How can you use Live Shopping Instagram?
Take advantage of intimacy, interactivity and authenticity
to make Live Shopping something special.
1. Reveal a new product or collection
If you have a new product or collection, host an event by
sharing the details on the live stream. You'll be able to answer your
fans' questions and give the launch a personal touch while making your product
available for the first time.
Instagram has product launch reminders to help build
anticipation and set alarms for people to tune in.
2. Present a product tutorial
Demonstrating how your product works in real-time is a great
opportunity for fans to understand what you are selling or to be inspired to
make a purchase. You also give them the opportunity to request comments or
answer questions while showing what your product does best.
3. Spontaneous transmissions
Instagram Live is real and authentic, surprise your fans
with flash sales and surprise demos. They are an opportunity to reward
your fans who pay attention.
4. Collaborate with other brands
A live broadcast is an opportunity to cross-promote with
other brands or influencers. You can have a special guest organize a live
shopping event with a selected collection of your products or offer a special
rate to fans of another brand.
5. Question and answer session
A question and answer session on a live stream is one way to
help undecided buyers. Because live streaming is an intimate and informal
setting, it will build trust with your viewers.
Conclusion
Instagram live shopping is a great opportunity for brands,
but remember to balance product-driven and content-driven live
streams. Take the opportunity to do live broadcasts of products, in
special moments and so your viewers continue to feel curious and enthusiastic
when it comes to connecting in live broadcasts, since constantly selling can
burn your audience.
