What are their motivators for live shopping?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Ninja Van\u2019s first white paper on <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3XNZ8QF\" class=\"ek-link\">Live Selling in Southeast Asia<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/chrome-extension:\/\/efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj\/https:\/\/www.ninjavan.co\/files\/en-ph\/live-selling-in-southeast-asia.pdf\" class=\"ek-link\">,<\/a> what motivates live shoppers are the format\u2019s <strong>Interactivity and Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interactivity allows live shoppers to be seen, not just by the live seller but by fellow shoppers, too. The ability to be an active participant with a part to play in choreographing the live selling session <strong><em>empowers the live shoppers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Live sellers give shoppers indirect but real-time access to the products. This live display, often steered by the live shoppers\u2019 requests for various angles and usages, makes the product come alive, thereby <strong><em>making it easier to be deemed trustworthy.<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the benefits of live shopping to your customers?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ninjavan.co\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/What-are-the-benefits-of-live-shopping.jpg\" alt=\"What are the benefits of live shopping\" class=\"wp-image-8669\" style=\"width:543px;height:362px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>It&#8217;s not just your online business that benefits from live selling; <\/em><br><em>your shoppers gain a lot from it, too!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Live selling fast-tracks the shoppers\u2019 purchase journeys from awareness to conversion. To further expound on that, here are some benefits of live selling to your customers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shoppers buy from real people<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media or TikTok posts, no matter how engaging they are, can\u2019t replace real customer relationships. Shoppers still look for human interaction; that\u2019s why chatbots have become crucial in online selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing a real person describe and sell an item before them (albeit virtually) gives lives hoppers that confidence that they\u2019re transacting with legit sellers. Especially when there are so many scammers on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Speaking of scams, here are helpful <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ninjavan.co\/en-ph\/how-to-avoid-cod-scams\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Steps to Avoid COD Scams<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Live selling combines physical and online shopping&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Live shoppers experience a blend of online and retail shopping when they participate in a live selling session. They see the items \u2014 what they look like, their color and even their condition. At the same time, the seller provides more description about an item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they\u2019re satisfied, all live shoppers have to do is type <em>\u2018Mine!\u2019 <\/em>and they can purchase the item immediately. Everything happens in the comfort of their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Live selling brings the fun back to online shopping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s admit it, live shopping is fun! Even if you don\u2019t buy from the sessions, watching the animated way sellers peddle their items and how other shoppers interact with them makes it fun and refreshing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Live selling combines shopping with entertainment.
