Firstly you will want to know the secret to attracting viewers to your video

You must have an invitation list to members of your newsletter, a customer list or Facebook and Twitter fans. You can announce the up and coming event some time before it actually takes place. Build-up excitement before the event goes live prior to the day. Live streaming promotions are suitable for banks, fashion retailers, supermarkets, clothing stores, hotels, and sports outlets.

How video streaming reduces your retail marketing costs

Design store for sales - A full day shooting a live stream from your store only costs you very little per day. The larger the size of your list of potential customers you have the less it costs per viewer. Also run your live stream show in-store using monitors placed at strategic locations in your windows and immediately outside to attract attention. Branches around the country thousands of kilometers away can also connect to the stream.

Think of it as your own TV station with live mobile advertising you can also use large scale digital screens. If you are a single store owner or with branches all over the country this direct method of promotion due to its immediacy powerful full sound and motion novelty value will ensure you get feet in the door and of every branch in the country at the same time!

Don't be content with what you have done before, imagine what could be!
