Abstract

Live commerce has become an increasingly important sales channel under digitization. Live commerce, as a form of digital platforms, has three main characteristics: entertaining nature, no equipment restriction, and frequent huge discounts. But whether features of live commerce work well with luxury brands remains unclear. On the one hand, the accessibility of luxury brands is limited to ensure exclusiveness. Those three characteristics may not fit perfectly with branding image of luxury brands. On the other hand, as the live-streaming room allows a higher consumer capacity, this form of digital platforms allow luxury brands to better promote their products. This research investigates the relationship between live commerce and luxury brands and reveals several important findings. First, live streaming sales do not hurt consumers’ perception of luxury brands, including price perception, social class perception, product quality perception, service quality perception, etc. Live streaming sales also contribute to consumers’ willingness to purchase. Second, having public figures with bad reputation to promote the luxury brands on live-streaming platforms has no effect on brand image, while the existence of public figures with good reputation on live-streaming platforms promotes overall luxury brand image except the common-design perception. These findings contribute to insights in the impact of live-streaming platforms and literature in economics of digitization.
