Liverpool-based Transmission Studio is helping local independent businesses to join the digital retail revolution by opening three professional studio spaces, designed specifically for hosting live events on TikTok Shop.
The innovative livestreaming studio, located at Brunswick Business Centre, is the first in the city to introduce pay-as-you-go style studios, dedicated to TikTok Shop.
Providing small business owners with prime facilities to help grow their presence on TikTok Shop, Transmission Studio is offering studio hire within its social shopping hub from as little as £100 for a three-hoursession. The broadcast-ready studios include essentials such as professional grade lighting, interchangeable backdrops, sleek furniture and high-speed internet access. To help local entrepreneurs maximise sales on the platform, sister company Virtuopo, which is a certified TikTok Shop Partner Agency, is also offering bespoke coaching in presenting and producing live content, as well as social shopping strategy workshops.
Chris Holmes, Director at Transmission Studios and Virtuopo said:
“Our goal is to provide a studio environment where businesses of all sizes can come along and create high quality live content on TikTok Shop.”
“Most small businesses don’t have access to professional lighting, styled studios or experts they can turn to for advice on how to get started on TikTok Shop. We’re about to change this by introducing a social commerce hub, with studio hire on a pay-as-you-go model and professional support on hand.
“We aim to make it easier for small businesses to tap into the live shopping trend, which can have a huge impact on generating engagement, increasing sales and driving growth. Our new studios have been specially created for TikTok Shop LIVEs and would be perfectly suited to local fashion retailers, beauty brands and tech start-ups who are keen to explore the business potential of the platform.”
TikTok Shop was the fastest growing online retailer in 2024 and more than 6,000 LIVEs are streamed on the platform in the UK every day*.
Liverpool-based designer resale platform Luxe Collective is already reaping the rewards of TikTok Shop. Co-founder, Ben Gallagher recently revealed the company generated £2.5 million in revenue over the last 12 months through TikTok Shop alone**. Transmission Studios aims to inspire more local entrepreneurs to maximise the potential of hosting live events on TikTok Shop.
Transmission Studios opened in 2023 as a space for livestreaming large-scale corporate events, webinars and virtual conferences. The green screen enabled virtual studio is also used for social shopping events, influencer livestreams, celebrity interviews, live music sessions, podcasts and photoshoots, as well as video and film production.
Studio spaces dedicated to TikTok Shop are available for hire across three prime slots daily, seven days a week. For further information, please visit the website.
