Fliqio is a first of its kind, personalized, mobile video-on-demand service that is set to do for viewers of short video what services like LastFM, Pandora and Spotify did for music lovers. Fliqio has recently launched discounted pre-sales with savings of up to 68% on Kickstarter: bit.ly/Fliqiodiscounts
Fliqio’s slick user experience allows viewers to easily find and watch a wide variety of short video, from a professionally curated library of the best quality short form content, on one platform with their freemium service. Fliqio partners with top film and video curators from festivals, online magazines and websites to bring users the best in online video. The service will offer video from animation and kids content, interviews with inspiring individuals, cult sports and food shows, short films, webseries, documentaries, music videos and more. 60% of Fliqio’s subscription revenue goes back to its content contributors.
100 hours of video are uploaded every minute to Youtube alone with very little quality control to speak of, its little wonder that apathy sets in as users feel overwhelmed by choice and frustrated by the lack of quality control. Fliqio aims to change this by putting the user in control, allowing them to filter by duration, popularity, genre theme and tag; watch friends top rated videos, search and download to watch offline. As well as recommending content based on the users interaction with the app.
So far Fliqio has received over 6000 short films many of which have been at the world’s most prestigious festivals such as Cannes, Toronto, Sundance and Berlinale, many of these are not yet available online.
A projected 2 billion people will be watching video on their mobile devices by 2017 and the vast majority of them will be watching short form content. Consumer research by Accenture indicates that the majority of these consumers are willing to pay for the kind of guaranteed convenience and quality that Fliqio delivers with subscriptions being the payment model of choice.
Fliqio will launch in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland in early 2015. Discounted pre-sale subscriptions for up to 68% off are now available a Kickstarter: bit.ly/Fliqiodiscounts
