Relationships between Live-streaming e-Commerce and Consumers’ Purchase Intentions and Corporate Brand Marketing: A Survey Based on China

Yingfang Chen

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 intention, brand marketing, discount.
