This study aims to evaluate the role of interactive communication in live streaming marketing in fostering consumer trust. Live streaming marketing is a type of digital communication that focuses on direct interaction between presenters and viewers through real-time features such as comments, questions, and live reactions. The method used in this study was qualitative, with an in-depth interview approach and observation of live streaming activities on e-commerce platforms. The findings of the study indicate that interactive communication conducted by presenters, including responding quickly, using convincing language, conveying product details clearly, and demonstrating a friendly and transparent attitude, plays a significant role in creating a sense of comfort and consumer trust. The interactive relationship formed during live streaming makes consumers feel cared for, appreciated, and personally involved. This encourages increased consumer confidence in the presenter's credibility and the quality of the products offered. Therefore, interactive communication in live streaming marketing functions not only as a promotional tool but also as a fundamental strategy in building long-term trusting relationships between brands and consumers.


Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi fungsi komunikasi yang interaktif dalam pemasaran live streaming dalam menumbuhkan kepercayaan konsumen. Pemasaran live streaming adalah salah satu jenis komunikasi digital yang berfokus pada interaksi langsung antara penyaji dan penonton melalui fitur waktu nyata seperti komentar, pertanyaan, dan reaksi langsung. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif, dengan pendekatan wawancara mendalam dan pengamatan aktivitas live streaming di platform e-commerce. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, komunikasi interaktif yang dilakukan oleh penyaji, termasuk menjawab dengan cepat, menggunakan bahasa yang meyakinkan, menyampaikan detail produk dengan jelas, serta menunjukkan sikap yang ramah dan transparan, sangat berperan dalam menciptakan rasa nyaman dan kepercayaan konsumen. Hubungan interaktif yang terbentuk selama live streaming membuat konsumen merasa diperhatikan, dihargai, dan terlibat secara pribadi. Hal ini mendorong peningkatan keyakinan konsumen terhadap kredibilitas penyaji dan mutu produk yang ditawarkan. Oleh karena itu, komunikasi interaktif dalam pemasaran live streaming bukan hanya berfungsi sebagai alat promosi, tetapi juga merupakan strategi fundamental dalam membangun hubungan kepercayaan jangka panjang antara merek dan konsumen.
