Exactly China has the second largest stock market 2bd highest number of private companies And also private companies that have dominated the world like Tencent and alibaba
This has been happening in USA those channels on tv where they would just show product to buy and you call them and stuff if you want it Btw its not exactly the same but it’s practically the original version of this EDIT/ Just saw them say the tv stuff
People also thought podcast was just a form of radio. Seriously, lettermen even made fun of it. This is the same thing. It’s the future of shopping, but it isn’t “futuristic” in your relative sense. Also the video title never used the word “futuristic”

Yeah, there's not a lot of original ideas coming out of the area 😅 Can't even come up with 'a new way to shop' without Bloomberg simpimg for them with exaggerated titles.
Not really, it's more about people interaction with the new "celebrity" type called influencers. The idea that somehow these influencers are more genuine and trustworthy compared to a faceless corporation. And by furthering the idea that the followers are their "friends" not customers. No doubt when these practices become indistinguishable from current marketing practices, it will evolve once more.
@@antonphibes4924 I get that, but that’s really not too different to bringing in celebrities to sell products on home shopping networks. It’s more personal, more tailored, and uses new tech, but really it’s just QVC with a slap of paint
So disclaimer, I haven’t watch the full video, but 1 minute in and it feels like nostalgia. This is basically like infomercial or home shopping as we call in Asia. But instead of MCs, it’s done by influencers. But concept wise, it’s very similar
yeah its just moved from TV+telephone to Internet streaming, but for sure it will be easier for both customer and the store. UA-cam, Twitch might be also trying the possibility in their platform.
You may have a superficial understanding. This form of consumption can make the economy circulate faster, maintain economic vitality, provide a large number of jobs, reduce costs and other advantages, so that consumers can choose goods faster and more accurately. For many countries, this is certainly a progress in the field of consumption
Yes, this is just QVC on the web. And Bitcoin is just regular money except the bank ledger just happens to be on the web, and transactions are performed and secured by computers. Small changes can be revolutionary.
My mom, 67 of age bought her entire kitchen cabinet module from a livestream shopping.. I'm outside China for more than 10 yrs and I would never get it.
A lot of comments that claim it's just "TV infomercials" or "QVC" are missing the point that it's streamed live where as a potential buyer you can ask questions like how you would irl "how does this feature work?" "Can I see how this fits with..", "can you show me..." etc. And the seller can answer your question immediately & even demo it with the product to show you. All within seconds.
@@huckleberryfinn6578 Yes but the convenience aspect cannot be underestimated. You could mail a letter (decades ago) or send a text (today). They both get the message across. Principles are the same. But with tech & Internet, attention is becoming a scarce resource. Convenience & ease to shop anytime, anywhere, anyhow you like is key.
Plus, when you buy goods it is always better to see them and touch the material in person. A video feed doesn't really show the real quality of an object. I recently watched a few of these live streams on alibaba's trade show online and I ended up just requesting samples since the videos didn't do much for me.
This is very prevalent even in Southeast Asia. Even if you aren't influencers or celebrity you can also do it. Anyone can do it. A lot of product can be sold and bought through livestreaming /online live selling. Just name it and online sellers have it. My friend's mother once bought a 24k gold necklace from a middle aged livestreamer auntie while we are on a moving public transportation.
im from SEA. This is pretty normal, Small and middle size companies also live stream. They might just do it during the "golden hour" like 8pm to 10pm if they have a day job. Their job is to showcase the products.
I disagree. Max is yet to come. It will be when some chips will be plugged in our brains and advertisements will be directly sent to portion of our brain which encourages us to spend money.
You didn't mention that China's biggest celebrities also make special appearances on the top live streamers' shows and that there are also full scale galas on tv with live performances in addition to interactive shopping. If you're going to report on this phenomenon, don't just show the bare minimum.
