ShopIgniter CEO Matt Compton on Raising $8M and the Growth of Ecommerce on Facebook

Founded back in 2008, when social shopping was an exciting but unproven idea, ShopIgniter has been building its business among clients who have real-world goods to sell online, with a focus on Facebook. And like some of its rivals have recently, the Portland, Ore. company has raised more funding, an $8 million second round led by Silicon Valley venture firm Trinity Ventures with existing investor Madrona Venture Group participating.
The new interest is because brands that had been focused on gaining Facebook fans in past years are now looking for what do next, as chief executive Matt Compton tells us in an interview today. For many Page owners, that means selling direct. ShopIgniter has a set of interlocking products aimed at meeting this emerging need.
One is a customizable white-label application for Pages, with ways to adjust the look and feel to match the page, tools for easily sort through product offerings, and other features seen social commerce apps. The Portland TrailBlazers basketball team, for example, has been using it to sell team merchandise on its Page. Compton tells us that in a recent test between on and off Facebook sales for a brand, conversions were twice as high on Facebook.
A ShopIgniter product called the "Social Promotions Engine" reaches further into Facebook, helping Page managers create custom campaigns designed to get users sharing content about the brand on their Walls and news feeds in order to generate sales. In an example detailed by Ryan Spoon, Nike promoted a limited set of collectible golf balls to fans of its Page. The contest winners got free golf balls, and Nike was able to increase fan awareness of and interaction with the store. Finally, participants were also encouraged to share a news feed story about their winnings with friends.
For the Blazers, Compton wrote last month, promotions like these resulted in the Page fan count growing by 25% and, perhaps more importantly, transactions conversions originating with Facebook friends growing by 16%.
Beyond the application and promotions, ShopIgniter also provides a white-label ecommerce product for web sites. The point of it is to go beyond more general online ecommerce management products, instead capturing commerce around social interactions wherever they happen. For example, one customer may go to a web site, find a product they're thinking about buying, click the Facebook Like button, and generate a story about it in their news feed. Their friend might then click to look at the product, be taken to the Page of a company with a ShopIgniter store, and buy the product there. Meanwhile, the person who Liked the product on the site might still go to the site when they decide to complete their purchase.
A variety of competitors in the business provide their own variations on social commerce applications — some we've looked at include 8thBridge (formerly Alvenda), which announced a $10 million second round in late May, and Payvment, which added a $6 million second round in December.
With client lists growing and venture capital firms doubling down, the non-virtual goods part of the platform appears to be coming of age. We just kicked off a series on social commerce in our Facebook Marketing Bible subscription service. Stay tuned for more.

Facebook Announces PayPal Payouts to Developers for Credits Revenue

Facebook announced this morning that developers signing up for Facebook Credits now have PayPal as a payout option, increasing the flexibility developers have for monetzing apps through Facebook Credits.
This is of particular importance to developers in countries where PayPal is really the only trusted payout option for developers. Payout is the means by which a developer converts in-app currency exchanges to real money that the developer can then deposit into its bank accounts. Facebook says that the PayPal option now doubles the number of countries where developers can begin integrating Facebook Credits to 22 countries total, including Turkey, India and Japan.
Facebook Credits has been a slow road for certain social game developers in the last nine months between apparent reluctance and technical issues. The mandatory integration deadline for Facebook Credits within social  games is July 1. It is not clear if Facebook will extend the deadline for remaining countries that are experiencing difficulties with integration tied to payout complications. PayPal currently serves over 190 countries.

Vemma Opportunity

See Why I Call This The World's Perfect Business!
Now, I can imagine there might have been times in your life, maybe even now, when you wonder how you're going to pay your bills next month, or how you're going to stretch your money until payday. After all, even top entrepreneurs are worried about this treacherous economy.
Perhaps you're even facing a challenge right now that's got you concerned—worried even. You have trouble going to sleep only to wake up each morning with the same problems on your mind as the previous day.
Think about the reasons you'd like to go into business for yourself. Sure, we all want to be successful, but many folks want to be their own boss, to run things the way they see fit. To be financially free and have the extra money and time to do the things they always wanted to do.
We all want to eliminate money worries for good, bump ourselves into a higher bracket. No more going to bed at night with that all-too-familiar stress and anxiety, bile burning up from your esophagus as you reach for another antacid. Just peaceful easy sleep. Life is good!


Except Here's What They Don't Tell You

If you've ever tried to start any kind of business before, you know how hard it can be
With huge startup fees and equally huge risks, there's a tremendous personal investment required before you even see your first dollar in sales. Then when you do 'open your doors' in eager anticipation, what happens if nobody comes? Now that's a sick feeling.
It always breaks my heart when I see a small business—go out of business. You see, that was somebody's dream to be free financially, usually their life's savings, all gone...
And the challenge of succeeding in this new economy has made everyone rethink their approach to business. Besides that, here's another huge problem facing businesses today.
In his book Data Smog: Surviving the Information Glut, David Shenk reveals we were exposed to nearly 560 advertising messages per day in 1971. By 1997 the number had ballooned to over 3,000 which is the number I quote, but today even conservative estimates put it at over 10,000. Every day!
Think about that for a moment: Each time you flip through a magazine, surf the Internet or newspaper, you come across hundreds of ads. Add in every other kind of media—from television and radio ads to product placements, billboards, direct mail and postcards, ads on the sides of trucks, vans, signs hung on telephone poles, telemarketing ads—you can see how they quickly add up!
That's one of the reasons why once-profitable businesses are starting to see their customer base dry up. They're finding it increasingly difficult to capture the attention of their potential customers, even seeing sales they once took for granted shrivel up and disappear.

