Live Commerce: The Trade Marketing Revolution for Brands & Retailers

Live shopping, a trend born in China and now exploding globally, has become an essential tool for French retailers. Faced with the restrictions of recent years, brands and distributors can no longer rely solely on traditional in-store marketing strategies. It's time to go digital. Here's how live shopping is transforming the commercial landscape.

Field Marketing Goes Digital

With 89% of consumers researching and comparing products before making a purchase, standing out has never been more critical. "Retail entertainment" is the key. Whether it's product giveaway contests, sponsored social media posts, or gamification to create a more engaging customer journey, every action contributes to boosting online sales by offering unique shopping experiences.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Commercial Engagement

The health crisis upended traditional retail. In-store activations — once a cornerstone of marketing — came to a halt. Faced with the surge in online shopping, brands had to reinvent their commercial engagement strategies. Live shopping emerged as a solution, making product interaction and trial possible despite physical distance.

Live Shopping: The Digital Commercial Engagement Solution

Live shopping offers an interactive and enjoyable experience. Live sales allow brands to showcase themselves and create a moment around one or more products. Beyond online retailers, live shopping also delivers real benefits for businesses with physical points of sale.

How Live Shopping Can Transform Your Brand

Imagine being able to maintain your connection with customers when in-person sales aren't possible, strengthen your brand presence, attract a larger pool of prospects, and increase your sales. That's exactly what live shopping can deliver.
