Why Go Live?

• Live selling helps you connect with customers beyond your store hours.

• Lets customers see the real you and builds trust.

How to Start Selling Live

• Educate your customers on how to comment, claim, and pay.

• Choose the right platform (Facebook, Instagram, apps like CommentSold).

Tools You Need to Succeed

• A tripod, ring light, strong internet, and hang tags for items.

• Optional: an assistant or fit models to show sizing and keep things moving.

Marketing Your Live Sales

• Promote with texts, emails, and teaser posts.

• Be on time — just like you would opening your store.

• Repurpose your live by reposting or using watch parties to extend reach.

Pro Tips to Boost Engagement
