Leverage the Growing Popularity of Live Streaming on Social Media Platforms

Live streaming on social media platforms is certainly nothing new, but it's growing in popularity. Many small businesses have been slow to embrace the emerging trend, but consumers love it. Not only does live stream video foster more engagement, viewers tend to stay with live stream video longer than on-demand video.

According to a survey conducted by Animoto, 32% of consumers check out a company's social media presence before visiting their website, and 73% have been impacted by a company's social media presence when making a buying decision. By live streaming great content on your social media pages, you're putting your business in front of more potential leads and far ahead of the competition.

Use Live 1-on-1 Video in Nurturing Leads and Customers

With the ease of shooting video with smartphones and other mobile devices, sending personalized video messages to leads and customers has become a thing of the present. This 1-on-1 video approach can be used to follow-up on an inquiry, offer how-to instruction, provide support, or just to say thank you for your business.

Don't Forget SEO for Your Videos

SEO isn't new, but AI technology and closed captions make it possible to transcribe what is said in the audio track of a video and make it searchable. This means it’s a good idea to apply SEO principles to your video scripts just like you would for old-fashioned textual content.

The key to effective marketing is doing what works. The key to cutting-edge marketing is blending some trend-inspired ideas into your overall marketing strategy. Check out some of our other recent blogs about videos for more tips on using videos in your small business marketing efforts:

Igniting Business

Igniting Business has established itself as a comprehensive resource for small businesses looking to succeed and grow to the next level. We focus exclusively on small businesses because we believe that small companies are often overlooked for web design, SEO, and marketing services. Many competitors in our industry primarily pursue big contracts with large companies. If these competitors do work with small businesses as well, they provide the small business owner with inferior customer service, lack of necessary attention, and unattainable pricing structures. Yet, small businesses are often unable to maintain their own internal comprehensive marketing, web, and SEO departments, which are necessary for growth.

Igniting Business fulfills this need by providing powerful small business solutions at affordable rates. Our team of web design, SEO, and marketing specialists are here to make your job easier and help your small business succeed. We encourage you to contact us to learn more or to set up a free consultation.
