For those that follow me, know I have been an avid proponent for StreamLabs (SLABS) for many reasons, but one being their ability to gift merchandise to viewers in the stream. The initial benefit to SE over SLABS, was that SE offered merchandise with the ability to offer discounts to Twitch Subscribers.
Having been in Vegas a few months this summer, I decided to freshen up the merchandise offerings to subscribers upon my return. When I opened my dashboard, I discovered a little surprise about SE.
I’ve got some amazing news that’s going to take our streaming game to the next level. StreamElements (SE) has teamed up with FourthWall (FW), and this partnership is bringing some seriously cool features that we’re all going to love.
Stream Gifting
First up, let’s talk about stream gifting. Imagine being able to buy and send gifts directly during the stream to be won by other viewers. How awesome is that? This feature makes it super easy for fans to show their support in a really meaningful way. Whether it’s a piece of merch or something custom, it’s a fantastic way to build a stronger connection with the community. Check out more details here.
Twitch Tier Discounts
Now, here’s another exciting perk: Twitch tier discounts. StreamElements and FourthWall are offering tiered discount options for subscribers. This means your subscribers can get exclusive discounts on your merch, which is a great incentive for them to subscribe at higher tiers. It’s a win-win! Find out more.
Merchandise Gift Certificates
Gift certificates are here too! You can now offer gift certificates that your viewers can win and redeem for merchandise. This is perfect for those fans who want to support you but aren’t sure what to buy. Plus, it’s a great way for them to spread the word about your brand by gifting these certificates to friends and family. And guess what? You can also use these certificates to reward your moderators or for leaderboard prizes. How cool is that?
Instant Appreciation
See immediately who donated and won the gifted merchandise.
FW makes it easy to see who purchased the gifted item and the winner in real time! They even have a mobile app that allows the Broadcaster to immediately send thanks to purchaser/winner of the merchandise item!
Wide Merchandise Selections
And let’s not forget about the wide range of merchandise options. With FourthWall, you can offer everything from apparel and accessories to home goods and unique items. This means you can create a store that truly reflects your brand and gives your audience plenty of choices.
Global Shipping with Automated Fulfillment
Another fantastic feature is global shipping with automated fulfillment. FourthWall handles all the production, shipping, and customer service, so you can focus on what you do best: streaming. And the best part? Your fans from all over the world can buy your merch without worrying about shipping issues.
Streamer Branding Opportunities
Lastly, the branding opportunities are next level. You can design custom storefronts that match your brand perfectly, giving your merch store a professional and cohesive look. You can create Collections for a series of items to encourage viewers to get a full set of your offerings.
This helps with brand recognition and keeps your viewers coming back for more.
