"Li has carefully built his personal brand to demonstrate his expertise and build consumer trust. KOLs are also working within much more sophisticated platform ecosystems," Mr Reynolds explains.Even Ms Krakora admits that not all products work on a live shopping stream.

For example, she prefers to shop for jeans in-person. "I'm tall, and I have specific cuts of jeans that I wear," she says, "and there are tried-and-true styles and brands I like."Bruce Winder, a retail analyst in Toronto, also says that for some shoppers, the convenience of live shopping might be too attractive."Consumers may get addicted to the show or channel... and some consumers may not be able to stop watching and spending as they get caught up in the moment," he adds.

Despite those potential pitfalls, major brands and platforms have jumped on the live shopping bandwagon.Nordstrom, Kit Kat, Samsung and L'Oreal have sold products during these streams as hosts showcased new or discounted products, and joining Poshmark as the host for these events are Amazon, eBay, TikTok, YouTube and Instagram.

"Live shopping lets shoppers have a conversation with someone who knows the products being sold, and that generates a lot of excitement," says Manish Chandra, the chief executive and founder of Poshmark.

"It also creates a community where other shoppers are in the same show, and it's really a different experience than a traditional shopping trip."The boy's mother described his release as "a miracle", adding that the weeks he had been in captivity had been "horrible, a nightmare".

The stepfather, a local merchant, told local media that he was not involved in any illicit business and said he did not know why he had been targeted.It is not clear if a ransom was paid for the boy's release.
