Co-Commerce is a framework that integrates e-commerce, direct selling, and social commerce, within a community framework, which is perhaps enhanced by the agility of e-commerce, and where individuals earn through the direct or social selling of products that they personally use, with zero upfront costs. Asort developed this model and inaugurated it in 2011 in India.
The Need For A Third Commerce Model
By 2011, when Asort was established, two models had come to dominate commerce in India and eclectic specifically left value invalidated. This is the most straightforward way to understand the gap that co-commerce aims to fill.
E-commerce sites were emerging rapidly, but the need for a peer recommendation did not benefit the recommender in any way. If you told ten friends to buy a product the marketplace, the marketplace reaped the revenues, while you, at best, could boast of ten purchases, but none for you, because you did that through your social capital.
Direct selling, the other of the two dominant models, did reward the building of networks, but the earning structure of direct selling also inverted the self-sustaining integrity of the model. Someone who was recruited earned more than someone who sold the product, and thus the system incentivized recruitment over self-satisfaction both of the recruits and the downline customers.
The biggest group affected by this gap were the housewives, students and small town youth of India who were eager to start their own businesses and had an affinity for building networks based on trust, but lacked the capital. Co-commerce was created to meet their needs.
The idea we started with was that social trust is an economic asset. If a person buys a product based on a recommendation, the recommendation has real purchasing power. Co-commerce helps to capture this purchasing power and return it to the person who created it.
Community Support: Social trust is an economic asset that has real value and purchasing power Co-Commerce (Asort).
The 5 Core Principles of Co-Commerce
- Zero Entry Barrier
Anyone can join Asort as a co-commerce partner with absolutely no upfront investment. There is no joining fee, no mandatory product kit purchase, and no minimum monthly order to maintain membership. KYC verification and a partner can start selling from rwverywhere they stand.
- In-House Product Quality
Many online marketplaces feature products of inconsistent quality. They usually have little or no control over these products. Asort controls every aspect of its products, from design and manufacture to quality. Our partners know that when they promote a product, the company stands behind that product, and helps to preserve the partner’s personal credibility in the network.
- Shared Growth Over Competition
Co-commerce partners have a lot of reasons to cooperate and very few to compete. Group Profit, the earnings a partner generates based on their team’s sales, creates a support system which makes every partner interested in the success of those they brought into the network.
- Skill-First Development
Asort’s Business Community offers free skill-building training, and workshops to all members starting on day one. Co-Commerce doesn’t just offer a partner the chance to earn; it also equips them with skills needed to take advantage of the opportunity and carries it on into the future.
- Public Recognition
Badge Ceremonies, Leadership Conclaves, and structured Cash Craze Campaigns have made an environment where a lot of people show their appreciation when goals are reached. Public recognition motivates and retains the participants most in a community based system. This is the reason for all of the visible celebrations.
Co-commerce channels social recommendations by providing compensation to those who recommend products. It may appear obvious to reward social recommendations, however, Asort, for the first time, pioneered a scalable business model to achieve this in India.
THE TRUST ECONOMY
The Reason Co-Commerce Works and Scales
Trust is the most basic reason behind the success of Co-Commerce. Co-Commerce scaled from a network of 0 to 10 lakh partners in just 14 years by creating a marketplace for the economic asset that each individual possesses, and that is trust. People purchase from others who they trust and have relationships with. There is a strong correlation that exists between trust and purchase conversion. Conventional ads, irrespective of the spend that goes into them, cannot achieve the same level of purchase conversion.
Co-Commerce channels and structures that daily activity and social trust, which is often unseen and captured by other e-commerce platforms, is explicitly owned and monetized by the individual partner. A Co-Commerce partner who builds a community with 200 active and trusting buyers in his/her WhatsApp account has created economic value that would otherwise be lost to a platform. With Co-Commerce, this partner is compensated for that value created.
Because the co-commerce model relies heavily on community-building and user engagement rather than foot traffic or store infrastructure, it is inherently adaptive and more resilient than traditional retail. Asort’s community-based model was particularly advantageous during the COVID-19 pandemic, when conventional businesses experienced massive disruptions. Asort sold over 700,000 units and added 500,000 partners, while most businesses were losing customers. Traditional retail models rely on a physical store presence that has traffic. While traditional retail models have a storefront, trust networks do not require traffic, making Asort more sustainable.
In co-commerce, the income generated is a result of the sale of the products and not the recruitment of people. This is the main design principle that separates co-commerce with Multi-Level Marketing, and it’s a huge distinction. This changes the beneficiaries of the model, the reason and how they benefit from the model, and helps the model stay sustainable.
