Why Your Product Needs Facebook Live

Live video rose to popularity in the 1980’s with the invention of QVC. 30 years later, there is a new live video player in town and it’s ready to promote products all across its platforms. Facebook Live has been around for a year and a half and it has shown its value to thousands of brands around the world.

Is Facebook Live the new QVC?

QVC has already adapted early to the Facebook Live platform, utilizing Facebook to sell their products digitally. 30 years ago, it was rare for an inventor to have the ability to sell his or her products on QVC. Now, everyone has the ability to stand on stage with Facebook Live. Inventors and companies from all over the world have the capability to digitally share their products on the web.

Preferred Algorithm

Facebook has a specific algorithm for what shows up in your newsfeed. Facebook is trying to overtake the digital video giant YouTube, therefore Facebook is prioritizing video and specifically live feed for newsfeeds. This means, if you broadcast on Facebook Live, you have a higher chance of someone seeing your content vs. a post with a photo.

Clear ROI

In addition to converting sales, Facebook Live has the ability to tell marketers exactly where their digital dollars are going. Facebook insights have the ability to tell you exactly how many views there were on your video, the demographics of those views, and which views converted to a click.

Small Businesses Click to Online Video

While big businesses have invested in video for decades, small and medium sized businesses are starting to realize the true value of video marketing. With the advent of social media giants like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, and Periscope, it’s clear that online video is an integral part of any successful marketing strategy.

As millennials age into a prized financial demographic, small businesses are integrating video into their marketing campaigns. While video campaigns used to involve Hollywood stars and big budgets, now, small businesses can take advantage of the video generation without the traditional high budgets of their big business counterparts. A mom & pop shop can now create video at a much lower cost than 10 years ago.

Video Moves to the Small Screen

20 years ago, companies that created videos for marketing purposes traditionally lived on television. With television came big media budgets that blocked out many small and medium sized businesses. In 2017, viewers are consuming the majority of their content on their computers or their smartphones. For the marketer, the cost to entry to market on web is significantly lower than television. Plus, according to Marketing Land “YouTube reaches more adults 18+ during prime time than any cable network does.”

In 2016, Mark Zuckerberg told Buzzfeed,

“We’re entering this new golden age of video … I wouldn’t be surprised if you fast-forward five years and most of the content that people see on Facebook and are sharing on a day-to-day basis is video.”

Online Video: Social Media is the New Commercial

In 2017, people are turning off their TV’s and consuming the majority of media on their phones and computers. While traditional television advertising is changing, online video offers advertisers a whole new way to reach potential customers. One of the largest platforms for advertisers to market themselves is on social media.

Social Media

According to the Cambridge Network, “social media platforms are the perfect place to showcase pre rolls and teasers to create buzz, start a conversation about your brand.” With individuals consuming nearly two hours a day on social media (Cambridge Network), there is a huge opportunity for brands to appear in that large window. Pre-roll on YouTube videos (the short advertisement before the YouTube video) or sponsorships in influencer marketing campaigns are the way to go for commercials in 2017.

“Share-worthy”

Viewers are no longer passively consuming commercials like traditional television. With social media and online video, audiences are asked to like, comment, and share content that they deem worthy. For the scrolling generation, this means that brands need to stand out with an eye-catching cover photo and captivating first few seconds. It is easier than ever to click away from an advertisement so make sure that your videos are share-worthy.

Testimonials

The advertising world has long used testimonials to boost reputability of a product and that is more important than ever in 2017. With websites like YouTube, Google Reviews, AirBnb, and Yelp, these video testimonials are building first person brand trust amongst consumers.
