HUGO BOSS | Soft Launch to Milan Fashion Week in Two Livestreams

Joining the global
Live Shopping shift

HUGO BOSS wanted to make its mark with a Live Shopping solution that could embody brand’s high-end look and feel and provide a social media level of engagement within their native ecom.

Aware that Live Shopping is a vital online shopping experience that customers now expect from retailers, HUGO BOSS was keen to enter the space by leveraging One-to-Many – Bambuser’s market-leading solution.

HUGO BOSS chose One-to-Many because it’s capable of...

• Bringing the brand even closer to its customers
• Hosting authentic and engaging Live Shopping shows
• Embeding into the brand’s site within two weeks
• Going live effectively with a simple and versatile setup

Show #1:
STYLE LIKE A BOSS

‍

The event was recorded using only a smartphone and broadcasted on the German site. It was hosted by local influencers who guided viewers through summer business looks for the office.

To ensure the best possible first Live Shopping experience, Bambuser’s production team organized a dedicated workshop to guide and inspire the HUGO BOSS team to go live independently to the highest standard.

To host the event, HUGO BOSS recruited two well-known German fashion influencers who are experienced in front of the camera and have a relevant and extensive combined social following that could be encouraged to tune in. This is a common and powerful Live Shopping strategy proven to maximize reach and customer engagement, particularly for brand events aiming to increase reach.

HUGO BOSS also used its existing marketing channels and online presence to drum up excitement and get as many eyes on the Live Shopping launch as possible. The site advertised the event with a notice on the landing page and a pop-up banner, and a newsletter was sent out prior to going live that directly led devoted customers to the stream.

The results

The 21-minute livestream achieved a strong engagement rate and revealed a dedicated Live Shopping audience.

The success factor behind BOSS’ first Live Shopping event show was the hosts being relaxed and confident, which resulted in a smooth, high-quality outcome with a professional feel.

The Bambuser Dashboard showed that almost all of the audience targeted through the newsletter committed to watching the show, proving that BOSS has a very loyal audience and can look forward to engaging with a massive audience as it follows its plan to go live frequently in the future.

Plus, while connecting and engaging with their core customers on a deeper level, the brand was able to gain a new audience.

The brand was also extremely impressed with the revenue generated. The sales alone encouraged the brand to plan a full integration of One-to-Many throughout both the BOSS and HUGO brands and online stores.

All in all, BOSS was able to achieve its objective of hosting an authentic, premium Live Shopping experience with significant and ground-breaking results, using a team-managed setup.

The brand's ecommerce team is excited to continue growing closer to its audience with One-to-Many and continue to explore the partnership and results with Bambuser.
