Using IG Live Comment Automation and Auto DM, Libas turns Live Streaming into profitable Live Shopping with engaging Shoppable Videos.
Published: 4 August 2024 Updated: 4 August 2024

Instagram Live (IG Live) is a fantastic way for brands to connect with their audience in real time. It allows businesses to showcase products, interact directly with viewers, and create a dynamic shopping experience.

The engagement during live sessions helps build brand loyalty and drives sales, making it an essential tool for modern e-commerce.

Comment Automation enables brands to automatically respond to comments with personalized DMs, sharing vital information, product links and special offers.

When someone is commenting, that's the time they are most interested in your products, therefore instantly sending a DM boosts conversions and enhances the overall customer experience, ensuring no potential sale is missed.

Libas, with over 35 years of expertise in crafting beautiful women's apparel, has become a trusted name in the fashion industry. Their commitment to quality and style has garnered them a loyal customer base and a significant social media following.

During their Purple Days Sale, Libas aimed to leverage IG Live to maximize engagement and sales.

They also intended to use Channelize to simulcast the event on both their website and Instagram.

However, with 446k followers on Instagram, they anticipated a high volume of comments and interactions on IG Live - more than they would get on their website. The challenge was managing these interactions efficiently, sending exclusive offers like "Live10," and guiding viewers to the live shopping experience on their website. This is where Spur's innovative solutions came into play.

The Solution: Spur's Instagram Live Comment Reply Automation

Spur's Instagram Live Comment Reply Automation was the game-changer for Libas. This tool allowed Libas to automatically send DMs to anyone who commented during the IG Live Stream. The DMs contained buttons that directed viewers to product links, the live shopping site, and other promotional content.

They set up the automation flow, specifying keywords that would trigger DMs with product links and the live stream link. They also excluded certain keywords to ensure only relevant comments received responses.

The automated messages that would go in the DM included two buttons: one linking to the live stream on the website and another showing the 20 products being promoted. Additionally, a delayed cart recovery message reminded viewers of the coupon and encouraged post-live purchases.

Libas also sent the 20 products to the influencer for showcasing during the live. On the day of the event, further promotions were shared through stories.

The live session began at 12:00 PM, attracting hundreds of viewers. As viewers commented, Spur's automation system efficiently handled a variety of keywords, including new ones added in real-time based on audience interactions.

Plus, they noticed people were commenting keywords we were not expecting, but with Spur they were easily able to edit the automation trigger and add more keywords so that if new people commented these keywords, they would get the DM.
