Product Launches & Teasers : You can generate the demand of a product before it launches and is available by giving a sneak-peak of a product to viewers. You can also do the live-unboxing of the product as it's interesting and gives the first hand look of a product to viewers. Thus, viewers get curious to buy the product. You can also launch a product via live stream and ask customers to pre-book a product. You can offer various deals on the pre-booking to attract more customers.
