Intro

YoloLiv Strategic Summit was held on July 15th, 2022 and this year’s theme was “Shape The Future of Live Video”. At this year’s Summit, Frank Zhu (Head of YoloLiv), Emily Xiong (Head of Sales) and Esther Zong (Head of Marketing) shared a lot of insider information about YoloLiv Technology from sales, product and marketing perspectives! How we build new products, and what is our philosophy for customer experience. You’ll also have a sneak peak at some of our software roadmap in the next few months!

Watch the full event below:

Current State of YoloBox 

YoloBox is now sold in over 200 different countries, including top economies and major cities. The YoloBox line is the leading all-in-one solution with its all self-contained live production system in the pro video world. That is to say, it doesn’t require anything external for multi-cameras, graphic overlays, multi-views and local videos.

Compared with other alternative solutions, YoloBox stands out for its rich features and amazing versatility. Currently, we have three models in our clean, focused and successful YoloBox product line with different numbers of HDMI inputs and different pricing, offering enough options for customers of all kinds. 

About YoloMax 

YoloMax is a new product aiming to offer industries first risk-free solution to live stream to vertical platforms like Instagram and Tiktok with multi-cameras and graphic overlays, targeting an entirely different customer group. In addition, we may actually launch a smaller version of YoloMax later this year. Though it’s domestically proven to be perfect and popular, we are still very cautious about adding a new product line to ensure the best customer experience. 

How YoloLiv Shapes the Future of Live Video

Based on our current market leadership, how can we really shape the future live video? The following three strategic directions are our key answers. To start with, we will shift from prosumer to consumer. Nowadays, video or live streaming almost describes who we are, but people tend to think pro-video has to be massive and expensive for professionals. For YoloLiv, we are committed to making live streaming increasingly accessible and consumer-friendly. The past three years have witnessed growing customer verticals like creators IRL, live gaming and live selling. 

Secondly, from great to excellent. We have thousands of customers creating live streaming daily and heavily and we are never happy or satisfied when even one single customer has a poor experience great is not enough. We’ll keep continuously crafting our product towards excellence and perfection, we’ll still invest more than half of our engineering resources in perfecting our existing products rather than only focusing on the new products.

Last but not least, from YoloBox to YoloCast. YoloCast is our own cloud platform with various eye-catching features combining simplicity, reliability and scalability.  You may wonder where this continuous product innovation comes from, the answer is quite simple two words: customer obsession, which we believe is the underlying factor.

Sales Channel Globally

YoloLiv team started to advance into the overseas market at the end of 2019. In the past three years, we have covered more than 170 countries and 300 top-tier channel partners globally. So it means now in almost every corner of the world, you will be able to experience and buy locally for the YoloLiv products and enjoy quality local service with a professional local team.

We have carefully selected our partners strictly and only cooperated with those top-tier players. That’s why we can be extremely honored to tell you that till now YoloLiv has not only covered almost all the top audio video channel partners globally but most of those big camera stores. If you are in this industry, you will know how much effort the YoloLiv team has put into it. That’s why we can achieve a 300 percent yearly gross rate consistent from 2019 to 2021.

Another important number we would like to share with you is that YoloLiv products have served more than 1M+ live streaming events all over the world. At present, more than 3000 live streaming events are happening through YoloLiv products every single day. So many meaningful moments are broadcast to the whole world through YoloLiv products every single day. You can see the YoloLiv appearance not only online, including the homepage banners on those top AV websites, the top news media websites as well as their social media posts daily, but also offline from workshops or the biggest local treasure from the US, Japan, Thailand, Brazil, Chile, Italy, Nordic and South Africa, etc.

Why We Work with Local Channels

From the customer’s perspective, the reason why we are so obsessed with those truly valuable partners is that they have their own offline showroom which can allow our dear customers to have hands-on experience. In addition, local partners can help us together to provide a quick and local service and support for our dear customers.

From the YoloLiv branding side, local partners can help us to be accessible to more people locally. Top channel partners have a big influence locally in their regions, covering all those people who are really interested in AV products.  We can be a great,  perfect, and professional win-win combination bringing good technology to everyone in the world so as to make Pro-AV accessible.

Deliver Industry’s Best Customer Experience

As you may know, we pride ourselves on offering a good customer experience. We act on it and have been looking to continue to improve by investing and supporting,  reducing response time, and offering multiple ways for customers to give feedback in order to deliver the best customer experience. This is not just a slogan but a mission we have been sticking to .

We have the most supportive and engaging Facebook group in the industry. Our customs actively share the live streaming setup for different verticals including sports, church, wedding, education, music, entertainment, news,  conference, corporate and government events and many more. The community opens a window for us to get ideas or inspirations for product improvement to get industry insights to share and to support everyone to succeed from live streaming.

“Treat custom as our friends, be genuine, be helpful and be trustworthy”. This is our guiding rule when dealing with our dear customers who contribute a lot to make us what we are by constantly sharing the live streaming experience. We are grateful for their trust and support.  Besides, YoloLiv has the most diligent and relentless engineering team who work for extra hours to craft new features and make our product such a huge hit. 

Our philosophy, “Play the long-term game with long-term people” motivates all of us at YoloLiv to make progress, create, and achieve more. What we are seeking and doing right now is a long-term game and we are happy to have my dear colleagues and my dear friends with us on this journey.
