What sells on a live stream for pet?

Things with a decision in them. An item somebody is uncertain about — fit, size, quality, how it behaves — sells on a stream, because the stream answers the uncertainty in real time.

What sells, and what does not

What does not sell is the commodity line the buyer can price-compare in ten seconds. Putting it on a stream turns an hour of attention into a comparison shopping session.

Live selling works where the product has to be seen moving, worn or demonstrated, and does little where it does not. For a pet supplies store in the UAE, the answer turns on one thing in particular: Pet food is the most reliably repeated purchase in retail: the bag runs out on a known schedule.

What is different about the UAE

Delivery expectations in the UAE are set by same-day services, so five-day shipping reads as slow whatever the price.

Card payment is the norm in the UAE, with cash on delivery still expected by a meaningful minority.

What is different about a pet supplies 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

This is the clearest case for an app of any category. TicApp built barcode reordering into Pets Lounge for exactly this.

Thinking about an app for your store?

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