Here is what MD have to say:
Lino Ahlering, Managing Director of Daraz Nepal, stated that “The introduction of Daraz Live is the next step in creating a more vibrant and inclusive ecosystem here in Nepal. With Daraz Live, we hope to achieve that by helping build a greater level of connection between the customer and the seller. We want to build a strong community where everybody has a platform to access any information that they are seeking when it comes to online shopping. We’re confident Daraz Live is that platform. And with that, we’re hopeful Daraz Live will play a big part in helping the e-commerce ecosystem grow to new heights“.
Daraz Live will be an excellent opportunity for the sellers to connect with their customers as online seller rarely gets such opportunities. The sellers will interact with the customers in real-time and further strengthen the bond between the consumers and sellers. This will benefit the vendor within the short run and help them build a level of trust and acquaintance with customers.
Given the popularity of online shopping in Nepal, Daraz Live Stream might be a commendable and unique means of allowing customers to interact with streamers in real-time for quick and easy responses. While Livestream purchasing is new to Nepal, it holds long-term potential for both companies and e-commerce platforms. Daraz Livestream can’t go unnoticed by shoppers, with so many exciting offers and deals.
