Tips for Using Livestreams Effectively
- Place livestreams strategically on relevant pages where they add genuine value
- Add a brief description above the embed explaining what customers will see
- Consider the loading time – one well-placed livestream will be more effective than multiple streams slowing down your page
- Update expired livestreams with fresh content to keep your store current
By adding interactive livestreams to your Shopify store, you create a more dynamic shopping experience that can significantly increase time spent on your site and boost conversions.
