The objective according to Forbes David Sandstrom, CMO of Klarna is “My ambition is to create an ultra-modern QVC… without all the cheesy tactics and salespeople“.
What is QVC?
Qurate Retail Group is a cable channel created in 1986 that offers the most engaging shopping experiences, combining the best of retail, media and social media. It has grown into a multi-million dollar business selling products such as jewelry, clothing, household items, or low-budget products with salespeople and live interviews.
Klarna has done some previous tests
The Swedish company “buy now and pay later” has made two previous tests to know what kind of response consumers might have.
In August did his first test. He did a live broadcast to experience and generated 3 times more traffic in your application, compared to an average weekend in 2020.
The other test was in November when he spent six hours on a live show for European buyers which attracted more than 100,000 viewers.
Other companies are also working to make Shoppentretaiment
Klarna is not the only company that has noticed that the Shoppentretaiment is gaining momentum. Companies like Walmart a few months ago collaborated with Tik Tok to be able to do their first live shopping program.
This avalanche of live purchases has been a “response” to the results that were seen during the Singles Day, Alibaba 11.11, in which some brands such as Nike, Adidas or Apple achieved sales of 100 million yuan in gross merchandise volume (GMV).
