Humans are social creatures, and in today’s world, we find ourselves seeking connection and inclusion via social media and messenger services (Dark Social). However, when we shop online, we have lost touch with this social connectivity considering online shopping is basically an isolated experience where someone, usually alone, scrolls through product pages on their device.

Shopping used to be social, when groups of friends would go to a mall together, and we should use the incredible social and technological innovation of our time to transform online shopping into a more social and inclusive experience.
