Customer loyalty is not just a marketing strategy, it's an investment. Studies prove it: attracting a new customer can cost up to five times more than retaining an existing one. What's more, loyal customers are more likely to become ambassadors for your brand, recommending it to friends and family. So how can Live Shopping be used to improve customer loyalty? And how can you integrate it into your digital strategy? Here's how.

Live Shopping is not just a sales channel, it's an interactive experience that creates a strong bond between a brand and its customers. This immersive experience gives customers privileged access to the brand and its products, making them feel like a privileged guest rather than a mere consumer.

The event was live-streamed on several platforms, including Instagram, Tiktok and Etam's e-shop, allowing a wider audience to discover the brand's new creations in real time. But Live Shopping enabled Etam to go beyond simply broadcasting a fashion show. Viewers had the opportunity to interact live with the brand, ask questions, share their impressions and, above all, buy their favorite pieces immediately from the Live. This approach not only offered customers a unique online shopping experience, but also helped create a stronger bond between them and the brand at a branded event.