The core difference between this and TV informercial-type programming is the interactivity. It's also pretty clear that the biggest reason this trend has appeared in China first and then SE Asia is the whole 'super-app' environment, in which most people living in cities will already be used to doing their payments/purchases via mobile app anyway. It's like if Twitch, Amazon, and Paypal (plus Uber and FB, but that's irrelevant to this specific sector) were all in one app. It's an innovation in the sense that this is the first time we've seen it done. It'll also undoubtedly be copied over once 'super-app' equivalents come into being in the West (by which I really mean the US).
@@jasonsparrow-mq7yj instagram was the closest imo, they had a shopping tab integrated and instagram live is a thing. Doesn’t seem like enough people used it (the shopping tab) though since Instagram removed it in 2022.
so you are saying we need to put control on it, like what? people can only post pictures of things they are selling online ? they can only respond to enquiries with texts? Or is it that you think business must be done in physical stores. you sound pretty fitting into the bogeyman named "communist"
That's just the highly switched on period. They'd need a whole roster of staff for everything after the show. They can't avoid doing all the other work too.
Less then a minute into the video, Home Shopping Networks have made a comeback... My mom friends have been doing these live presentation/shopping with their LuLu Lemon leggings for years... hardly the way of the future or all that disruptive. What is pretty cool is the backend of the POS system. It doesn't seem to take you away completely away from the shopping screen so you can keep shopping if you want to after the initial purchase. That's sneaky and neat.

I'm chinese and I absolutely hate live streaming and influencer marketing. It's unfortunate that the same old saying, A fool and his money are soon parted, still holds true today as ever. It's unfortunately that most people are not intelligent enough to ignore ads and know when they are being fooled.
Great video. I learned about how livestream sales works in China. I never would have guessed that it would be hard work but these people may be on the air for 6 hours or more a day. It would take a lot of energy to stay energized for 6 hours.
These successful influencers in China made a very tidy profit. Some of the very successful ones earned more than RMB 600 million in a year. Some of them even scorned at those very successful film stars and big names just because they themselves earned even more. This was revealed most recently when Viya was fined a hefty RMB 1.32 billion, double of the amount of tax evaded. Imagine her annual income!
Not just in China, also in some countries near it. Like in SEA This type of shopping has become popular during the pandemic. in The Philippines, they use codes like Alphanumeric codes per product and word "Mine" for the buyers who wants to buy it.
this is just the same as live selling you used to see on tv channels back in early 2000s. The only difference is that they get their followers to buy by manipulating the parasocial relationship.
But it's live, you can engage directly with the influencer, not one way direction like tv channels back in early 2000s. This alone is a big difference, different experience

This seems like it would be a real problem for impulse buyers and people with addictive tendencies. I think it should be regulated really well, but I know it probably won't untill it's already done some damage.
In China there are a lot of regulations now on who can appear on stream, the type of products, etc. In part because of the whole livestream shopping thing streamers tend to stay within a certain lane a lot more than in the West
The reason why it’s popular is because it’s cheap for poor people that rocket thing only happened once and most rich people still wouldn’t buy from those live streams cause when u can have better qualities of the product by paying more, most of the rich would choose to pay more in real stores So your theory won’t be the case people simply buy things on those live streams because they want to save money by having all those discounts those streamers offered
@@toms2298 cheap addiction is still addiction and buying a lot of small or cheap things you don't actually need still is a problem. Especially with people who already struggle with this, it's a real problem. Also people racking up credit card debt because of it.

Comparing to making extremely expensive ads for broadcast, I think this is more efficient and natural. We find it weird because we're so used to the deliberatively engineered and overpriced ads filled in all aspects of our daily life.
I won't be surprised if Instagram launches a similar feature in its app. It would drastically increase its user retension and engagement, which will increase the sales of small-time entrepreneurs.
Thanks for commenting. I will advise to look into making successful investment in Bitcoin and crypto currency exchange and stock market exchange with the aid of my trusted aid on whatsapp and make huge profits
Its more fun and also create more Fun Interactive Marketing Tactics these Influencers can use to brinh revenue for their or others company. An Entertaining way of Marketing and Selling a Product.
