Livestream to Boost Your Marketing 

1. Stream Live Events

Give your customers a peak behind the scenes on how you do things. You can show them a product launch event, a tour around your office, or even your staff members! It's a great tool to promote and improve customer engagement in real-time. They'll also be able to participate in the event by commenting and asking you questions.

Facebook Live has been the most successful with their livestream feature. Here's an example of how Starbucks leveraged Facebook Live to encourage voter registration.

2. Teach Courses and Seminar Trainings

People are always eager to learn something new. However, people don't always have easy access to courses, trainings and seminars wherever they may be. By implementing training seminars and courses using live stream is a smart way to engage an audience and include them in the learning.

Here's an example of a livestream training. Epic Games put together this walkthrough training video of their game for players. 

3. Make an Announcement

Do you have some important news to share with your audience? Using livestream to make a big announcement is a great option. It can help viewers feel as if the presenter is speaking directly to them.

4. Interview an Expert

Experts and thought leaders offer interesting and insightful perspectives that people want to hear. Interview a marketing expert, for example, to discuss trending topics of the marketing industry and other experiences.
