We didn’t invent the term “Social Commerce.” but we certainly have driven the visibility and clarified the meaning of the term over the past couple years. Unlike other “social” terms, the point of social commerce (and our company) is driving participation between your customers (social) in ways that drives real operational results (commerce). I wrote an article about the meaning of social commerce placed in eConsultancy and iMedia over a year ago.

So it’s natural that we are fanatic about measuring the real impact (in terms of P&L) of our solutions. In fact, we have over 40 case studies, and have published 21 of them (so far) to our web site. Many more are coming related to the impact of Ask & Answer, Stories, and international deployments of our social commerce solutions.

While these case studies are listed on our site, many have asked for them and may not have seen them. So, I thought you may find it useful to see the list here. We also have PDFs of these case studies if you’d like them. Just email info (at) bazaarvoice.com, or you can download them directly from the site. Also, check out our white papers and research.