Its very easy to differentiate Capitalism and Socialism. In capitalism, Big business dominates over the government (like in the US or UK.) While its the opposite in a socialist country.(China or Singapore)
so just focus on the product then -.- the function creates the bridge between you and the seller, not you and this Viya or lee from china. 😂 ask them to introduce the product like how you do in stores
I live in China and can confirm TaoBao is the future of shopping it's like scrolling on social media and you just buy things and 1 or 2 days later it's here
well...the china live streaming shopping industries are all dead this year, two most popular influencers were silicene because of government policies, and none know where they are going so I wonder why some people called live streaming shopping is future of e-commerce, or people easy to trust the fake big data of e-commerce?

This type of shopping is popular in eastern Europe as well.
🔵Is there livestreaming in Spain or in Europe? 🔵What is livestreaming constantly associated with in Spain and Europe? 🔵Do you think this concept will take off in Spain? Why or why not? 🔵What are your thoughts on livestream shopping? 🔵Would you buy items from livestreaming? Why or why not? 🔴According to the video, what is the appeal of livestream shopping? (2-way communication, social proof, entertainment value, discounts - thanks to the huge bargaining power of influencers) 🔵Promotion strategies: time-limited discounts, scarcity Others: discounts, after-sales service, gets you "emotionally involved" Maria: you can see the product being used (+ thrill of unboxing),
fast forward to 2024, we are still get "its shocking to see these chinese companies gaining popularity" headlines. Its mind boggling. like it isnt rocket science, just people wanted to see the product, and some other people showcase their product to the buyers.
I don’t see any difference between these live show shopping and the tv commercial scams from the old times. cheap price comes with cheap made products period
I just love how that chinese woman talks about how hard it is to be concentrated on your job for 5 to 6 hours everyday. Obviously very privileged and never had to do 12+ hour shifts of manual labor. I'd even argue that my study is more intense on a daily basis than her enterprise.
China rise already happen. They are now everywhere in everything. Economics, space, education, arquitecture, media, brand, commerce, entertainment, product, news, etc... and... they are not stoping anytime soon. I've been learning chinese for 4 months now. They are gonna be a enourmous player in the century that I was selected to live. I don't wanna miss the wave for doing big business in that side of the world.
i don get it. Has people lost its ability to decide themselves? I bought my first brand new car following my own decision although i was constantly being given unsolicited advise to buy the brand that my friends preferred ( yes that is how it is, recommeding their preference ) but i will be the one using the car so why should i follow their recommendations which mostly lingers on resale values while i prefer speed as my foremost considerations. The result? My car is now 17 years old and i am very satisfied owner. Follow your decisions and never let anybody influence you on what to buy. The more that you do it, will makes you a better decision maker yourself.
There has been LIVE television shopping channels since the 90s as far as I can remember, probably earlier than that as well. This is just doing it on an app instead of TV station. Absolutely nothing new haha
yeah so instead of saying it will replace the store experience, lets just say it improves the online picture only ecommerce experience. Different customers.
I think it's not futuristic, it's as simple as doing a live on instagram and showing the product for the rest to see. Futuristic is not the concept that should be handled. I prefer evolution of the user experience. It means that before an online store offered us the best experience with offers, an easy-to-understand purchase flow, an efficient delivery system, etc. today that is part of the past. Evolution is bringing the physical experience to the virtual world, which is why augmented reality, virtual tours and teleshopping exist. A customer sees a product and in addition to finding the add to cart button, they can also find a teleshopping button so that a seller in real time can show the product and invite the customer to buy directly. This further closes the gap between the physical and the digital.
Looks like TV commercial finds its way to survive in the mobile era.

When I want to buy something I look for reviews on UA-cam first. Especially gadgets.
I won't be surprised if Instagram launches a similar feature in its app. It would drastically increase its user retension and engagement, which will increase the sales of small-time entrepreneurs.
Our lives today are just working and shopping. How sad and empty our species has become.
This is like tele shopping but just better. Concept has been there for a while!
Thanks for commenting. I will advise to look into making successful investment in Bitcoin and crypto currency exchange and stock market exchange with the aid of my trusted aid on whatsapp and make huge profits

Its more fun and also create more Fun Interactive Marketing Tactics these Influencers can use to brinh revenue for their or others company. An Entertaining way of Marketing and Selling a Product.
