Abstract

In China, online live streaming shopping as a part of e-commerce shows rapid growth, while many sellers can not achieve the economic benefits as expected. This study mainly extracts, analyzes, and examines the general features of e-commerce live streaming shopping, positively affecting consumers' purchase intentions. Many UGC sellers can obtain some practical ways to output more high-quality content with limited resources.

This study places the following nine features as independent hypotheses: streamer's professionalism, awareness, homogeneity, attractiveness, reliability, contents’ interaction, entertainment, discount, uniqueness, and consumers’ purchase intention taken as a dependent variable. As a result of statistical analysis of the data collected through the survey, all nine hypotheses were adopted.
