Livestreaming is a kind of e-commerce
and marketing and sales method. It combines live product demonstrations,
time-limited pricing promotions, live negotiations, and instant ordering
through online streaming services hosted either by an influencer studio, or
online store.
Livestreaming removes barriers between
brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales,
livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining
brand marketing and performance marketing. There are certain factors that will
increase the chance of success.
Brands should not use livestreaming as
a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between
brands and consumers. Specifically, brands could better demonstrate their
products in this way, tell fuller brand stories, introduce emotional and
cultural elements to their products, obtain instant feedback, conduct product
trials, improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and
performance marketing, use different livestream hosts to build a bridge for the
consumers and cultivate brand loyalty.
Of course, Livestreaming is not without
drawbacks, however. For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands parading the before-and-after
effects of health products. The restrictions are not clear yet for
internet-based livestreaming, and health products are frequently promoted by
livestreamers. We need to continue to monitor regulatory updates carefully.
As promoting products through
live-streaming has been compared to "tuning clicks into cash," some
people have made illegal profits by creating false prosperity. Through the
purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers
can falsify their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort
to win more trust and make more money. Meanwhile, live-streams have also faced
issues like the return, refund and exchange of products.
