Commerce by Community™
What is Commerce by Community™ (CBC)?
 Commerce by Community™ is simply that, a community buying, selling, exchanging, referring goods and services directly through each other. GSS is your Commerce by Community™ (CBC). A community that contributes to both networking and viral marketing. Become a member and meet other people and entrepreneurs like yourself and gain support, share experiences, and be a part of each others CBC.
Most importantly, the Commerce by Community makes smoother and better communications directly between buyer and seller. An important feature that is lacking in the typical e-commerce world. More and more consumers are leaving e-commerce for superior one-on-one communications and customer service that GSS's Commerce by Community™ can bring.
What is the CBC mission?
 The mission of Commerce by Community™ is to support the success of emerging as well as established businesses catering to women by participating in networking, viral marketing, and providing smoother, smarter, and better communications directly between buyer and seller to expedite success.
How does the CBC practice this mission?
1. Networking & Viral Marketing
Business Networking and Viral Marketing are powerful sales tools. The community refers each other when the opportunity arises. There's nothing better than getting a good referral. When you're on the site and see something a friend may like, you'll have the opportunity to e-mail a friend the Shop Spot you've found.
There will also be a feature under your Shop Spot Management where you will be able to recommend other great Shop Spots on your page. This is where you can list other links to Shop Spots that you have found great products and services on and you want others to discover as well.
Referring GirlShopSpot.com will also bring many potential customers to the site. The more people know about your Shop Spot, the faster viral marketing will take effect in letting people know you are in business and they can easily learn about what great products and services you have to offer them.
2. Commerce by Community Forum™
Become a member of Girl Shop Spot's Commerce by Community Forum™ to ask questions, offer advice, connect with business professionals, share experiences, and meet new people like yourself. We can't wait to hear what you have to say, join today!
3. Superior Communications
GSS offers unique opportunities for consumers to come in contact directly with the advertiser. While interacting directly, advertisers have the opportunity to provide the superior service we are all seeking today. Unlike retail or wholesale selling or even other online selling, advertisers can also receive valuable feedback to their products and services.
In fact this data becomes invaluable for product/service development, planning/logistics for shipping, competitive and marketplace analysis, as well as relationship building and referrals. It's "virtually" close-loop business analysis in real time.
4. Shop Talk
We are very excited to announce one of GirlShopSpot.com's newest features, Shop Talk, providing smoother communications between buyer and seller. Shop Talk is not your typical comments section. You won’t find it on other social communities and shopping sites. With Shop Talk you own and manage it. Use it as a forum or micro-blog on your Shop Spot page (see definition of micro-blog below). Create new topics, blog about your business, share exciting news and ideas; be creative with how you use it. Stay connected by adding topics, asking and answering questions. Join in on other Shop Talks.
Anyone who contributes to a specific thread of your micro-blog or forum topic will receive instant messaging that a new post has been made from that thread, so Shop Talk gives you a hand-free way to keep conversations rolling. And the best is yet to come. Soon you will also be able to manage your Shop Talk's discussion threads. You’ll get to decide which topic threads you want to showcase on your Shop Spot page under Shop Talk.
To bring Shop Talk full circle, shoppers are also able to initiate or choose topics, ask questions, and reply within the community.
So share, listen, learn, and prosper through GSS Shop Talk.
Micro-Blog Definition -
"Micro-blogging is a form of blogging that allows users to write brief text updates (usually less than 200 characters) and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be chosen by the user. These messages can be submitted by a variety of means, including text messaging, instant messaging, email, MP3 or the web. The popular social networking websites Facebook and MySpace also have a micro-blogging feature, called Status Update." From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why is CBC Important to my Business?
GSS's Commerce by Community™ is offering a wealth of opportunities and information that makes both seller and consumer more intelligent...all the while, and just as importantly, making the entire experience enjoyable.
