New Social Media

There is so much out there in terms of social media and social networking that it is hard to even think of something that we don't have yet. But in reality, there is SO much that we do not know about yet and do not have yet. With all the technology advances that we have seen over the past few years, this is only the beginning of social media and social networking.

My love for fashion has turned me into an obsessive shopper. I think that department stores, such as Bloomingdales, Saks, Barneys, etc should all have social networking sites. Every person has their favorite department store that they are into, mine is Bloomigdales (and Saks too). I think it would be brilliant if there would be a site that could connect shoppers and let them blog and chat and becomes friends. Everyone has one thing in common - their love of fashion, through this they can communicate and build a friendship. Sharing ideas and fashion tips. In addition it would be amazing if there would be commentators online that are professional shoppers and stylists. There can be rewards and prizes for winners of games and competitions. And special promotions and coupons for frequent users of the site. The site will keep users up to date on what is happening in store and online-- specials, promotions, new arrivals, etc.

This is a fashion lovers dream come true!! :-)

  1. its a good idea but unfortunately since facebook exists, there would be no use of these social networking sites, since most of these stores have a facebook page with a lot of followers, it would just be a waste of resources because all the time and money they spend making the site is not going get them nearly as many people following them as their facebook page since facebook is so mainstream and nearly every one has a one.

  2. You know, it probably would be a good idea to blog with fellow shoppers about items purchased or suggestions on what to purchase for an occasion. However, that might encourage people like me to spend lots of money on clothes just to keep up with the Joneses! lol... Comparing fashion notes with fellow bloggers might make me realize that I need to keep up and that means spending more money that I don't have. Good idea but I am going to stay away so I don't get myself in trouble lol.
