The days of learning HTML and rearranging your top friends list on MySpace are long gone, and so are the simpler days of social media. The shift from social to e-commerce on many platforms has been met with some pushback, but users and social media marketers are starting to adapt.
In this piece, we’ll discuss how to effectively manage Livestream storefronts to boost sales and social interaction.
Someone can make a purchase through a live broadcast at a Livestream store. They may interact with the streamer in real time, asking questions or making requests without ever having to leave the video they’re watching.
Previously a nascent phenomenon, livestream shopping has recently experienced meteoric growth. Livestream sales in China are expected to reach $132 billion in 2021 and $281 billion in 2023, accounting for 60% of the country’s social commerce.
Some social media sites do support Livestream storefronts for companies, however this is not the case for all sites just yet. Thus, we’re thinking about both the social media marketers who are already capitalizing on this tactic, and the live streamers who are planning to use it elsewhere.
Your first step should be to determine who you’re writing for. This is a synthesis of the metrics used by your sales and marketing departments. Take a look at topics like user personas and your ideal customer profiles (ICPs) to get you started. In addition, social media analytics might prove quite helpful.
If you’re in the software as a service industry, you should go deeper and focus on the customer’s job-to-be-done. In what ways does your product improve upon the lives of your target market? This goes beyond simple demographics and firmographics to provide you with additional context for your Livestream product presentation.
Marketers using social media, like yourself, need to take into account the global distribution of their target audience. Time zones, languages, surroundings, cultural conventions, and even available social media outlets must all be taken into account when designing an effective communication strategy. TikTok, a video sharing app, is illegal in India, yet 75% of the country’s high earners are active on Facebook.
To make sure your live stream is successful, it’s important to first determine where your audience is. Knowing your target demographic and the best places to promote your content means you can get in front of more interested parties.
You would assume this is the simple part, but in reality, there are several factors to think about. In the beginning, there is practicality. Please specify which channels you have access to so that we may inquire about setting up a Livestream shop on those channels. Among the many available social media platforms, some to consider are:
You should think about the channels worth marketing your Livestream on if you decide to move everything to your website domain and employ a Livestream service.
Is your Facebook click-through rate significantly greater than your Twitter one? If this is the case, you may want to give Facebook a bit more of your attention.
This is working out great so far. Your audience for the live broadcast is something you’re already familiar with, so you know how to talk to them. You are aware of both their location and the channel on which you are broadcasting the show. Finally, you’ve decided on the channels where the stream will be promoted.
You must then decide who will provide the presentation and which goods will be featured. If you only have a few products to choose from, this will be an easy process. But if you have a wide variety of stock and products, you’ll need to conduct some planning.
Following the selection of the goods to be shown in the Livestream, the next step is to select a presenter. Here is where your social media expertise should really show, since here is where your Livestream will have the most chance of being a hit. Who can best market your live broadcast and offer your products? Try to broaden your scope beyond those you work with.
Following that, you should start advertising your Livestream. Use your imagination when it comes to social media marketing and come up with unique strategies to spread the word. Let’s go further than just a Facebook event and a few Instagram stories.
Get people to set Instagram reminders, make videos with the influencer that serve as teasers for the live broadcast, and solicit questions in advance so that you may address them in the midst of the action.
Having read this, you are in the greatest possible position to run a profitable Livestream Store. After all of your hard work, it’s imperative that everything go off without a hitch at the event. Make sure the sound, lighting, and connectivity are all in tip-top shape by holding many dry runs in advance.
Having a facilitator in addition to the host may make a Livestream much more successful. Someone who can interact with the audience, solicit questions, respond to those that don’t need reading aloud, and otherwise back up the presenter in any situation that may arise.
Sharing a few fragments (screenshots, video clips, or pre-made boomerangs) of the Livestream while it’s occurring is an excellent idea. This will reach more people and assist those who joined in later.
This stage is highly dependant on the infrastructure upon which your Livestream Store is built. Using social media to learn more about your audience is a great strategy.
Imagine, for the sake of argument, that your live stream attracted just a tiny but devoted audience. If so, it might be beneficial to start following them on social media and provide further information subsequently.
