#Compulsively checking Facebook will now include impulse shopping Facebook will soon start looking more and more like an online shopping mall.
The social network said Monday that it is adding a new mobile"shopping"tab where you can buy clothes, electronics and other items without ever leaving Facebook's confines.
For example, click on a shirt featured in a Target ad and the site will immediately direct to Target's shopping page where you can select the color
Like many of Facebook's most recent efforts, the goal is to cut down on slow loading speeds
and corral more user activity into the social network's streamlined walled garden rather than directing users off into the messy outside web.
Facebook is hoping that the smoother experience will make mobile shopping more attractive to web surfers,
who still do most of their shopping on desktop despite spending an increasing portion of their Internet time on smartphones.
"Facebook wrote in Monday's announcement.""Customers can experience slow load times and too many steps on the way to checkout.
"Facebook first began testing the new shopping features with a limited number of retailers back in July.
According to a company survey, nearly half of its 1. 5 billion users come to the site actively looking for products,
Mobile advertising is Facebook's fastest growing revenue area by far; last quarter it accounted for 76%of the social network's $3. 8 billion total ads revenue.
But because of the screen constraints and the way people typically use their smartphones, it's traditionally been hard to push mobile ads for anything other than branding purposes that is,
Facebook has been fervently trying to change that with ads that place more emphasis on prodding users into taking action
it's doing this by absorbing features that would've previously required loading a separate page for an advertiser website.
It's not the only social network trying to break into the shopping game. Rivals Twitter and Pinterest have launched also e-commerce platforms of their own
and Facebook-owned Instagram is also pushing its own version of"buy"buttons t

Email marketing has grown more sophisticated over the years, and the space is crowded with companies like Mailchimp, Marketo,
They might bounce out to an email tool to craft a campaign and send it to a list of emails gathered via paper,
or by hand using clerks at the counter. A retail store I worked at used to gather them by requiring an email with every transaction
but that requirement can slow down transactions, and is really only practical if a user terminal was involved in the flow.
And half the time you end up with fake emails and unverifiable information. Square data is already easier to gather
the Square flow asks them for an email for a receipt and because youe talking about money here people are more likely to give accurate info.
All of that leads to a Square business having a core list of emails for customers that is ready to act on.
Already youe far ahead of a dumb list of emails, which contain no such contextual data.
You can also add your own lists of emails gathered via conventional means. You can choose groups based on trends that youe seeing
show you delivery data as well as eadnotifications for your emails. But Square takes the next step here by allowing you to actually see
if those customers take action on your email with a visit and a purchase. It hard to overstate the importance of being able to directly track the return on your investment in this email marketing by equating it with dollars spent in your establishment.
Unless youe been in small business retail or sales and have tried to craft a marketing campaign
The emails are affordable, if a bit pricier than similar levels in services like Mailchimp. You can pay $0. 10 per email on an s you gobasis or $15/mo for unlimited emails to 500 customers.

It lets them cut down on the number of moving parts they have to keep track of to make their email marketing effective.
