Should a kids and baby store in Kuwait try live selling?

Worth trying, on one condition: that buying happens inside the stream. A live session that ends with a link to a product page loses most of the audience at the moment they were most willing.

What trying it actually requires

Start with one seller, one hour, and a small number of items you hold in stock. The failure mode of a first attempt is a catalogue too wide to demonstrate and stock that runs out mid-session.

Live selling works where the product has to be seen moving, worn or demonstrated, and does little where it does not. For a kids and baby store in Kuwait, the answer turns on one thing in particular: The customer ages out of every product they buy, so the catalogue has to follow the child or the customer leaves.

What is different about Kuwait

A small, dense, high-income market where delivery is quick and word of mouth moves faster than advertising.

Local payment habits favour cards and instant transfer.

What is different about a kids and baby store

The work is not the video. It is buying inside the video, because a link to a product page loses most of the audience.

Where a mobile app comes into it

Knowing when somebody bought 6-month clothing tells you what they need in six months, and an app is where that is acted on.

Thinking about an app for your store?

A short call, and an honest answer about whether it is worth it for you yet.
