Down But NOT Out: Mike Lindell Returns To Live Selling In A BIG Way

As reported by Benzinga, the inaugural show is scheduled for November 10, 2023, on the social shopping platform of Verb Technology Company Inc. The shows are designed to facilitate a seamless shopping experience for customers and fans, allowing them to interact directly with Lindell and co-host Tiffany Bucciarelli from the MARKET.live show 'Life-Styled with Tiffany & Sergio'.

Lindell shared his excitement about the venture with Yahoo Finance, stating, "I’m constantly asked by my fans and customers when I would return to live selling. While we’ve had enormous success with televised live selling over the years, changes in technology have produced changes in how people shop." He further explained the shift in consumer preferences, noting that "Televised shopping shows are far less popular and far less effective than they were over the past decade. Today, people prefer a mobile-friendly shopping experience, allowing them to shop where and when they want, and not just through static images."

Livestream sales are projected to constitute 5 percent of all e-commerce sales in the US by 2026. However, the U.S. market could potentially exceed this projection, given that livestream sales are expected to account for 19 percent of all e-commerce sales in China in 2023.
