly post products and services onto its public databases while simultaneously sharing the listings with their business connections via a social networking platform. It tracks all activity from likes, comments, reviews, and statistical data. Pinblu is targeting the SMB market, although its business model works for most large enterprises as well.
With Pinblu's advanced search feature, individual users can search for products and services by business type. This allows buyers to purchase directly from the manufacturer. On the other hand, it allows manufacturers to easily get to the end customer without having to deal with large chains of intermediaries. This subsequently allows manufacturers to cut costs and increase their margins. On the other hand, the buyers benefit as well by purchasing products directly from the manufacturer at a fraction of the price.
Buying Requests is very common term used in Global Trade. Pinblu is one of the first to implement Buying Requests on a wholesale and retail level. Buying Requests allow for Pinblu buyers to list the name and the desired price of a product or service they want to buy. Once listed, it allows the suppliers of that specific product to reach out to the buyer and offer him the most competitive price based on the desired price he listed. It works backwards by allowing the buyer to specify how much he is willing to pay for a specific product or service and having the supplier approach the buyer and offer him the most competitive price.
Pinblu allows its users to list, sell, buy, share, and advertise their products and services, while connecting with business partners and potential customers from all over the world. It helps individuals expand their business network and helps businesses grow and gain more global exposure. At Pinblu, every trusted business contact you have is shared with other buyers and sellers who share their contacts as well. This changes the way users purchase products and services online by allowing individuals to purchase from more trusted business then ever before.
