Monetizing Social Media

Study Finds US Consumers Look a Lot But Buy Little on Social Media New data from a PYMNTS/AWS study, “Tracking the Digital Payments Takeover: Monetizing Social Media Edition,” finds that although social media channels drive a lot of eyeballs, very few of those eyeballs buy what they see when they scroll their feeds. Checkout friction plays a role, but so does something else, this study finds.
