Penney expects that the new channel will give it more information  about its customers, which could influence future marketing and product  choices. &#8216;All of the information that Facebook has about people can be  aggregated into analytical data,&#8217; Jason Taylor [vice president of global product strategy for Usablenet, which built the Facebook operation for J.C. Penney] said. That includes the ages of  their customers, what sorts of products they share with others, and how  often they peruse the store\u2019s offerings. &#8216;The interesting additional  information they\u2019re going to get could affect their decision-making,&#8217;  Taylor adds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On the flip side, the consumer perspective related to shopping via Facebook might present some challenges.\u00a0 Many social network users, particularly Facebook users, are concerned about the security of the private data they share.\u00a0 Facebook has been the subject of scrutiny frequently over the past couple of years for this very issue.\u00a0 There is undoubtedly a portion of Facebook users who will not be comfortable providing credit card or other financial information through the site in order to make a purchase from JCPenney or another retailer.\u00a0 That&#8217;s an issue that David Kiefaber of BrandFreak brought up in his own <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brandfreak.com\/2010\/12\/jcpenneys-complete-store-in-facebook-that-things-operational.html\">post about the new JCPenney store on Facebook<\/a>, and it&#8217;s a valid point.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of branded stores on Facebook?\u00a0 Is offering shopping via social networking sites where consumers already spend time the next logical step for retail brands or is it like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole?\u00a0 Leave a comment and share your thoughts on this marketing trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week marked the
