Bridal services and Payvment are a match made in heaven
Many people often ask us what types of retailers sell on Facebook with the Payvment Storefront – and diversity is definitely in our mix. From jewelry makers to knitters to fashion designers and big brands like Gibson, Adult Swim and Amoeba Records, having a Facebook Storefront helps level the playing field between small and large businesses.
This week, we share the story behind Brides Rally who uses a Payvment Storefront to help brides-to-be find and discover great deals from top-rated wedding vendors. Robin Cheung, who founded the company, watched her Facebook fan base grow to over 1,760 in less than 6 months of offering these deals through her storefront.
Most brides nowadays highly leverage the Internet to plan for their weddings to find unique inspirational ideas, share tips and advice on bridal forums, and read vendors reviews. Sound like social sharing much?
“It was simply logical that e-commerce would give us the best reach to the bridal community,” Cheung explains, “Part of our business strategy was also to bring the bulk of our company information, featured deal and shopping experience onto Facebook to leverage the viral networking effect.”
Like any Payvment Storefront that enables “Discovery Mode” (under the Settings tab), all the items offered are also included in the Shopping Mall on Facebook, also powered by Payvment.
On the latest features release she says, “I definitely love the multiple administrators capability and the omission of Facebook permissions for customers to browse our products.”
Thanks Robin, we we’re glad you enjoying using the Payvment Storefront.

Answering The Question To: My Business Has 20,000 Facebook Likes! Now what?
If you were at the AF Expo last week, you may have caught our CEO, Christian Taylor, speaking on Wednesday addressing the question “My business has 20,000 Facebook Likes! Now what?”
Whether you’re already there or making your way to 20,000 Facebook Likes, we’ve got the answer to making your page a hot destination for your fans. Using the case study about Bob’s Farmers Market, Christian shared how offering free shipping upped Bob’s produce sales and got him more visibility among other merchants who didn’t. Studies show that 46% of retailers say it helps increase profits and lots of articles out there show merchants how to calculate the free shipping equation.
He goes on to explain how Bob is very engaged with his audience: sharing recipes, tweeting which farmers markets he’d be at, and posting photos of life on the farm and his dear cow, Bessie. With easy direct-on-Facebook check out and a reliable fulfillment team, Bob’s business has expanded beyond just collecting Likes for his page and products.
You can choose to have your entire inventory available on your Facebook page or promote seasonal items.
“Get ready for the future of Facebook shopping.” – Christian Taylor

IRCE 2011 Recap
This year’s show at IRCE was a great success! It was hard to miss us if you were there. As this year’s Lead Sponsor, we had lunchboxes, banners and signs directing folks to our booth so they could find out how to launch a free store on Facebook – and meet part of the team behind Payvment. The foot traffic was non-stop and even though some had lost their voice by the end of show, our enthusiasm remained the same. All we can say is, thank goodness for thick carpet padding!
Our social-savvy CEO, Christian Taylor, found time to do a handful of interviews and meet face-to-face with lots of Payvment users. It was a great opportunity to promote Payvment and educate retailers on how social e-commerce can help their businesses grow. Some of the commonly asked questions by attendees were: What do you guys do? How does it work? What’s the catch (no really, we’re free)!
When we explained how simple it was to launch a store on Facebook, people were stunned. Then we went on to tell them about the numerous social sharing features and how they would serve as a complementary marketing tools – they started asking for a couple more pamphlets to bring back with them.
One attendee stopped by to ask for more tips on how to fully utilize his newly-launched Payvment store. We suggested he follow us on Twitter and Facebook to read all the helpful articles we post daily for best practices and f-commerce trends. It’s always nice to help our community grow.
Our next big show will be in Boston for the Shop.Org Annual Summit. Will you be there too? Come see us at Booth #1052, get some swag and meet the Payvment Team.
In the meantime, our support is available 24/7. We welcome questions, comments and suggestions at http://support.payvment.com.
