The term “Shoppertainment” refers to how brands increase sales by offering more exciting and engaging shopping experiences. It is a combination of the words “shopping” and “entertainment.” Read on to learn how pharmaceutical companies can make the best of it.

Have You Heard About Shoppertainment?

Shoppertainment is the content-driven commerce that integrates content and community to produce extremely immersive shopping experiences while initially aiming to amuse and educate.

In other words, it is the fusion of entertainment and e-commerce to draw in customers and boost sales. It appeals to customers who want emotional and authentic brand content fueled by experiential interaction.

When Did The Word Shoppertainment Start?

Around 2019, the phrase “shoppertainment,” specifically, began to circulate in e-commerce discussions.

The phrase was first used by Southeast Asian e-commerce, Lazada, which redefined online shopping with a focus on livestream events, interactive features, and games.

They have completely embraced the customer’s desire to “see now, purchase now” and have been innovators in the shoppertainment movement.

Lazada has set the standard for other e-commerce companies around the world by proving that it is possible to engage millions of people in shoppertainment activities and turn that interest into revenue.
