Live streaming shoppable video is already a growing consumer interest worldwide, and is projected to grow to a $170b market in China this year.1 With ongoing concerns surrounding in-person retail due to the Covid-19 pandemic, brands and retailers have an increased interest in creating more interactive virtual shopping experiences. While a few companies in the US have been testing shoppable live streams, Clicktivated is a leader and only platform that is able to activate a live stream to be directly clickable.

“The future of video fully revolves around streaming and interactive content. This new integration allows the perfect combination of the two, keeping viewers engaged and making it super simple to shop in the moment,” said Chris Roebuck, CEO and Founder of Clicktivated. “With live streaming platforms gaining massive popularity, we set out to develop a feature that would activate these livestreams in the same way that we activate pre-recorded videos.”
