Livestream commerce has transformed how people shop in Vietnam. What began as small sellers experimenting with TikTok Shop or Shopee Live has grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Yet while anyone can start a livestream, not every session drives measurable results. Many livestreams remain focused on entertaining or building awareness, but fall short when it comes to converting engagement into revenue.
That is where the concept of the performance-driven livestream emerges. Unlike ordinary livestreams that prioritize views or entertainment value, performance-driven livestreams are engineered from the ground up to deliver predictable, scalable, and measurable business outcomes. At the center of this transformation in Vietnam is EcoLive by Ecomobi, the country’s largest livestream production facility. With 40,000 m² of purpose-built space, 13,000 live hours each month, and over 150 trained hosts, EcoLive is redefining how livestream commerce is executed.
Defining Performance-driven Livestream
So what exactly is a performance-driven livestream?
It is a livestream designed with one goal: measurable business impact. Every element, from scripting and hosting to technology and analytics, is optimized to generate sales, increase conversion rates, and build long-term customer loyalty.
Key differences from traditional livestreams:
- Not just about views. A performance-driven livestream measures success in orders, GMV, and repeat purchases, not just audience size.
- Not just entertainment. While engaging content is important, every product demo, story, and call-to-action is scripted to drive conversions.
- Not just one-time sales. The objective extends beyond one-time sales. It’s about increasing customer retention and transforming livestream commerce into a reliable, recurring sales channel.
The Role of Data & Analytics in Performance-driven Livestreams
Data is the backbone of every performance-driven livestream. Without analytics, brands are simply broadcasting. With analytics, they are optimizing in real time.
EcoLive by Ecomobi integrates directly with the back-end of major platforms, powering our Livestream Tiktok and Livestream Shopee services with real-time data. This allows brands to monitor viewer behavior and sales outcomes second by second.
Some ways data powers livestream success:
- Real-time decision-making: Brands can launch vouchers or extend streams when engagement spikes.
- Customer journey tracking: Understanding how many viewers add items to cart, check out, or drop off – identifying friction points to improve.
- Host and content optimization: Identifying which presenters, storylines, or product formats deliver the highest conversion rates.
This fusion of creativity and data ensures that livestreams are not just engaging shows, but performance-first sales events.
Case Study 1: Unilever – HomeCare Campaigns
Unilever is one of the global FMCG leaders leveraging EcoLive to transform HomeCare livestreaming into a performance-driven channel. Moving beyond one-off activations, Unilever runs continuous livestreams for up to 18 hours daily, utilizing EcoLive’s 42 BAU rooms for daily sessions and 9 Mega studios for flagship campaigns.
Results:
- Average viewership: 65,000 – 80,000 per session
- Engagement rate: 8 – 10% (vs. ecommerce benchmark of 5%)
- Conversion rate: 3.2% (above the ~2% industry average)

Case Study 2: L’Oréal – Beauty & Skincare Campaigns
Beauty is one of the most competitive categories in livestream commerce, where authenticity and trust directly impact sales. L’Oréal partnered with EcoLive to design performance-driven livestream campaigns that combined professional hosts with KOCs and micro-influencers.
By using EcoLive’s Mega studios, L’Oréal ran simultaneous livestreams across multiple products, turning each into a conversion event supported by user-generated content.
Results:
- Peak viewership: 120,000+ concurrent viewers
- Engagement rate: 12–14% driven by Q&A and live product demos
- Conversion rate: 4.1% (nearly double the regional average of ~2.2%)
- Orders generated: 10,000+ in a single UGC + livestream session
