Facebook Live is a good feature to use when it comes to reaching out to your audience. It allows you to build a better and closer relationship between you and potential customers.

- Information
Facebook Live is also a good feature to use in terms of gathering useful information for yourself and learning to redirect your marketing efforts in the right direction. Gauge the feedback and reviews your participants give to you and determine which areas you can improve in. Who knows, you may be surprised by the number of useful suggestions you can stand to gain from your users. After all, in order to fully understand if your products and services are meeting the needs of your target audience, what better way to get immediate answers?
- Priority
As Facebook Live is a fairly new feature, Facebook is strengthening it’s popularity by prioritising it over other methods of advertising and promoting it so you stand a higher chance in reaching out to more people if you hop on the metaphorical bandwagon and start livestreaming. Facebook actively helps streaming pages increase their overall reach by dramatic amounts by placing them on newsfeed pages regardless of the size of their following, meaning to say that you can dramatically increase your reach to your target audience.
- Production
Livestreaming decreases the amount of time and cost of overall production. All you need is somewhere with good audio, a laptop camera at the very least and you will be able to livestream. You don’t have to plan for design work, or spend money on advertising and the like since it’s a one-shot type of livestream video format so it requires minimal amount of set up. Once the livestreaming is over, you will still have a video and can make it available on an archived file!
- Market
You can make use of this opportunity to test and market services or products. For example, tutorials on how to use certain products, an impromptu small training lesson on how to use softwares, announcing of special offers only for those who have attended your livestream, and more! There’s so much you can do to generate interest during livestreams!
