Jones Apparel Group recently tested the waters with the debut of a pop-up Rachel Roy store on Facebook that featured a limited-edition, limited-quantity jewelry collection. In the first 24 hours the store was open, the brand averaged 1.5 new Facebook fans per minute, the event returned a total fan base increase of 35 percent – and the jewelry sold out in six hours. The application used by Jones Apparel, Fan Shop, was developed by San Francisco-based Fluid. Fusing brand, commerce and community, Fan Shop is the Facebook shopping component of social shopping platform Fluid Social.
