Social Shopping Enters A New Era With PPLBlastoff.com Social Shopping And The Prepaid Legal Connection
This site adds the reach and power of social media to an e-commerce setting, enabling its members to earn income from not only their own purchases, but also from the purchases made by people they refer to the network. Outlet shopping, meet the shopping malls in cyberspace. What's The Big Deal About Blast Off?Here's the gist of this unique form of ecommerce. Retailers are always hungry for potential customers. They tend to spend a huge chunk of their budget in pursuit of new clients while attempting to hold onto current customers. From marketing, to advertising and everything in between, this expenditure is seen as a cost of doing business and it is no small investment. What if some of these companies were able to reduce this outlay by word-of-mouth, the best form of advertising? What if they could find an army of ready, willing and able recruits, all eager to share their business model with everyone they knew? Well, The Blast Off Network did just that. They partnered with over 365 of the top retailers and merchants nationwide who had in-store shopping, as well as ecommerce capabilities. They gathered them all in one place, (a cyber shopping square), and laid at their disposal, Prepaid Legal Services' army of over 400,000 active independent sales associates. Each associate would be given a free site from which they could broadcast to their contacts, the particulars and benefits of joining PPL Blast Off as a member. They could do this via email, social media, snail mail or any other avenue available to them. The network then track all purchases and pay monthly cash rebates based upon all eligible sales. Read the article, "What Is Blast Off?" for a more detailed account of how the pay outs are awarded. PPL associates would do well to read this article written specifically for Independent Associates, "Associates Blastoff". Here's a short list of some of the major retailers onboard with the Network.
No doubt, the entire network marketing industry is watching this very closely. The social mall approach is a totally different way of doing business and success will quickly signal the onslaught of copycats. Simply put, this is the most opportune time of all to get involved in the online shopping arena. For a look at a real working member's site go here: TeamDreamweavers Blast-Off Website. Social Shopping is the future Of EcommerceA MMD Newswire press release from October 14, 2009, cites Blastoff Communications, LLC of Dallas, Texas, the operators of The Blastoff Network, as having already broken into Alexa's top 2000 most visited websites in the United States. This alone is quite amazing since, as of the date of this writing, this program is not yet available to the general public. So far, this exposure has been due solely to the buzz created by the Pre-paid Legal associates and their friends and families. About Alexa.com Many websites go for years before making the Alexa Top 2000. Some never do. To be able to achieve this in a few short weeks is a monumental accomplishment all by itself and the best is yet to come. Alexa is a web services site continually crawling all publicly available web sites to create a series of snapshots of the Web. They use the data they collect to provide site information such as: traffic rankings, pictures of sites, links pointing to sites and a whole lot more. Expect more to come as the word spreads. Recent interviews, soon to be published in the Wall Street Journal and Success Magazine will ensure that. The Founder and current CEO of Blast Off Network™, William Rodgers, puts it this way:
By now, it should be quite clear that social Shopping, i.e. Blast Off, even though it's not here fully, IS here to stay.
