If you are a vendor of goods that are routinely sold through online stores you may be an especially good candidate for video streaming.

You may use a phone conferencing system where multiple clients can converse with you about a new product. These types of services continue to be useful. However, a new generation of savvy vendors are finding a greater value in video streaming webinars.

Imagine a growing company with several hundred vendors or affiliates. This company has several new products they are ready to make available, but short of sending a sample to every current vendor on their list they opt to use a webinar to debut the new products.

They capitalize on the buzz by creating timely press releases and information on how the vendor can take advantage of the webinar. On a set date and time men and women gather in front of their computer screen to see the debut of the products.

As part of the video streaming webinar the company provides practical demonstrations of the product and benefits are fully reviewed. Explanations are provided as to why this product is superior to other similar products on the market. In the end the vendor is asked to register their attendance. By doing so they will receive a thank you gift.

This alerts the vendor as to the effectiveness of the webinar and allows them to make note of the most responsive affiliates.

In this case the vendor may be more inclined to promote a product than a website, but video streaming is used as a means of solidly marketing their product.

That same webinar can be archived for any vendor that could not attend when the video stream was being sent live.

You can also make the webinar an interactive experience by allowing emails to be sent live during the webinar from affiliates. If you have a slightly more sophisticated setup you could take landline, cell or VoIP phone calls from valued affiliates.

In this scenario you can answer a multitude of questions that will result in fewer questions following the webinar. This gives the webinar a much more comprehensive coverage on the product and saves you time following the webinar because the majority of the questions will already be answered.

The use of video streaming is a growing phenomenon with so many different positive applications. Video streaming provides opportunities for individuals to share footage of their families with other family members. Music and entertainment video streams can be shared. Television shows can be downloaded and best all, business can be done effectively through the use of video streaming technology.
