As consumers grow more aware of the environmental and social consequences of their purchases, businesses are increasingly compelled to respond to these evolving values. Companies recognise that aligning with their audience’s concerns is not just a trend but a crucial strategy for long-term success.
To meet the growing demand for sustainable options, IP Österreich, the multichannel media sales subsidiary of RTL Germany, has partnered with Green Shopping Days, an annual event dedicated to promoting sustainable products and services. This event provides a unique platform for companies to showcase their sustainable products through an engaging, live shopping experience. For the sales house, this goes in a revenue diversification initiative to position itself as a reference even outside of the classical spot advertising.
Green Shopping Live
This event offers a live shopping experience where consumers can interact with brands that prioritise sustainability. By bringing together influencers, brand ambassadors, and experts, Green Shopping Days aims to raise awareness of climate-friendly products and encourage responsible consumer choices.
The core of the experience is a 30 to 60-minute live broadcast on www.greenshoppingdays.de, where influencers and brand ambassadors guide viewers through the live program. While the website remains active after the event, sustainable products will only be showcased during the campaign days*. The live shopping experience will also be promoted through a dedicated TV campaign, amplifying its reach and engagement. After the live event, the program will be available on demand for 30 days. Influencers and experts will be carefully selected based on their reach and alignment with the project’s values, ensuring maximum impact, efficiency, and authenticity for an engaging and meaningful experience.

By featuring a diverse range of industries, Green Shopping Days provides consumers with a comprehensive view of climate friendly solutions, encouraging sustainable choices across various aspects of life.
