What is
live shopping?
Live shopping is relatively new to the UK markets, but have been in use for years around the world, particularly in Asia. Brands implement a shoppable element to their live events, or create live events especially for shoppable elements, to entice viewers to purchase in real time and enhance engagement with a brand during an event.

brand website integration
There are a wide range of new platforms available for integration on existing ecommerce sites. The biggest issue is attracting a significant audience to any site based live. Brands with a significant daily userbase on site are more likely to use such solutions as they have a suitable ambient audience. Some platforms have aggregation apps which bring the lives from different brands together on one platform. This has the advantage of attracting potential new purchasers but may cause clashes with other brands.
