Abstract—Live-streaming is growing rapidly and contributes
to digital marketing. Aiming to find out the relationships
between live-streaming e-commerce and consumers’ purchase
intentions, as well as corporate brand marketing and the
influencing factors behind the associations, this research, from
the standpoint of customers, adopted an online survey to collect
342 samples in China. The author finds that live-streaming can
increase consumers’ purchase intentions and improve
corporate brand marketing. On the one hand, customers are
found to pay more attention to discounts, coupons, and gifts
offered in live-streaming rooms before purchasing through
live-streaming and buying new brands, compared with other
factors. On the other hand, brands related to public welfare are
more likely to be remembered by audiences, which is conducive
to corporate brand marketing. More interestingly, this research
also indicates that consumers have a positive attitude towards
purchasing through live-streaming during Chinese shopping
festivals. Besides, customers’ age is also found to have a
significantly negative relationship with their attitudes on the
purchase intentions through live-streaming. Overall, this study
has theoretical and practical implications. Not only does it
enrich the existing literature regarding live-streaming, but also
it provides some useful suggestions to suppliers, live-streamers,
and companies.
Index Terms—Live-streaming e-commerce, purchase
