Previously, we answered the question "should I be live streaming video for my business?" Spoiler alert: the answer is YES!
Live streaming video is becoming the latest marketing/communications tool adopted by businesses seeking a competitive edge with consumers. Companies now have an inexpensive and easy way to interact with potential customers in this real-time medium, allowing access to live events and creating feeds that include communications with employees that are dispersed across the globe.
Video already makes up 64% of internet traffic and is only continuing to grow, so now is the time to bring video to your digital strategy. Like the Periscope website says, “A picture may be worth a thousand words, but live video can take you someplace and show you around.”
Everyone agrees: 2016 is a hot year for live video feed. Companies across the country are adopting live streaming video as part of their annual brand management strategy. According to Cisco, by 2017, visual content and video marketing will account for 69 percent of all customer Internet traffic. With content marketing still one of the most important techniques you can use to build your business, the question is — how can live video reinforce and strengthen the content you’re sharing with consumers?

Further, they are personalized to the user, creating tailored online experiences that help increase customer loyalty — and sales.
Classic static advertising, while not totally dead, may be on life support through 2016 and into the future.
