Do Manufacturers need a social commerce network for doing business?
Miami-based Pinblu (http://pinblu.com) thinks so and launched (earlier today) the first "secure Social Commerce marketplace" with an advanced review & rating system.
"The U.S. is the No.2 manufacturer and still has no Social Commerce marketplace for manufacturers to do business", said Gino Pacini V., the CEO/Founder of Pinblu.
"We need to take the social networking concept to the next level. When you integrate the purchasing of products and services via a social networking platform, the opportunities that lay ahead for Pinblu are endless", Mr. Pacini said.
He cites the success of Alibaba, the China-based networking site for manufacturers. But, unlike Alibaba "wanna be" startups (Tradesparq, Diytrade, HD Trades, Globalsources, Tradekey) that have emerged during the past couple years, Pinblu is charting a global mission.
"Our geographic focus is the world, not just China," Mr. Pacini said. "And our business focus is both B2B and B2C".
Pinblu is targeting the SMB market, since many small and medium sized manufacturers lack an online sales platform.
Pinblu will initially cover several key industries: electronics, jewelry and apparel.
Pinblu's "advanced search" engine enables you to search metadata on products/services by category + subcategory, then seamlessly "track/message/connect" the manufacturers of specific products found in the search process.
BRUNI PR will be pitching the Pinblu story to our media contacts....
