Don’t miss any Experts’ take!

💣 Fear of not technical-ready

“Our brand doesn’t have a live product team” is perhaps the biggest fear in businesses considering Live Shopping. When it comes to your pilot series, a huge scale of production likely is not necessary.

💣 Fear of “What if something goes wrong?”

With 5+ years of experience in the Live Streaming field, Marco spilt “There are many things you can control. The rest? No.”. The obvious question: What is the list of things you have under your control?  – Everything technical.

It’s critical to encounter the unexpected and build the control memories before the real events. Tests, rehearsals or dry runs are strongly recommended by Marco.

Consider the option of getting an experienced partner. There are enough things for brands to focus on when creating a pilot series. Working with a live producer can fill the knowledge gaps and free time for the most important step of all – our next fear. 

💣 Fear of under-performing event

In order to determine if Live Shopping suits your brand, coming up with your own KPI is often overlooked or underrated.

Community feedback is the most powerful tool. Develop a method to collect feedback on your content, format and host type. Then, use that feedback to iterate on your Live Shopping show until your brand finds the right formula or conclusion.
