China has been globally successful and a pioneer in this regard. Live streaming has reached a mature and steady phase on <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.jd.com\/home\">JD<\/a> (\u4eac\u6771) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taobao.com\/\">Taobao<\/a>. Even some American companies and MBA business clients have used <a href=\"https:\/\/berniewong.net\/zh-hk\/buck-the-trend-increase-sales-through-an-online-pop-up-store\/\">online shopping<\/a> in China as a basis for research. It guides the direction of business transformation. Hong Kong has an innate advantage in applying and referencing some of China\u2019s successful online business models. Yet, while advocating for retail, live streaming can secure large profits. Hong Kong entrepreneurs should also be aware that by underpinning the big volume of sales, goods may have to be sold at a discounted price. Thus, it should be termed as &#8220;live streaming distribution.&#8221; If you run a physical retail store, does your brand want to project the image of having \u201cspecial opening bargains\u201d all the time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_that_Livestreams_Should_Be_Complemented_with_Other_Initiatives\"><\/span><strong>Consider that Livestreams Should Be Complemented with Other Initiatives<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we are not against the method of <a href=\"https:\/\/social-stand.com\/youtube-tests-live-stream-shopping\/\">live stream<\/a> marketing, it seems that the approach of hard-selling has become less effective than before, even if there are success stories in Hong Kong, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hktvmall.com\/\">HKTV Mall<\/a>. Some clients have given feedback that hosting live streams no longer achieves the desired results. Have a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macys.com\/\">Macy\u2019s<\/a>, an established department store overseas. It is adding live streaming to its app. Although it seems to come as an afterthought, it still has its merits. Customers can directly communicate with the host and ask questions. They can also click to buy products directly during the live broadcast. The most important hosts tend to be Macy\u2019s beauty consultants. Their recommendations are more convincing than seasoned consultants. They are even better than trying new products being promoted by salesgirls whom you may not be familiar with. Live streaming is an effective approach that can be used to sell clothing, cosmetics, and skincare products. Previously, we planned a live show for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marksandspencer.com\/hk\/\">Marks &amp; Spencer<\/a>, where we invited a wine tasting consultant as part of a food pairing show. The results were impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Real_Users_that_Create_Real_Content_that_Viewers_Value\"><\/span><strong>Real Users that Create Real Content that Viewers Value<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recently interviewed more than 20 senior marketing consultants, many of whom are seasoned in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/doubleuvideo.com\/video-action-campaigns-on-youtube-ctv\/\">video marketing<\/a>. They expressed a unanimous view that to do video marketing well, be it through a live stream,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/social-stand.com\/youtube-enables-shorts-testing-to-all-regions\/\">short clip<\/a>, or film, being &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/berniewong.net\/zh-hk\/taking-a-more-humanistic-approach-in-your-ecommerce-store-and-marketing\/\">real enough<\/a>&#8221; was one of the key elements. The same goes for engaging real users or children to offer genuine reviews and comments when unboxing toys. This explains why the parents and children featured in the YouTube Channel, Ryan Toys Review, are well-received.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@khaby.lame?lang=en\">Khaby Lame<\/a>, a Senegalese man with a deadpan expression, does not say a word in his TikTok videos. In every clip, he puts his hands out with palms up in silent mockery of people who are smart alecks. It expresses what everyone is thinking, and he has grown in popularity as a result. With increasingly smart viewers and consumers as their audience, brands should remove things that are overhyped and fake during live streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Original Source<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visiongo.hsbc.com.hk\/zh-HK\/article\/falling-in-love-with-livestreaming\">https:\/\/www.visiongo.hsbc.com.hk\/zh-HK\/article\/falling-in-love-with-livestreaming<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, a seasoned Hong Kong entrepreneur keen to develop a cross-border eCommerce business in the Greater Bay Area consulted us.
