Social purchasing network

Social purchasing network

A social purchasing network is a closed-loop network of buyers and sellers that are linked together based on their respective economic and social interests. At the core to this concept, is the ability to not only link buyers and sellers together at the critical point in an economic transaction, but to link buyers and sellers together based on shared social values, beliefs and interests. Social purchasing networks are able to link buyers and sellers together who share values of faith, politics, charitable causes, and institutional affinities.
