Expanding its e-commerce footprint, YouTube is launching its inaugural live shopping channel in South Korea. The novel initiative, set to begin later this month, will feature approximately 30 brands on a live-commerce platform, marking YouTube's first official shopping channel worldwide.
It is worth noting that YouTube has not opened an official shopping channel anywhere else in the world to date. Despite this being a fresh concept, the tech giant is keen on delivering an entertaining, engaging, and informative shopping experience for users.
YouTube is committed to creating an engaging and entertaining shopping experience for everyone, including in Korea. To achieve this, it may experiment with a variety of YouTube Shopping features as it continues to work hard to optimize and deliver the best experience for its users.
In 2020, YouTube unveiled a shopping tab in its Explore section, allowing eligible creators to tag products in their livestreams or list their products under their videos. This paved the way for viewers to purchase products.
In Alphabet Inc.'s Q4 2022 earnings call, Philipp Schindler, the company's chief business officer, discussed how Alphabet is focusing on making YouTube more "shoppable" as part of its efforts to foster more creators, more content and, ultimately, more viewers - all of which translate to more opportunities for advertisers.
Although nascent, Schindler highlighted that Alphabet sees tremendous potential in this fresh concept. Thus, YouTube may include additional features from time to time to enhance the user experience in the upcoming shopping channel.
South Korea has a thriving live-streaming commerce industry headed by tech giant Naver, making it a perfect testing ground for YouTube's latest venture into becoming more "shoppable."
The Alphabet-owned company is launching a new 90-day channel that will operate in the Korean language and provide a live-commerce platform to companies. According to Yonhap and other Korean media, it will livestream shopping content from around 30 brands to offer an immersive shopping experience.
