Frequent
questions

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Contact us
What kind of camera and microphone do I need?

Most people postpone getting started with live shopping because they don’t have a high-end DSLR camera, special lights and a fancy studio. Contrary to popular belief, you really just need a smartphone and a tidy desk or room to get started! Mobile phone cameras have become very sophisticated and can provide very good video quality with minimal effort. Additionally, we recommend getting a tripod for your device, or even a light ring. A lav mic is also worth the investment, but totally optional.

Of course, if you want to take your live shopping experience to the next level, you can consider having 2 or 3 DSLR cameras, special multi-point lighting and a special room setup. But in the end, remember it’s about showcasing your products and how you engage your audience that matters.

Do we need big budgets to host live shopping events?

StageMe makes it easy and frictionless to organize such events. You don’t need a studio, you don’t need fancy equipment, you don’t need an expensive influencer to be successful! Just like on social networks, this is user-generated content which never uses professional and expensive gear, it just reflects reality.

Please read the Ultimate Live Shopping Guide on how to broadcast with StageMe.

What happens if we make flops or mistakes during live shows?

It might sound counterintuitive, but this is exactly what your audience wants. They want to see genuine interaction with honest people in front of the camera. The moment your audience senses this is directed or pre-recorded and edited, they lose interest. So remember, getting it done is always better than getting it perfect!

Do I need to invest a lot of time and energy in creating live shows?

Not really, no. You can even allow the presenter to take care of everything. Remember, this is user-generated content. Genuine interaction is more important than a high-quality and directed movie. Even so, StageMe offers fully managed and hands-off event production, just get in touch with us today!

How is StageMe better than other live video shopping tools?

Do they offer you automated selling on Facebook and Instagram, too?

Do they offer you picture in picture video during the checkout process?
