Late nights of nothing but sellers who entice you to buy exercise equipment, kitchenware sets, and vegetable slicers made for ninjas were the rage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After some time, the trend sort of died down. Then the pandemic revolutionized how Filipinos shop,&nbsp; and along with it was the birth of online live selling in the Philippines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve e-commerce growth, businesses must step up their marketing strategy. Many sellers did this by showcasing their products and services through livestreams broadcast via social media, like Facebook and TikTok.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Live selling became popular because <strong>customers can buy products in real-time<\/strong>, and at the same time see the actual items they\u2019re getting as opposed to just relying on photos posted on the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re new to online selling and are interested in adding live selling to your marketing tool box, here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Also read: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ninjavan.co\/en-ph\/edmark-live-mall\/\"><em>This Giant Retailer Pioneered Live Selling in the Philippines<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Live selling vs. traditional online selling in the Philippines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional online selling is more static compared to live selling.

You can share these posts on social media or upload them on popular online selling platforms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ninjavan.co\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/online-selling-in-the-philippines.jpg\" alt=\"Online Selling In The Philippines\" class=\"wp-image-13745\" style=\"width:544px;height:357px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Live selling offers a more dynamic and engaging approach to online selling.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, live selling is a <strong>more dynamic approach to online selling<\/strong>.

But it\u2019s now become a tool that significantly enhances the customers\u2019 online shopping experience, which is a great boost for the online market in the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the following effects of live selling on businesses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accelerated conversion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Live online selling is an immersive and entertaining experience that keeps customers watching longer. It also impacts your customer\u2019s buying journey \u2013 from the time they learn about the product up to making a purchase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These time-limited tactics <strong>create a sense of urgency<\/strong>, which lead to higher conversion rates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improved brand appeal and differentiation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Successful ecommerce livestreams increase a brand\u2019s appeal, as well as its distinctiveness. As a result, online businesses benefit from more web traffic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, they also strengthen their pull among current customers while attracting new ones. The latter often includes people who purchase from innovative shopping formats, such as live selling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ninjavan.co\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/live-selling-in-the-philippines.jpg\" alt=\"Live Selling In The Philippines\" class=\"wp-image-13752\" style=\"width:424px;height:424px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ninjavan.co\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/live-selling-in-the-philippines.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.ninjavan.co\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/live-selling-in-the-philippines-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Live selling creates a sense of urgency as customers have <br>limited time to &#8216;mine&#8217; the products they like.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easier digital marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Live selling makes it easier for businesses to penetrate social media, <em>aka <\/em>the platform where most of their customers are.
