New York, September 14, 2021 – Emplifi, the leading unified customer experience platform, today announced the launch of Emplifi Social Commerce Cloud, offering industry-first social commerce capabilities for CMOs, ecommerce leaders and social media teams charged with driving high conversion rates and increased revenue across social platforms. The innovative, first of its kind platform delivers a full suite of solutions to enable the social shopping experience by synchronizing social commerce activities across platforms, providing automated and live assistance during the shopping experience, and giving brands a single, holistic view of their social commerce efforts, along with advanced analytics.
The latest reports from industry analysts forecast retail social commerce sales to grow 35% this year in the US specifically, reaching more than $36 billion in sales by the end of 2021. That number is expected to grow to nearly $79 billion in the next four years. To help brands remain competitive across the social commerce landscape and maximize their ecommerce tactics, Emplifi Social Commerce Cloud contains a full range of social commerce tools, including:
“Social commerce is the next frontier for cutting-edge B2C brands that wish to connect, convert and monetize today’s shoppers. Social media shops are rapidly becoming the new shopping malls,” said Emplifi CEO Mark Zablan. “We’re excited to release Emplifi Social Commerce to the market to enable our customers to revolutionize the shopping experience, win unprecedented conversion rates and drive revenue gains.”
“Social Commerce is quickly becoming a significant revenue stream for brands as today’s shoppers increase their reliance on social media as the de facto platform for communication, entertainment – and now – shopping,” said Alan Webber, VP, Digital Strategy and Customer Experience at IDC. “The opportunity of social commerce as a sales channel can no longer be ignored.”
Emplifi Social Commerce Cloud is the first major platform announcement from Emplifi since the company’s rebranding earlier this year. With the goal of unifying marketing, commerce, and customer care through AI-powered CX solutions, Emplifi was born from the combined technology of the customer experience platform Astute Inc. and the social media marketing platform Socialbakers.
