Introduction to Live Shopping

What is live shopping?

Live shopping is an online shopping experience that combines live video streaming with shopping. It involves real-time broadcasting where hosts showcase products, viewers can ask questions, and seamlessly make purchases directly in the live stream.

What are the benefits of live shopping?

Live shopping offers several advantages for businesses as it creates a sense of urgency and fear of missing out (FOMO) as well as enhances customer engagement and trust, leading to increased sales, faster customer growth, and stronger brand awareness and loyalty.

What products work for live shopping?

Products that benefit from demonstration, explanation, or those that evoke an emotional response work well. Beauty and skincare items, fashion apparel, electronics, home goods, and kitchen appliances are among the popular categories for live shopping, but we believe you can sell anything with live shopping.

What industries work for live shopping?

Live shopping has found success across multiple industries. Retail, fashion, beauty, electronics, hobbies, health, and pet products are some industries that have effectively utilized live shopping to engage customers and drive sales.

Does live shopping work for B2B?

Yes, live shopping also works for B2B. We see more and more B2B companies diving into the world of live shopping as it creates unique advantages for B2B companies who are looking for a more efficient and effective way to sell their products.

Getting Started with Live Shopping

How does live shopping work?

Live shopping involves live video broadcasting on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or your website, that enable real-time product showcasing and audience interaction, allowing viewers to ask questions and buy products via the comment section.

How do I get started with live shopping?

Sign up with Sprii, select your plan, and link your Facebook and e-commerce platform. Some are hosting their first event within a few hours, while others work with us to craft their optimal live shopping strategy.

Which platforms can I use for live shopping?

Sprii empowers you to host live shopping events on Facebook, Instagram, and your website all at once - a feature available only on our award-winning platform. We strongly advise taking advantage of this by hosting events across all platforms to boost your reach.

How big does my business need to be?

Live shopping works for businesses of all sizes. While having a big social media following can be advantageous, it's not a necessity to benefit from live shopping. If your business doesn't have a substantial following, don't worry - live shopping remains a viable option for you. Reach out to us, and let’s discuss the best opportunities.

Is live shopping expensive?

Live shopping is very cost-effective compared to other marketing or sales activities. The primary investment revolves around the time commitment you dedicate to it. Our pricing packages are very affordable, and they align with your output which means we’re just as interested in your success as you are.

What equipment and expertise do I need to host live shopping events?

To get started, all you need is the Sprii platform, a smartphone, and possibly a ring light - all of which are simple and easily accessible tools that enable you to host live shopping events in a snap.

Do I need an online store to host live shopping events?

No, you don’t need an online store to host live shopping events. Through the built-in “Sprii Checkout,” your customers can conveniently make purchases using payment methods like PayPal, QuickPay, Onpay, MobilePay, and more. Your customers have the option to either have the item shipped or collect the product from your physical store.

How much time does it take to create a live shopping event?

Setting up your live shopping event can be done in minutes, depending on the amount of products you’ll be selling. You can quickly select the products you want to showcase using our webshop integrations and set their specific timings so all the work is done automatically.

How do I choose the right host for my live shopping events?

Try and look for a host within your organization or an influencer who has a deep understanding of your products and brand, or use multiple hosts for a more engaging experience. The hosts should respond to viewer questions, provide valuable product information, and enhance the overall experience.

Does Sprii provide training or resources to help me get started?
