Skyrocket Your Live Shopping Audience & Track ROI with the Lean Growth Stack

You're investing time and money into BigCommerce live shopping events, but the audience numbers are disappointing. Your promotions feel like shouting into the void—a mix of social posts and emails with no clear strategy. When the event is over, you're left guessing which channels actually worked, making it impossible to calculate your ROI or improve your strategy for the next event.


This playbook implements the Lean Growth Stack to transform your live shopping promotion from a costly guessing game into a predictable, viral growth engine. By using UpViral, you'll create a compelling referral campaign that incentivizes attendees to invite their friends in exchange for exclusive rewards. MailerLite will nurture these new leads with automated email sequences, building hype and ensuring they show up. Zapier acts as the crucial link, seamlessly syncing data between both platforms. The result is an exponentially larger, highly engaged audience and clear attribution data, allowing you to finally measure the true ROI of your marketing.

Expected Outcomes

  • Dramatically increase viewership and engagement for your BigCommerce live shopping events.
  • Build a powerful, self-perpetuating promotional loop that lowers your customer acquisition cost.
  • Gain crystal-clear attribution to understand exactly which channels and referrers drive sign-ups and sales.
  • Create a scalable and repeatable playbook for promoting all future live events.
  • Rapidly grow a high-intent email list for ongoing marketing campaigns.

Integration Logic

  • Zapier

    Zapier acts as a middleware that connects Notion with other applications. It operates on a 'trigger and action' basis. A trigger is an event in an app (e.g., 'New Database Item' in Notion, or 'New Event' in Google Calendar) that starts a workflow. An action is an event that Zapier completes in another app (e.g., 'Create Page' in Notion, or 'Send a Slack message'). Data flows from the trigger application to the action application, with Zapier allowing users to map specific data fields between the services. For instance, a new submission in a Google Form can trigger a Zap to create a new item in a Notion database, mapping form questions to Notion properties.
