Any brand registered selling partner is eligible to stream using the Amazon Live Creator app. These livestreams will appear on a brand’s Amazon Store for 30 days and can be viewed both live and on demand on Amazon.com/live.
Customers respond positively and connect with creators and personalities they relate to and who bring expertise to the subject matter they’re talking about.
Give customers the opportunity to interact with talent through live chat, secure a discount code, or gain access to a new product drop.
As experts in shoppable videos, we’ve seen success with a variety of broadcast lengths from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the format and creative. Longer run times usually include segments for the creator or expert to engage with the live chat.
In the social content environment, many customers watch and shop content without sound, so on-screen graphics and CTAs are a part of every stream. We take a customized approach to the size, cadence, and design of on-screen graphics depending on the objective of your activation.
Brand registered sellers can stream at no cost with the Amazon Live Creator app. Managed-service campaigns start at $125K USD.

Brand registered sellers can stream any time, anywhere. Through managed service, brands can guarantee placement within streams through sponsorship and integration within existing programming, or through custom storytelling.
Amazon Live has access to best-in-class talent, from content creators who are part of the Amazon Influencer Program to media personalities, celebrities, and even talent supplied by a brand (e.g., celebrity spokespeople, founders).
