Marketers and business starts up companies are now beginning to capitalize on and benefit from social media interactions of individuals by creating a business ventures around the increasing public use of various social media sites. The popularity of such sites as Facebook and Twitter allows companies to earn large profits based off strong public enthusiasm towards these sites.

Social Printshop is a start-up company working to target Social Media enthusiasts. The idea of this company is to capitalize on social interactions by offering customers a physical print out of their social media connections in poster form. These prints out include Facebook fan/friend posters, Twitter prints, Social Media stickers and mini photo books which are meant to be placed on display in customer’s homes and offices. The Facebook friend poster is the most popular product offered by Social Printshop although the company has a variety of other services which are less popular.
this is kinda cool, I mean they are at least capitalizing on the popularity of Facebook but I don't know if I would personally buy a poster of all of my "friends" from facebook!
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea, I'll give it that but I can't see this company booming with business.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the other two comments. It's interesting, but there's no way I need the faces of a couple hundred acquaintances posted in my home or office. Although, I can see how it would be an interesting thing for businesses to have a print out of all of their "fans" in the office. It might act as a success metric once a company reaches a certain number of "likes".
ReplyDeleteYes the idea is interesting but not as interesting to make people or companies buy this stuff.
ReplyDeleteFor companies, why not a board in which you can follow in real time the likes on your Facebook page or the number of your followers ? :)
I think for people who love to scrapbook or whatever, part of the allure is that your putting time into it and getting some sort of gratification out of doing so. Interesting concept none the less..
ReplyDeletethis seems interesting. after all, lack of privacy has to be exploited by someone, some ways. :)
