Introduction
While the 618 Shopping Festival is ideal for boosting sales, it is also a strategic opportunity for overseas brands to build long-term loyalty among Chinese consumers. AI live commerce offers personalized engagement, real-time interaction, and transparent communication, fostering trust and repeat purchases. With over 10 years of experience helping overseas brands localize in China, we outline actionable strategies for leveraging AI live commerce to strengthen brand loyalty during the 618 festival.
1. Personalized Engagement for Repeat Buyers
1.1 AI-Driven Post-Live Recommendations
AI analyzes viewer behavior during live sessions to suggest follow-up purchases. A Swiss skincare brand increased repeat purchases by 32% by delivering AI-curated recommendations post-618 live streams.
1.2 Loyalty Program Automation
AI facilitates points, rewards, or exclusive offers to encourage continued engagement. Overseas brands can maintain connection beyond 618, driving long-term loyalty.
2. Interactive Festival Experiences

AI and AR allow viewers to visualize products during live streams, such as cosmetics or home appliances. A Korean eyewear brand boosted session engagement by 48% using AR demos.

AI monitors engagement in real-time, enabling overseas brands to adjust product focus, pacing, and interactive features, maximizing attention and conversion.
3. Transparency and Trust Building

Simultaneous live streaming across Douyin, Tmall, and Xiaohongshu ensures broad reach and consistent holiday messaging.
