Business Benefits of Live Video Streaming

4月

2日

Today, businesses continue seeking innovative ways to connect with their audience. Increasingly, the answer lies in live video streaming. A staggering 53% of companies already broadcast live videos at least once a week, highlighting its growing popularity. Why? Because it delivers tangible benefits:

Increased Engagement: Encourage engagement from both sides through real-time interactions while fostering your online community.
Lead Generation: Showcase products, offer discounts, and encourage participation to increase leads.
Adaptability: Pivot content based on audience feedback to deliver more effective content.
Audience Insights: Optimize content and improve customer service by tracking analytics and learning more about customers’ pain points.
Streamlined Content Creation: Test different content formats with flexibility.
Reusable Content: Repurpose live streams for future use.

Going live online opens the door for real-time feedback, letting users comment, share, like, and ask questions. Simultaneously, we can answer questions instantly while building trust and a sense of connection, encouraging users to return for more.

How to Live Stream Effectively

Live streams are inherently raw and honest, meaning they’re not always polished. The good thing is that that’s what audiences resonate with, so even though things may not go according to plan, customers crave authenticity. With that being said, you’ll still want to have a clear setup and goal in mind to keep things on track. Some other ways to live stream effectively include:

Keep Content Clear: Regularly reiterate the topic and use watermarks, logos, and text to clarify what’s happening for viewers entering midway through the stream.
Optimize your Setup: Ensure you have clear audio and adequate lighting by conducting a sound check before going live.
Engage Actively: Welcome new viewers, respond to comments, ask questions, and answer questions to foster your online community.
Promote your Stream: Build anticipation by announcing on social media with a countdown.

Business Applications of Live Streaming

Beyond social media, live streaming offers valuable applications for businesses, especially those looking for more engagement online. Some business applications of live video streaming include:

Webinars
Onboarding
Customer support
Product demos
Largescale events and virtual conferences

Live video streaming isn’t just a trend; it can be a powerful tool for businesses to connect and engage with their audience while growing their online community. By embracing its potential, build stronger relationships with your audience, drive revenue, and stay ahead of the competition.

What’s New Newsletter Vol. 265 “PSPINC’s Localization Expertise”

3月

28日

Reaching a global audience today is crucial for success due to how interconnected the world is today. To do this, businesses need to adapt content and products to different languages and cultures in a process called localization. And when it comes to localization, experience matters. For over three decades, PSPINC has been at the forefront of localization. Originally known as the “Double Byte Specialists”, we began our localization journey in the 90s by localizing and licensing software between the U.S. and Japan. This history has equipped us with unparalleled expertise in bridging the language and cultural gaps between these two major markets.

At PSPINC, we know localization is more than just simply translating from one language to another: it includes consultation, documentation, and development of custom multilingual software to ensure your message resonates with your target audience. Whether you need to localize pre-existing software or content or build something brand new, we have the skills and experience to deliver exceptional results. So, unlock the power of localization and take your business global and contact PSPINC today.

How Sound Shapes Consumer Perception

3月

19日

Out of all the commercials you’ve ever seen, which one do you remember the best? Odds are, everyone will have a different answer because of their cultural and demographic differences. But chances are, there's a signature sound, jingle, or song you associate with it. That's because music is a universal language, making commercials with catchy jingles or even voice-overs that much more memorable. When marketers expertly pair audio with their ads, they create a positive association with a sound and make brands instantly recognizable. A strategy that uses sound to establish a brand’s unique identity is known as sonic branding and involves creating a distinct audio signature through specific sound effects, jingles, and/or voiceovers for a brand.

How Brands Can Leverage Audio

Brains can process sound faster than any other sense while simultaneously being able to elicit an emotional response without consumers even being aware it’s happening. While there have been multiple studies done on how sound and music affect our brain and memory recall, choosing music for a marketing campaign typically relies more on intuition than science.

The characteristics of music, like the pitch, tempo, rhythm, contour, and tonality, are vital in shaping a customer’s perception of a brand and its products. Some basics you should remember include:

High-Pitched Melodies: Associated with excitement and energy
Low-Pitched Melodies: Associated with a sense of gravitas, potentially making products seem larger or more significant
Fast-Paced Music: Evokes feelings of cheerfulness and vitality
Firm Rhythms: Influences taste perceptions by heightening certain flavor sensitivities, making food seem saltier or sourer

How to Implement Sonic Branding Strategies

Before looking into different sounds and songs for your campaign, it’s important to determine your brand’s values and personality. Your brand values should guide and dictate the audio you choose for your campaign to ensure the sounds you choose align with your brand image. Once you establish your sonic identity, you should use that audio consistently across all touchpoints, from social media videos to TV and radio commercials. The more people hear it, the stronger the association between the sound and the brand becomes in consumers’ minds.

However, investing in sound isn’t always easy or cost-efficient. That’s where Click It Audio can help! Just sign up for Click It Audio for free and upload your audio to add sound to the tangible aspects of your marketing campaign via an audio QR code, like product usage instructions, behind-the-scenes stories of a product’s creation, magazine ads, and more. If you're looking for more marketing help, we also have marketing packages designed to fit businesses at every stage. You can even get up to $150 of free ad credit when signing up with either our Grow or Thrive plan for a limited time, so get this deal while you still can!

Consumers today have more information at their fingertips than ever before, thanks to the internet. So, with so much data and so many websites online today, it’s imperative that small businesses stand out in any way they can to break through the noise. That’s where a custom website can help.

As an integral aspect of a business’s brand, a custom website is a valuable investment that can go a long way in helping a small business attract more customers, build more credibility, and achieve long-term growth.
