How to Grow Sales and Cultivate Community with Live Shopping

PlantStory, an eCommerce marketplace for plant lovers, increased sales by 70% after implementing live shopping experiences. This approach provides a more engaging and social shopping experience compared to traditional static sites. Live shopping allows sellers to educate and entertain viewers on new products and special offers while fostering community growth through real-time conversations between shoppers and sellers. Benefits of live shopping for brands include increased video engagement, trust building, upselling opportunities, and improved sales conversion rates. Challenges faced by relying on social media platforms for live commerce can be mitigated by integrating live shopping features into a brand's own app or website.
