Your own host presents products, answers questions and manages the offer and running order.

Channel KPIs and benchmarks

How we manage live shopping campaigns.

Viewers over time

We identify which segments build attention and which lose it.

Live product clicks

Interactions reveal which presentations and offers generate purchase interest.

Orders and GMV

Sales are attributed to the stream, product and time of purchase.

  • Which campaign earns its budget?
  • Let the data guide your next move.

Host and running order

Hosting, demos, objection handling and calls to action improve after every livestream.

Stock and offer

Products and terms are matched to expected demand and operational capacity.

Organic and paid together

Creator reach and paid traffic are measured separately and optimised together.

  • What should you scale next?
  • Your strongest asset, backed by reliable tracking.

Your questions Answered

We assess your product, audience, margin, creative potential and measurement setup before launch. Live shopping works when these conditions line up. If they don't, we won't recommend ongoing expansion.

We plan Brand Live, Creator Live and Live Shopping Ads. The right mix depends on your goals, product and existing content.

We assess viewer trends, live product clicks, orders, GMV, hosting and running order to inform the next budget decision. IDA connects these with costs and store results.

We need a stable TikTok Shop, suitable products, reliable stock, a clear live offer and quick answers to logistics and customer service questions.

Either can work. A brand host offers control and repeatability; a creator brings existing community trust. The choice depends on your product, how much explanation it needs, reach and planned frequency.

Yes. Depending on the service, we handle strategy, selection, outreach, negotiation, briefing, approvals, tracking, reporting and optimisation. You keep control at the agreed approval stages.

The right mix depends on your product, audience and growth goals.
