Cybasumo.com Launches E-Commerce Solution Created Specifically for Artists on Social Networks
CybaSumo (http://www.cybasumo.com)
is an ecommerce solution for independent artists and other creative
types who use social networks. They can create their own storefronts
quickly, easily, and affordably. Sellers can also take their stores
with them to where their friends and fans are: social networks. Using
the rich CybaSumo portable store widget, they can embed it into their
MySpace, Facebook, or other social networking profiles, as well as
their blogs and Web sites.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) -- CybaSumo.com today officially launched the first
ecommerce solution for artists and other creators on social networks.
Makers of photography, video, music, digital art, eBooks, and fashion
can easily market and sell a wide variety products right on Facebook,
MySpace, WordPress blogs and any HTML website.
Founded by Web entrepreneurs Dag Gogue and Francis Davidson,
CybaSumo gives sellers a storefront and a portable widget they can take
with them to their social networks so they can earn money from various
types of creative and artistic products.
"CybaSumo gives social networkers a powerful new way to translate
their online reputations and Internet contacts into a viable business
model," said Dag Gogue, co-founder of CybaSumo. "We are creating a new
marketplace for a new generation of artists and other creators -- a
generation fed up with the hassles and fees of sites such as eBay that
don't address their unique needs."
At www.cybasumo.com,
sellers can sign up for their own personalized storefront. Anyone
visiting CybaSumo.com can browse the hundreds of stores in different
categories. CybaSumo takes the concept one step further with the
'portable store' -- a Flash widget sellers can embed into their social
network pages. The seller's contacts can then click on the widget and
have immediate access to the owner's unique storefront without leaving
the social networking site.
"CybaSumo is suited for digital and tangible creations," said
Francis Davidson, CybaSumo's other co-founder. "Purchasers can download
digital goods right away, or order tangible items for shipping. Sellers
can list fashion items, and more goods are coming, such as t-shirts,
caps, mugs. The possibilities are endless."
Browsing, previews, and the shopping cart are handled within the
widget, so the prospective shopper does not need to leave the widget
until it's time to check out. CybaSumo has been designed to be very
easy to use and customize, unlike other complicated store management
and catalog systems. The site handles everything from catalog
management, previews, software updates, billing, to digital order
fulfillment -- leaving sellers to focus on creating new works.
"Social networks are one of the most powerful tools on the Internet,
and creative individuals need tools to leverage social networks'
massive influence," Davidson said. "It can be hard to stand out, but
we're here to help make business sense of it all in a profitable way -
for sellers and for us."
