Livestream shopping struggles to take form
Despite livestream shopping events skyrocketing in popularity in China and many companies in the US dedicating resources to virtual events, consumers in the US struggle to see the value.
A recent report by Morning Consult found that Nearly 80% of US adults have never participated in a live shopping event, and less than a third of U.S. adults have seen, heard of, or read about live shopping events overall.
Among the reasons why, 35% of respondents said they were concerned about product quality, seller integrity, and shipping concerns, and 54% of respondents said they were not comfortable shopping through social media platforms.
