Social commerce is the fastest-growing sales strategy. Both shop owners & brands alike are enjoying the benefits of these virtual events. It’s a great way to diversify your revenue while broadly testing a brand with your audience. It’s a Win-Win!
For those of you who are familiar with Live Selling & ready to get started, we are, too! Use the button below to Book Your Live Takeover OR keep reading to learn more.
What is Live Selling?
To put it simply, Live Selling is like QVC or the Home Shopping Network. It's a live broadcast that is streamed across the web, mobile apps and social platforms like Facebook, Instagram & TikTok.
The host, which could be you, showcases products one-by-one to your audience, highlighting features & lifestyle uses for the item while “socializing” with your viewers. This creates an engaging, personal shopping experience for your viewers. In addition to conversing with you via comments, viewers will also comment that they’d like to purchase the item you’re showcasing. When they do, Congratulations! Now you have an order, how do you collect payment?
How Does Invoicing Work?
The goal is to keep your viewers watching. Letting them order in the comments is the best way to capture sales while keeping them engaged with your Live event. Extracting those orders manually from a long list of comments is doable but can be tedious. For a more streamlined invoicing process, providers like CommentSold offer a great alternative.
CommentSold is a 3rd party application to which you subscribe. Their app allows viewers to comment on your live event using the specific word, e.g. SOLD, to trigger a behind-the-scenes billing flow. I’m not affiliated with CommentSold, but they are a leader in the social commerce space. To read more about how CommentSold works, click here.
4 Reasons Live Selling is Right for You
Your customers connect with you! During a Live Event, they feel like they are in your shop (or maybe your kitchen) with you. You create a personal shopping experience. They can make comments & ask questions just like they would if having a conversation with you.
It’s the ideal way to introduce a collection and gauge your customer’s interest before investing in inventory.

Many brands, including ours, offer open stock so you can place an order based on what was ordered during your event.
Pro Tip: when placing your bulk order post-event, order a few extras of the most popular items. You can fold them into future lives as a “Best Seller that you loved” with limited quantities available to encourage the call-to-action (CTA.)

As the host, it's your show. You can share all the stories, lifestyle uses, benefits & promotions that you wish. Share as much or as little as you like.
Show & Share. You share behind-the-scenes insights & your sales volume will show it.
Going live is A LOT of fun for you & your audience, but it can also be very exhausting & time-consuming on your part. If only someone could give you a break every now & again. Now someone can! It's called a Live Takeover. Read on to learn more about Takeovers.
What is a Live Takeover?
You're doing so much, let us take the wheel!
Going Live is a lot of fun, but everyone needs a break,including you! A Live Takeover means another person steps in to be the host of your live event. That host will log in remotely with the credentials you provide to broadcast the event. They are literally "taking over" the live event for you. Having another host take over not only gives you a well-deserved break but having a new twist to your live events may reengage some viewers, too.
Choose a Host who will make YOU shine
Your audience loves YOU. After all, you're the face of your business. Giving the stage to another person can feel like you're handing over your baby. You're placing a lot of trust in someone else to fill your shoes.
If you need a break from hosting, who better to tell the stories, lifestyle applications & inspiration behind a product than the creator of that brand. When you book with us, founder & She.E.O Denise Albright herself will host your event & deliver a great show. Denise will share lots of tips, hacks & humor to delight your audience and turn them into buyers!
