What is live events streaming?

A live streaming service allows your viewers to any event without being present in a particular place.  It allows your users to become more engaged with your product or service in real time and more of  a genuine manner than a pre recorded video.

This type of communication is getting more and more popular with a plethora of social media platforms to stream from… Facebook Live, Youtube Live, Vimeo Live, Instagram Live and Twitch to name some of the more popular streaming platforms.  Choosing the right platform streaming technology depends on your target audience.  And creating a professional high quality, multi camera, live broadcast, is no easy task.  But we’re here to take out all the guessing and handle those technical questions.

Importance of video for business

Video content is a powerful tool helping your potential client choose your services or products. The benefits of a live stream brings real life to your digital brand.  Polished advertisements on TV or social media have their time and place but so does live stream content. 

Statistics show that over 66% of internet users prefer to watch video content to learn more about products or services, rather than exploring website content or reading blog articles. Here we managed to discuss the biggest advantages of live streaming which may assist your business to make a final decision. 

Larger audience

When it comes to the internet – there are no restrictions and limits in terms of geographical location. It is possible to attract a much larger audience to your event by offering a live streaming option, because more people may be unable to attend physically, than from an alternative location such as their business, a local café, an airport whilst traveling or even from the comfort of their own home. 

By offering live-streaming options to your potential clients you also broaden your target audience. Most likely not everyone would be able to attend an opening event, meeting, sales pitch or a presentation of a new product. By letting them participate online you broaden your horizons and enable them to get familiar with your product or services and purchase it online or say yes to that sales pitch. We have seen an obvious spike in live streaming due to the COVID 19 pandemic, due to the tight restrictions and lock downs. This has also had a dominoes effect in business decision makers and organisations turning to an online stream approach for their clients, potential and staff alike.

Cost effective

It’s no secret that sometimes, to come up with a great commercial or a video campaign can come at a cost. Live streaming can be a much cheaper and more viable option (depending on your needs and vision, of course) and generate promising results. 

Potential clients watch your content on your terms

It’s probably one of the biggest advantages of live-streaming – clients watch your content exactly when you want them to do so. It means that you can engage with the customers who are loyal and who care about your brand, which also leads to even a stronger relationship. 

New opportunities to generate additional income

Organising a live stream event can open-up much more opportunities than you could imagine. Knowing your audience and offering sponsorship packages can generate some extra revenue for your company.

Also, don’t forget to consider charging your clients or potential clients a small fee in return for access a live stream in the future. The information that you presented might be important and can generate additional income even when the event is over.

Brand exposure

Every business knows that showing their company’s logo and repeating a slogan a couple of times may not automatically build an army of loyal customers. With live streaming tools you can easily educate your customers and/or potential customers about your brand, values and basically communicate any message you want. 

No limitation

Remember that when you organise an event with live-streaming possibilities there are no limitations in terms of how to expose your brand to your clients. You create your own content, and everything can be as you want – either personal or more professional, with more visual branding or more messaging in your speech – you are in control to choose.

Opportunity to interact with your customers

This communication tool is not only about communicating your message, but also about interacting with your customers and giving them the information that they want. Live Streaming can be a perfect way to showcase the culture of your company or to introduce your team. It could also be used to obtain the respective feedback that could lead to improving your business.
