Video-Shopping Experience has bear fruitful results in countries like China which has been tackling the COVID-19 crisis for a much longer duration. For instance, Chinese brand Lin Qingxuan got 100+ of its beauty advisors to become online influencers who used online platforms such as WeChat to engage customers and drive sales. This creative idea was implemented after Lin Qingxuan was forced to close 40% of its stores during the crisis.
