Connector Events trials OWJO social commerce store

OWJO is an e-commerce service, a portable online store enabling people sell on any platform, such as Facebook, or any other website.

It has been in development by designer David Johnston since 2006, with €1.5m invested into the company. The unique thing about OWJO is that it allows customers to buy on Facebook without redirecting them away from fanpages and websites during the sale. Also OWJO allows people to pay with  debit card (Laser) as well as with credit card (Visa, Mastercard, etc). The service only earns money when sales are made and it has a competitive sales commission of 7pc.

As a result, OWJO has received a large variety of adopters. Irish sports store Elverys use it to sell on social networks. The radio station Phantom FM uses it too. The service was also used to sell unseen Thin Lizzy artwork from the creator’s Facebook account.

Here is an example of our OWJO store installed into our WordPress website to promote a Connector event. The same platform was also used on our Facebook page.

Here is the link for our OWJO shop on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/conne​ctor.tv?sk=app_112224982135009

Even the birds follow Social Media

Even the birds are tech savvy these days. During the Digital & Social Media Strategy Workshop with Conor Lynch at SocialMedia.ie, when everyone was busy understanding the intricacies of Social Media, some birds also came on the rooftop and started to make noises. As one of the participants aptly put it,  the birds are also into tweeting. I must admit that the participants are giving tough competition to Conor in terms of sense of humour.
