Carefully Selected Products in Live Stream

On 25 May, Perry live-streamed the video "Master Xiao P Laoshi Takes You to Hong Kong Harbour City" on Yizhibo. In the 90-minute live stream, Perry led his fans from the main entrance of Ocean Terminal in Harbour City to Lane Crawford, FACESSS and stores on the third floor, as well as to other beauty brands. The live stream started at 7:30 p.m., as the Mainland internet users peak after dinner.

Perry specially recommended six beauty brands and products in Harbour City. He began with La Mer, which is a brand that fans in Mainland China are familiar with. Following that, he introduced Chantecaille from France. He then demonstrated a new brand from the United States, Hourglass, the newly launched brand in Hong Kong, whose products were used by singer Madonna for her concert.

Perry also provided different price ranges of products to cater to different customers' needs. For example, he highlighted the American brand Lipstick Queen, which was exclusive to Harbour City. At the end, he introduced the medical skincare brand SkinCeuticals and the Israeli brand Sabon, which is not yet being sold in the Mainland.  

Perry successfully caught fans' attention by showing them a 'real shopping experience' of selecting beauty products and answering questions raised by audiences during the live stream.
