Vienna, December 14, 2022 – Last night (Tuesday, December 13), the Nespresso Atelier on Kärntner Strasse 9 was transformed into the setting for a brand-new kind of online event — a live shopping show offering customers an immersive and emotional experience.
Coffee Bard Lisa-Marie Bauer and Coffee Ambassador Michael Ilsanker presented a lively session on how to prepare coffee with milk, introduced their favorite coffee varieties and machines, and offered practical tips throughout the show. Over the course of the 30-minute livestream, viewers were treated to exclusive Nespresso offers, a valuable voucher, and real-time Q&A with the Nespresso team via live chat — creating a new kind of shopping experience that redefines retail engagement. The creative concept and technical execution of the event were delivered by Digitale Mediensysteme GmbH (DMS), a team of retail technology experts. “We saw how perfectly the emotional connection customers have with coffee aligns with this format,” said Oliver Nitz, Chief Marketing Officer at DMS, after the successful premiere. “The holiday season helped boost engagement, but in general, the potential for live shopping in retail is huge — from product showcases and direct sales to instant customer feedback and integrated advertising.”
“Creating meaningful customer experiences is a core part of our DNA at Nespresso. With Nespresso Live, we’ve found a way to unite customer experience, consumer engagement, and sales — all while staying authentic and close to our audience. Our flagship Atelier boutique in Vienna was the perfect location to host this live shopping experience. We were able to bring the in-store atmosphere directly to viewers at home — fully aligned with our omnichannel approach.””
Klaus Slamanig, B2C Commercial Director at Nespresso.
Live shopping shifts the focus from shop design to set design — creating customer experiences that feel as real and emotionally engaging as in-store. Real people present real products in live, interactive settings.
DMS supports this shift with starter workshops, mobile studio setups, a fully equipped rental studio, and interactive software tools, backed by an extensive network of professional service providers. Based in Vienna, the company brought the trend of live shopping to Austria last year and has already delivered implementations for several major brands.