It's been happening outside of Asia for a while now. Mostly smaller shops and clothing shops. .
It first started in China way back in 2014-2015
As technology grows we get more confused about which country more capitalist...
Its very easy to differentiate Capitalism and Socialism. In capitalism, Big business dominates over the government (like in the US or UK.) While its the opposite in a socialist country.(China or Singapore)
Thank you for promoting Malaysia's shopping mall (Petronas Twin Tower) towards the end of the video 10:30 =)
What else is inside the towers?
It is like having your personal shopper without having to pay for the service.
This is basically QVC online. Big deal, this was done 30 years ago.
Can you directly communicate with QVC asking questions as with livestream?
@@tedaspane1493 yes, QVC for decades did call in questions and comments. Recently with the pandemic they started to do video chat on zoom.
So the QVC’s of Social Media… just adding the customer interaction…
It’s just infomercial online with influencers. How is it futuristic?
@pace kenelm True that, but still the way they sell things is anything futuristic.
By creating an internal demand China can continue its growth while depending less on exports.
The future? In my country they have been doing this in tv and radio since I can remember, now they also do it in Facebook Live...
Few salespeople in history are even "real" to their customers. 😑
so just focus on the product then -.- the function creates the bridge between you and the seller, not you and this Viya or lee from china. 😂 ask them to introduce the product like how you do in stores
In India we had naptol and home shop 18,way earlier
But that was not like these those were much more like tv advertising only
Its basically QVC for social media.
So basically, late night full length TV ads episodes. 🙄
Dude this is old news like...live streaming is everywhere in southeast asia
China: as long as you don't criticize the government, make as much money as you want! STRANGE... Capitalism....need a new word. Seriously.
I live in China and can confirm TaoBao is the future of shopping it's like scrolling on social media and you just buy things and 1 or 2 days later it's here
I feel like Taobao always knows what I want, every time I opened Taobao I ended up buying something.
Super interesting how this is like a parallel universe to twitch streaming!
I still don't understand why "experts" keep saying that e-commerce and increase consumerism is innovation.
Speak! On! It!👏
well...the china live streaming shopping industries are all dead this year, two most popular influencers were silicene because of government policies, and none know where they are going so I wonder why some people called live streaming shopping is future of e-commerce, or people easy to trust the fake big data of e-commerce?
I don’t really understand how this is the future of shopping.. there are some genuinely futuristic things in China but this isn’t really one of them.
agree. Its a very common thing, i dont understand why some country havent have these kind of mode of selling stuff yet?
Great video, you guys at Bloomberg Quicktake are really helping me out here. Thanks to each & everyone of you ❤️
It's also already happening in India, along with the most advanced Realtime payment system in the world "UPI"
Where ? Which platform ?
You know in that antiutopia movie with Stallone they had a radio, which played only commercials and people literally listening songs from commercials. You know what? This future is already here... OMG! People really waste their time on commercials!!!
Interesting video!!!
You should try to make videos on Investment...
And India is still stuck with shopping channels like Naap-tol in 2021 while China is actually living in the future!!!
Are you saying my country is bad? India is also advanced in E-commerce..
Amazon has already copied this but it's not going big here in US anytime soon.
I would like to spend my time on this planet actually living.
What a consumption life, commoditization
Then y u r here?
@@mappingtheshit I see a vast difference in being informed on what's happening in the world (it's also part of my job) and spending hours watching other people shop.
This type of shopping is popular in eastern Europe as well.
🔵Is there livestreaming in Spain or in Europe?
🔵What is livestreaming constantly associated with in Spain and Europe?
🔵Do you think this concept will take off in Spain? Why or why not?
🔵What are your thoughts on livestream shopping?
🔵Would you buy items from livestreaming? Why or why not?
🔴According to the video, what is the appeal of livestream shopping? (2-way communication, social proof, entertainment value, discounts - thanks to the huge bargaining power of influencers)
🔵Promotion strategies: time-limited discounts, scarcity
Others: discounts, after-sales service, gets you "emotionally involved"
Maria: you can see the product being used (+ thrill of unboxing),
I personally don't think this will catch on in the west. There are too many QVC vibes for me at least.