There's a Better Way, And Here's Why…

Most companies who advertise go about it completely wrong. I spent 5 years of my professional career in the ad business, so I've seen this first hand. In fact, I'd wager that over 90% of them are using outdated marketing strategies that fail to get real results. You can't blame them. They go about it the same way they see everyone else doing it. In my 15 years in this industry, I've found a better way!
You're about to discover what I call the Perfect Business model. This marketing concept I've put into place with Vemma only spends marketing dollars when our products are actually sold. What does this mean to you? With a laser-targeted referral system, instead of the 25%-35% most traditional companies spend on advertising that gets sucked up by ineffective media. At Vemma I cut through the 'ad-clutter' and spend a true 50% to directly reward the people responsible for promoting this tremendous product line.

All of that Presents a Tremendous Opportunity

Think about all the really important decisions you've made when it comes to doing business with someone. Like your doctor, your dentist, your attorney, your accountant. If you're in the market for a lawyer and your best friend recommends one, are you going to ignore your friend and instead respond to a lawyer ad?
Probably not. You'll at least look into your friend's suggestion, especially if his experience with that lawyer was highly favorable, right? The truth is most people will listen to a trusted friend, colleague, or family member over a biased advertisement or promotion.
And more importantly, they're most likely to ACT on that recommendation.
And that, my friend, is the biggest advantage you could have in today's cluttered advertising world.
See, everyone feels that a referral from a friend or someone you can trust goes a heck of a lot farther than a TV spot or a magazine ad. But when you think about it, those ads can cost millions of dollars—just for the hope that a person will respond to them and buy the product they're pitching.
Wouldn't it make more sense to take those same dollars—especially in this economy—and spend them more effectively? Well my company does exactly that. To the tune of paying out over $500 million dollars during my career to people just like you that are fans of our product line.
Now I'm not trying to impress you (well maybe a little bit). But the point I want to drive home is that it's easier than ever to extend your reach and cast a wider net—the likes that have never been seen before!
Online social sites like Facebook and Twitter are growing at an unbelievable rate, and for good reason: it's never been easier to build your network and make more friends and contacts.
What used to take phone calls and face-to-face encounters now can be done virtually, and get this: instead of talking to one person at a time—which puts constraints on your time and the number of people you're able to reach—now you can talk to thousands of people at once!
Don't you think that kind of reach will have an impact on your networking results? Oh, yeah!
This is the future of marketing. And it's working big time.
You see at Vemma, we empower you to harness this new social media revolutionwith your very own free marketing website, allowing you to build a network unlike anything you've seen before. Combine this social opportunity with our referral concept of directly rewarding people, and voilà, you have the perfect business at the perfect time!
When you decide to become what I call a Brand Partner for Vemma, the business you create from building a network gives you the opportunity to earn second income WITHOUT a second job! Whether you can devote 2 hours a week or 2 hours a day, Vemma is the perfect way for you to create extra income by doing something that just comes naturally—when you believe in something.
And if you're looking to turn this business into career income, you should know that it's happening for people just like you at Vemma.

What This Opportunity Is NOT...

This is not a ""get-rich-quick"" scheme. It's unfortunate that I even have to say that, but I want to make sure I'm completely clear. This is definitely NOT one of those pyramid schemes, where I promise you'll be rich overnight by recruiting others, who recruit more people, and so on.
The difference with Vemma is we have tremendous product line that people fall in love with and would buy anyway—even if we didn't offer referral bonuses. We also do not have any sign up fees and everything we sell comes with our 100% money-back guarantee.
Vemma is a young multi-million dollar company doing business in fifty countries around the world. No matter where I travel, the health stories I hear about the products are the same: more energy, clearer thinking, better sleep, even some health challenges being conquered.
The core of this business is built around giving people the health results they're looking for—or they get their money back. Pure and simple. No questions asked!
Vemma is a company that puts people before profits—a company that you can believe in. This is the best time to get involved and take action today.Think about the headlines you're seeing every day, staying healthy is on everyone's mind. In this economy, you can't afford to get sick! In fact, the number one cause of personal bankruptcy is AN ILLNESS. Most of all, because millions of people right now want wellness in their health, in their financial security and discretionary income.
Whether you're a baby boomer like me who's looking for a way to fund retirement or worried about job security. Or a member of the robust senior market that isn't ready for retirement. Maybe you're one of those twenty or thirty-somethings that are shocked to hear they average seven jobs by the time they reach thirty. Or even a teenager who wants to get a head start on your future now so they won't have to listen to someone telling them what to do for the rest of their lives.
Wherever you're starting, there's a Vemma success story of someone like you. And the more people you help, the more you'll be rewarded.
And the best part about rewarding you (and the people who've referred you) for promoting these products is it creates a network of people that are motivated to support you and help you become successful.
In short, it's a network of people. And these people say, ""We're going to do this together. We're going to succeed together.""
After all, your team only succeeds when you succeed. It's really the perfect business model.
