It\u2019s one of the most genuine ways to connect with an audience and allows for levels of personalization that the marketing industry has never seen,'\u009d<\/em> writes serial entrepreneur <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/live-streaming-importance-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Neil Patel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Grab your cameras and start mapping out a strategy. Here are five ways to capture your audience\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/domains\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18322\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Domains.png\" alt=\"register domain name\" width=\"470\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Domains.png 470w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Domains-300x38.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>1. Create Anticipation<\/h2>\n<p>Marketing involves spreading your brand\u2019s message. Whether it\u2019s posting a blog post or sending a press release, the goal is to share information with your consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, we\u2019ve come accustomed to certain marketing messages, like a furniture store\u2019s television commercial announcing a holiday sale. Customers also can expect emails about an online company\u2019s Cyber Monday special.<\/p>\n<p>These strategies <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmo.com\/features\/articles\/2016\/2\/9\/why-cultivating-strategic-anticipation-is-vital-for-future-business-success.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">heighten consumers\u2019 anticipation<\/a> for something they desire. They\u2019ll mark the date and wait anxiously for your latest product.<\/p>\n<p>Social live streaming also can bolster anticipation amongst your consumers. The live aspect makes your audience an integral part of a product release, celebrity endorsement, or even an IPO announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Check out Chevrolet\u2019s Facebook live stream on news about its all-electric 2017 Bolt EV. It\u2019s a chance for avid fans to witness the new technology.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fchevrolet%2Fvideos%2F10153831975917296%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=476\" width=\"476\" height=\"476\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>Work with your team to harness the anticipation by leading followers to your site. Whatever you\u2019re announcing, it\u2019s crucial to represent it on your page. If not, you may risk losing people\u2019s interest quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Tap into consumers\u2019 curiosity by dropping clues about the news throughout the live stream. Then, lead them to the big reveal on your website. You\u2019ll increase their enthusiasm and boost traffic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Build a Community<\/h2>\n<p>Social live streaming gathers people together for a common purpose. From a preview of a new product or an inside look at the work culture, live streaming affords your brand an opportunity to build a viable community.<\/p>\n<p>Interaction is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/how-to-live-stream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">critical ingredients of live streaming<\/a>. People want to be part of the conversation. Your brand can satisfy that sense of belonging and build a real connection.<\/p>\n<p><em>'Being live is all about LIVE! Interact with your audience in-the-moment, whether it\u2019s handing out promos on the street, running a quick Q&amp;A session, or just chatting. There\u2019s always the possibility that something unplanned or spontaneous will happen, that\u2019s part of the fun of live social,'\u009d<\/em> states <a href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/academy\/social-media-live-streaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christian Brink<\/a>, contributor at the AddThis Academy.<\/p>\n<p>After garnering people\u2019s attention, then your brand can guide folks to your website. Be deliberate in your call to action, and state it multiple times throughout the broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>You can entice consumers with a free digital gift, or you can encourage them to sign up for your newsletter to receive updates about upcoming live streams.<\/p>\n<p>A well-organized community demands trustworthiness. Therefore, stay away from deceiving or manipulating your audience. If you make a promise, it\u2019s up to your team to deliver it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Celebrate Your Fans<\/h2>\n<p>Gratitude speaks volumes. It shows people you value their time and support. So it makes sense to devote some effort into expressing your admiration.<\/p>\n<p>For most brands, appreciation comes as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/best-practices-thank-you-pages\/\">thank you email<\/a> or a limited-time coupon. These ideas work, but you can do better.<\/p>\n<p>A social live stream is an opportunity to publicly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpscout.net\/25-ways-to-thank-your-customers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">acknowledge your followers<\/a>. You can give them shoutouts and spend time answering their burning questions.<\/p>\n<p>You also can do something tailored to your brand. For instance, if you sell T-shirts, you can &nbsp;explain to your fanatics how the design came to life, and you can get followers to submit their own designs for a future brand collection.<\/p>\n<p>Maybelline hosted a makeup tutorial on Facebook. The live stream also included a giveaway to its fans. The live session was both exciting and educational.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmaybelline%2Fvideos%2F10155216778090748%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=267\" width=\"267\" height=\"476\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>Your team can keep the celebration going by directing fans to a particular site. Get them to sign up for your rewards program or encourage them to refer a friend for 15% off their next purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Showing a little appreciation goes a long way. You\u2019ll never go wrong celebrating your fans online.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4. Spotlight Trends<\/h2>\n<p>Today\u2019s news cycle runs 24\/7. People get swamped with celebrity sightings, local gatherings, and everything they don\u2019t care about. With so much noise, it\u2019s easy for your consumers to tune out. <i>Who wouldn\u2019t? <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Your brand can break the mold. You can be the news hub for consumers to learn about trends that actually matter to them. There\u2019s an opportunity gap to turn disinterested viewers into active listeners with your social live stream.<\/p>\n<p>Start by doing your homework. That process involves researching what matters to your core audience. Learn about their desires, goals, and pain points. You want to know what trends will help them live better lives.<\/p>\n<p>When it\u2019s time to hit play, talk about topics that directly concern your audience. Don\u2019t give fluff or consumers will immediately leave.<\/p>\n<p><em>'[R]emember that people have busy lives and are impatient. Capture their attention quickly by delving straight into the action. Unless you generate interest in the first few seconds, people will be inclined to click away for something more interesting,'\u009d<\/em> says <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/digital\/sherry-gray-guest-post-livestreaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sherry Gray<\/a>, a freelance content writer.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve satisfied viewers with what they want, then you can pitch your site or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/5-ways-create-perfect-landing-page-website\/\">specific landing page<\/a>. An easy transition from the trend to the relevant page will intrigue your consumers and earn you more traffic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5. Promote Events<\/h2>\n<p>Social media has opened the doors to the world. Back in the day, you only experienced what happened in your town, and you only learned about the latest events through the six o\u2019clock news.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, things have changed. You now can witness the recent happenings with the help of your smart device and social media channels. Therefore, you\u2019re never left out of the fun!<\/p>\n<p>As a brand, it\u2019s your responsibility to bring that excitement to your consumers. Not everyone will be able to attend your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialtables.com\/blog\/event-planning\/product-launch-event-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">product launch party.<\/a> But you can make people feel a part of the action.<\/p>\n<p>The answer is to live stream your next event. Engage consumers with exclusive content that is worth sharing with their friends.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example from Red Bull. The brand crashed the Ice Marseille and live streamed the event via Periscope. The footage contained the making of the ice track and a first-hand view from the athletes\u2019 perspective, along with commentary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Watch <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CrashedIce?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CrashedIce<\/a> LIVE from Marseille! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jG64LlJLJE\">https:\/\/t.co\/jG64LlJLJE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>- Red Bull (@redbull) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/redbull\/status\/964950850979348480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 17, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Sending your viewers directly to your site isn\u2019t always the best option. You can still keep them engaged by asking them to follow you on Twitter or your fan page. That way, your audience doesn\u2019t feel pressured to buy from your brand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Go Live. Drive Traffic.<\/h2>\n<p>Social live stream is here to stay. Open your business to new opportunities by taking advantage of it.<\/p>\n<p>You can create anticipation before a product launch. Develop a community of brand ambassadors with lots of fan interaction. Or promote events that showcase your brand\u2019s uniqueness.<\/p>\n<p>Be social. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/beginners-guide-to-facebook-live\/\">Go live.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Businesses can embrace social live stream while driving traffic to their sites.
