Livestream shopping AKA “live video shopping” or “live commerce” is a new sales channel used by brands and retailers to promote and sell products through digital Livestream events, often collaborating with influencers, celebrities, or experts. Originating in China back in 2016, livestream shopping is gaining traction fast in US and Western markets. A dynamic fusion of digital retail and entertainment, livestream shopping allows you to deliver truly immersive and interactive shopping events, so that brands and retailers like you can reach and connect better with elusive, tech-savvy Gen Z and millennial audiences. The result? Better brand awareness, better product discovery, and of course, better sales of more products. Through these live-hosted online shopping events, your customers engage with a host typically an influencer, celebrity, or industry expert. Customers can also ask the host direct questions, get personalized product recommendations, and instantly purchase products from your website.

3. Shoppers sign up: When a customer taps on the link, they’re directed to a quick registration page to sign up for the event. Once they’re registered, your customers will receive automated reminders via email and SMS to join the event. 
4. Go LIVE 
5. After the event: Gain valuable insights and access data visualizations to help you fine-tune your future events and repurpose the content as needed.

There’s no app to download or social media network to go to – all your customers need to do is simply tap the link and they’re automatically redirected to the event, native on your website.

For event hosts and influencers, hosting a Live shopping event with buywith is super smooth. Before your event, we’ll train the hosts on best practices and your products, and walk them through the buywith platform so they’ll know exactly what they need to do (which is pretty much clicking a link to start hosting – just like joining a video call). On the day of the event, we’ll be by their side with ongoing support to make sure everything runs smoothly. And that’s all there is to it.
Need help finding influencers and creators with audiences in the right demographics for your brand?
