What is Live Shopping?<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

l live shopping is an online shopping experience that occurs during a live streaming broadcast.<\/strong> During these live streams, a host-often<\/strong> an influencer or brand representative-displays products<\/strong>, answers viewers’ questions, and guides them in making a choice. Consumers can interact in real time<\/strong>, ask questions, and complete the purchase without leaving the live broadcast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the combination of real-time video and direct interaction, this mode of shopping stands out for its ability to create a trusting relationship between brand and customer<\/strong>, making online shopping much more like a physical experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why is Live Shopping important for eCommerce?<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Live shopping not only makes theshopping experience more engaging<\/strong>, but also encourages faster<\/strong> purchase decisions. According to McKinsey<\/strong><\/a>, live shopping can increase conversion up to ten times<\/strong> over traditional eCommerce methods. The reasons are simple: direct interaction inspires trust, allows users to view the product in detail, and provides immediate context that addresses users’ concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, with live shopping, a sense of urgency<\/strong> is created, incentivizing consumers to act quickly to take advantage of limited offers and promotions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

New platforms<\/strong><\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Digital platforms are investing in tools to support live shopping. Instagram <\/a>and TikTok<\/a><\/strong>, for example, already offer integrated options for live shopping, while Shopify<\/a> <\/strong>e Amazon <\/a><\/strong>are introducing similar features to help merchants reach consumers more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These platforms provide immediate access<\/strong> to a wide audience<\/strong>, giving users the opportunity to discover new products naturally and spontaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Role of PIM <\/strong><\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For companies that focus on live shopping, having a system of Product Information Management (PIM)<\/strong><\/a> well-structured is essential. A PIM, such as the one offered by Pimcore<\/a>, allows all product information to be managed centrally, ensuring that every detail is accurate and always up-to-date during live broadcasts<\/strong>. This helps avoid errors or misalignments between what is shown during the live broadcast and the product information available online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a PIM, Tidycode supports brands in optimizing product data management, ensuring that each live shopping session accurately reflects the brand’s offering and identity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
