Incorporating social media and interactive features into B2C e-commerce platforms facilitates smooth social commerce experiences, encourages viral marketing, and harnesses user-generated content, thus enhancing brand awareness, engagement, and conversion rates. This approach also aids in community building and positions the brand prominently within the digital ecosystem.
