If we think back, live video marketing started slowly. You can go Facebook Live. It’s tricky, it’s risky, you never know how it is going to be received, but one thing we do know – people watch it. Snapchat was an early form of live video marketing where you would capture a short video, add a caption and send it to a friend. You can do something similar on Twitter and you can tell an Instagram story.
But live videos, as part of your website, are brilliant. They take Digital Marketing to a whole new level. It can be on your website or as part of your social media campaign. Don’t discount it and don’t be scared of it. People, clients, want interaction. They want to see the immediate, the NOW. They want LIVE.
Think of Live Video marketing as a new canvas which you can use to get your latest ideas or product out there. And know that every week new live campaigns are happening.

And Elle Magazine unveiled a new jewellery line on Facebook Live, hosted by Live Instagram stylists.
It’s on television too. Shows may be interrupted (Power Rangers) to bring something live happening right now. It’s clever, it’s something for you to think about, it’s time to go LIVE VIDEO.
