Live shopping, the future of retail and a great example of the new trend “shoppertainment”.
This week on the S.O.B. (Small Owned Business) Marketing podcast, Vivian and I are discussing the emerging trend of live shopping, how it is growing, and the importance of engaging audiences through entertainment as a business. We delve into the platforms available for live shopping, essential preparations needed for successful live shopping events, the need for consistency and experimentation in this new retail landscape, and provide actionable insights.
Marketing HOT TAKE of the week: As a small business, are you tired of having to also be “entertainers”, or do you find this trend of “edutainment” and “shoppertainment” fun? Let us know in the comments!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
