Babylonstoren’s First Livestream Shopping Event is Scheduled for June 23, 2022 at 6 p.m. ET
Award-winning wine farm Babylonstoren leverages MARKET’s shoppable livestream capabilities to bring their luxury fine-living products to consumers’ homes.
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. and SALT LAKE CITY, June 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verb Technology Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: VERB) ("VERB" or the "Company"), the leader in interactive video-based sales-enablement applications, including shoppable livestream video, today announced a new partnership with South African wine farm Babylonstoren. This award-winning Cape Dutch farm boasts a farm hotel, heritage garden, vineyards, orchards, farm-to-table restaurants and winery.
The prestigious brand will begin hosting livestream shopping events on MARKET, VERB’s livestream shopping platform, on June 23, 2022 at 6 p.m. ET. The events will be livestreamed from Babylonstoren’s MARKET storefront at babylonstoren.market.live. Click here to RSVP.
Dating back to 1692 and hailed as one of the biggest and most beautiful wine farms in South Africa, Babylonstoren is celebrated globally for its fine food and wine, which evoke a sense of pleasure and wellbeing. Every aspect of Babylonstoren – including the contemporary Farm Hotel & Spa, the Farm Shop and restaurants – is informed by the ever-changing tapestry and botanical diversity of its heritage garden.
The brand’s farm-to-fork philosophy means serving food that is seasonal and reflects a back-to-the-Earth “pick, clean and serve” approach. Now, this world-class, authentic, tranquil experience can belong to all of us … all from the comfort of our own homes, as Babylonstoren's online shop brings the very best from this historic farm to doorsteps across the world.
From chocolates, preserves, olive oil, wine and carefully curated fine-living décor and dining products, each item is a labor of love. All the products have been nurtured by skilled hands and brought to life though the thoughtful selection of materials and ingredients, many of which are created on the farm itself.
“Partnering with VERB on their new MARKET livestream platform is a no-brainer,” said Christi Azurmendi, director of U.S. sales for Babylonstoren. “We’re passionate about bringing our authentic wine-farm experience to as many people as possible, and MARKET will allow us to do that. We look forward to engaging the senses of our audiences through beautiful presentations that bring about a sense of wonder and delight.”
“While many of us would love to someday experience the Babylonstoren beauty and magic on-site in South Africa, I know that isn’t possible for most people,” said Kate Eckman, VERB SVP of Programming and Talent Acquisition. “That’s what makes MARKET so incredible – it allows us all to discover and connect with people, brands, and products we might otherwise have never known about or couldn’t access. We’re giving people an opportunity to expand their horizons and have some fun along the way. Hosting an interactive Babylonstoren shop on MARKET offers viewers a luxurious vacation feeling without leaving their homes.”
