Customers in the United States can now shop alongside their favorite creators, brands, and celebrities like Lala Kent, Kandi Burruss, and Paige DeSorbo on Amazon Live’s new interactive, shoppable, and free ad-supported (FAST) Channel on Prime Video.
In 2023, more than 1 billion customers in the U.S. and India watched Amazon Live streams across desktop, mobile, and Fire TV. With this launch, customers in the U.S. will now have more ways to shop with Amazon Live creators, brands, and celebrities. The new channel will also feature Amazon’s “shop the show” technology that enables customers to more seamlessly browse, shop, and engage with content they are watching on the TV screen by using their mobile device.
"We are excited to bring customers more ways to shop with their favorite Amazon Live creators and brands on our premium streaming services,” said Wayne Purboo, vice president of Amazon Shopping Videos. "With the new ‘Amazon Live’ FAST Channel on Prime Video, we’re making shoppable entertainment more accessible, interactive, and engaging than ever before.”
Making it easier to shop the TV screen
One of Amazon Live’s most unique benefits is how customers can easily add items to their shopping cart and complete their purchases in just a few clicks without ever leaving what they’re watching. The “shop the show” technology brings the simplicity of that shopping experience to the TV screen. While watching the new FAST Channel, customers can open the Amazon Shopping app on their phone, type “shop the show” into the search bar, and they’ll be instantly directed to a shopping carousel highlighting the featured products they see on TV in real time. With 75% of adults in the U.S. looking at a mobile device while watching TV1, this technology provides customers with a seamless, interactive, and convenient shopping experience.
