Is your current website feeling dated and not providing the interactive tools that are required to grow an online audience in today’s fast-paced, technologically-driven economy? If so, you are likely trying to think of ways that you can improve your website and also grow your brand online.
As high speed Internet access has become common throughout the US and beyond, the doors have opened that allow website owners to create websites that are truly interactive, as opposed to just static HTML pages that were a bore for viewers. Today, thanks to the huge popularity of streaming video, website owners can easily create sites that have embedded videos covering everything under the sun.
Choosing The Right Provider For Your Live Streaming Website
You’ve likely already decided that you need to step your content creation up a notch by adding streaming video to your website, but you may not know exactly how. Thankfully there are a number of providers that offer turnkey options that allow you to be up and running with your own live streaming website in a matter of minutes. While there may be a large number of providers that claim to easily host your content, you must be careful to choose a provider that is not merely providing lip service when it comes to delivering a robust video streaming platform.
TikiLIVE Offers Robust Infrastructure to Handle Your Streaming Needs
While some free video hosting sites may be fine if you have just a few videos to share, if you are looking to grow your audience you need a partner with plenty of experience in live streaming services. TikiLIVE offers an entire suite of services that allow your videos to be seen across a myriad of devices, all without the common buffering issues that have become the norm on many free streaming sites.
Take note of the following features, which set TikiLIVE apart from the competition when it comes to reliability:
- Robust Content Delivery Network – TikiLIVE features a content delivery network with servers strategically placed around the world to better deliver content to our users. This allows your content to always be served in the most efficient way – even if you receive huge spikes in traffic.
- Mobile Support – With more users accessing the Internet from their mobile phones and tablets each day, it is incredibly important that your content be accessible across all devices. Out of the box, TikiLIVE supports access from all types of smartphones as well as tablets. With full HTML5 support, your users will be able to enjoy your content on any type of device that they may have.
- IPTV Options – While more and more people are accessing video content online, there is still a large contingent of people who prefer to access video content through their TVs at home. TikiLIVE understands this need and fully interfaces with the popular IPTV device from Roku as well as our own brand of set top boxes, which are available for white labeling.
- WordPress Integration – With TikiLIVE, your live streaming website is already embedded into your account. Simply access your WordPress site from within your TikiLIVE control panel and be publishing videos to your site in a matter of minutes. WordPress is an extremely easy to use CMS (content management system) that will allow you to quickly and easily distribute your content to your loyal website visitors.
- Social Media Integration – When you publish videos, are you actively pushing them on your social media accounts? Many businesses struggle with consistency, which is why we offer features that allow you to completely automate this process. As soon as you publish a new video to your channel, you can instantly update your social media profiles to draw additional traffic to your site. Social media is a great place where people are willing to click and watch videos – especially if they align with a person’s interests.
How Should You Use Your Live Streaming Website?
So you now have seen the many features of TikiLIVE and how it can easily host all of your video content, but you still may have questions as to what type of video content you should host on your website. Thankfully we’ve compiled a short list of common ways that our customers have used videos to add interactivity to their websites while building and enhancing their brand at the same time.
- Customer Testimonials – If you are looking for a great advertising vehicle for your website, never overlook the power of testimonials. A video of a current customer who is in love with your products or services can work wonders online. People want to trust who they do business with and videos are a great way to build that trust with potential customers.
- Facility Tours – Another way to show potential customers that you run a legitimate business is by showing tours of your facility on your website. Many of us forget how impressive our facilities really are until we get behind a camera and film how things work behind the scenes.
- Product Demonstrations – Are any of your products hard to explain with only words? If so, a video can be your company’s best friend. Have one or two of your employees actually demonstrate your products to show potential customers how they are used. This can go a long way in terms of showing your website visitors how useful your products can be.
- Staff Presentations – Online videos do not just have to be for your customers. You can also use videos to present new ideas and even conduct training sessions for your employees online. Think about all of the expenses that you can save by providing training and staff presentations online. This is especially true for businesses with offices in multiple locations across the country or even the world.
