Elon Musk's X and Paris Hilton Jump into Livestream Shopping
Updated: Oct 5
Guess what? The online shopping scene is getting a fresh spin! In news announced on the 2nd October, Elon Musk's X (which we all remember as Twitter), is teaming up with none other than media icon Paris Hilton to dip its toes into the world of livestream shopping. Imagine catching a live video, chatting away with fellow shoppers, and snagging cool products, all at the same time.
This isn’t just a random venture. X is aiming to morph into an “everything app”, stepping beyond its microblogging roots. This new collab with Paris Hilton is a sneak peek into how shopping on X might look – live, interactive, and backed by some big names.
Now, X isn’t the pioneer of livestream shopping by any means. Platforms like TikTok have been blending shopping with live videos for some time now, making shopping a lively, social event. But X jumping into the mix is surely stirring the pot, making this trend even more mainstream, and it's especially interesting for online sellers who might get a new, snazzy platform to showcase their goodies to another audience base.
Before becoming X, Twitter had already flirted with e-commerce, launching mobile storefronts known as 'Twitter Shops'. And after changing its name, X didn’t waste time; it teamed up with Walmart for a live shopping test run during a Cyber Deals live event. Now with Paris Hilton on board, things are about to get a lot more glamorous!
Why should you care? Well, if you're an online seller, this could be a new playground to connect with customers in real time, showing off your products in a lively, interactive way. And for us shoppers, it’s a fresh, fun way to discover and buy products.
Livestream shopping is just one piece of the online shopping evolution puzzle. There's a whole world of digital shopping innovations out there. Have you heard about how Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are changing the game? Dive into our blog post to learn more.
