MyyShop held a panel discussion themed Unlocking the Power of Social Commerce at the Next Stage of CIE on March 15, giving visitors an opportunity to learn how social commerce is transforming the retail landscape in America. The panelists discussed how social commerce had taken Asia by storm and would shake the US and global market in the future, how MyyShop enable creators to conveniently "Share to Earn" by sharing a shoppable link on their own social accounts, for the trending products they love, with their followers and fans. They also shared the success stories of some content creators and discussed the future of social commerce in America, including how individuals like stay-at-home moms, unemployed adults, and young entrepreneurs could cash in on this retail revolution.

MyyShop panelists also shared, only in 2022, content creators made over $3.5 million from recommending their favorite DHgate products to shoppers on various social media platforms. The event's highlights included a content creator specializing in home décor who shared with the audience how she built her store and recommended chairs, tables, and vases that went viral on TikTok.

In the past two years, Myyshop has worked and built partnerships with global content creators with experience in social commerce, empowered creators through the Academy program, and hosted events to support their entrepreneurial dreams. Looking to the future, MyyShop will expand small business catalogs from local small businesses in the US to MyyShop, create a custom product line for selected partners and content creators, and allow merchants to directly access a functional creator marketplace.

"We are on a journey to guide creators through the social commerce trend that will take over the world and change the way creators work with brands, and we plan to do so with transparency, inclusivity, and heart," the panelists expressed the mission of MyyShop at Next Stage.