It's already coming down crushing.
This news is a few years late.
fast forward to 2024, we are still get "its shocking to see these chinese companies gaining popularity" headlines. Its mind boggling.
like it isnt rocket science, just people wanted to see the product, and some other people showcase their product to the buyers.
Its not only just china, in Bangladesh thousands of facebook base women entrepreneurs selling their products through live stream
Big T going places!
Why you call something future which has been there in China 5 years ago?
It's happening in India too.. on Facebook live..
I don’t see any difference between these live show shopping and the tv commercial scams from the old times. cheap price comes with cheap made products period
Happening in Indonesia eCommer merchant SHOPEE by SEAGROUP already live shopping
Going live over social media, displaying products and getting orders has been happening in Bangladesh since 2016
I guess, they are talking about Scale, not just few people here and there but the whole generation.
When a new trend starts in China, we always wonder: why we have never thought about that. Then we act like copy cat
I just love how that chinese woman talks about how hard it is to be concentrated on your job for 5 to 6 hours everyday. Obviously very privileged and never had to do 12+ hour shifts of manual labor. I'd even argue that my study is more intense on a daily basis than her enterprise.
That’s celebrity logic you know. Only their overpaid job is hard.
i love live streaming of adult toys with human demo 😍
We are witnessing the rise of another asian superpower, chinese progress are the equivalent of japanese meiji restoration v.2 in action
China rise already happen. They are now everywhere in everything. Economics, space, education, arquitecture, media, brand, commerce, entertainment, product, news, etc... and... they are not stoping anytime soon. I've been learning chinese for 4 months now. They are gonna be a enourmous player in the century that I was selected to live. I don't wanna miss the wave for doing big business in that side of the world.
It’s scary how dependent we’re becoming on technologies that will be used against us.
because it is convenient.
We're? You mean you. I'm not dependant on tech.
i don get it. Has people lost its ability to decide themselves? I bought my first brand new car following my own decision although i was constantly being given unsolicited advise to buy the brand that my friends preferred ( yes that is how it is, recommeding their preference ) but i will be the one using the car so why should i follow their recommendations which mostly lingers on resale values while i prefer speed as my foremost considerations. The result? My car is now 17 years old and i am very satisfied owner. Follow your decisions and never let anybody influence you on what to buy. The more that you do it, will makes you a better decision maker yourself.
There has been LIVE television shopping channels since the 90s as far as I can remember, probably earlier than that as well. This is just doing it on an app instead of TV station. Absolutely nothing new haha
This wouldn’t work for people who want to actually try on the clothes before they buy it.
Yeah, but that's a problem people will face when shopping online regardless.
@@asdkotable exactly, some things either can not, should not, or may not be ideally bought online.
yeah so instead of saying it will replace the store experience, lets just say it improves the online picture only ecommerce experience. Different customers.
This is a disgusting level of consumerism...i have a feeling all this will end soon
*kim kardashian selling slippers online: she made 100.000.000 mill off that*
TYLER 1 BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Amazon is doing the same in the US
While most of the superpower countries are busy doing dirty politics, China is just cutting through with all that noise.👍
I think it's not futuristic, it's as simple as doing a live on instagram and showing the product for the rest to see.
Futuristic is not the concept that should be handled. I prefer evolution of the user experience.
It means that before an online store offered us the best experience with offers, an easy-to-understand purchase flow, an efficient delivery system, etc. today that is part of the past. Evolution is bringing the physical experience to the virtual world, which is why augmented reality, virtual tours and teleshopping exist. A customer sees a product and in addition to finding the add to cart button, they can also find a teleshopping button so that a seller in real time can show the product and invite the customer to buy directly.
This further closes the gap between the physical and the digital.
"the future of shopping" is not ads. We already have them
Institutions need you to buy their bags ASAP
Thank you
This is going to be big💯
Tokopedia is doing it too now
