It is important to know that there exists two types of Web TV : Internal and external.

An internal Web TV is entirely dedicated to a restricted public (your collaborators or your business partners), whereas an external Web TV is designed for a wider audience, such as your prospects or customers.

Broadcasting videos on an online video platform is a good tool to increase your company’s notoriety.

A Web TV enables companies to better their external communication, and to stand out when it comes to your rivals.

Imagine an online Web TV like a relational marketing tool. It will enable you to create a communication exchange with your prospects in an entertaining and attractive way.

Customers always put first a company that regularly creates original digital content, whereas a company that only designs a website without any interaction. In fact, the video is an attractive format to pass on information to your prospects. To give you an example, according to MaTvImmo, a visitor stays at least 88% more time on a site that suggests video (2). This is another reason to broadcast even more videos on your Web TV.

For instance, you can broadcast tutorial videos on your online video platform to enable your customers to get to know your new products, and so to promote them.

Internal Web TV : an efficient tool to better your corporate

A corporate video platform dedicated to a restricted audience, and so accessible through a system of authentication, it enables you to increase your learning strategy for your company. Your communication will be enhanced as well as the productivity of your employees.

Enhance internal communication in your company

An internal Web TV will enable you to strengthen teamwork cohesion. To give you an example, a private video hosting platform suggests you pool the entirety of your videos. It is a good way to gather your collaborators around your Web TV.

Specialized video platforms give you the opportunity to add comments, and “likes” on videos, such as on Videas’ platform. It is an ideal solution, so that your collaborators interact by submitting comments, and by reacting to the video they’ve liked the most.

Mobilize and make your teams worthy through video

Information is rapidly broadcasted through video.

Thus, video is an original communication strategy to inform your collaborators on precise information. On your online video channel, you have the opportunity to make your video more educational, and entertaining. It is especially dedicated to your collaborators.

What’s more, your employee’s emotions are important. To do so, a Web TV is only accessible for your collaborators, and it will enable you to create a belonging feeling in your company.
