Step 5 – PromotionPromotion or lack of promotion can make or break the success of your webinar.


Use Inbound and Outbound Channels

• Make it easy to learn more about the details of the webinar.

• Make sure the path from receipt of the invitation or webinar promotion message to registration is easy, painless and intuitive.

• The webinar message must be focused on the pain or passion of the people in your target audience. [not your product or company]


What is Their Problem?

• Pain

• Passion


Work Your House List

• Your best response will come from the contacts already in your house list.

• Send an email invitation 2 to 3 weeks prior to the live broadcast.

• Send additional emails as needed – to everyone who did not open the first email.

• Automate the process as much as possible.


Other Outbound Promotions

• Press release

• Social media posts

• Print and digital ads in target publications where your target audience reads

• Tell your distributors, affiliates, partners, etc.

• Use the sales team – send an email from the sales person if possible


Use Inbound Channels

• Post on the front page of your web site

• Use PPC and SEO

• Social media

• Landing page should tell a quick story

• Topic

• Speakers

• WIIFM (what’s in it for the person if they register)


Step 6 – Live Broadcast TipsAbove all, don’t forget to record the live broadcast!


Use 2 or More Speakers

• Two voices and personalities are more interesting

• Could be one expert and one moderator

• Practice, practice and practice


Use the Interactive Features

• Surveys, polls, chat, quizzes, etc.

• Be unconventional

• Mix up the Question/Answer sessions

• Avoid opening up live phone lines

• Be wary of live video feed


Other tips – practice!

• Send 2 or 3 email reminders

• Expect around 30% of registrants to attend

• Practice

• Practice

• Practice


Step 7 – Post WebinarThe gold is mined in the post webinar activities.


Ignore the No-shows at High Risk

• Follow up with attendees

• Follow up with no-shows

• Send the follow up email with recording and slides as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours after the live event.


Continue to Engage

• Agree on post webinar action with Sales and Marketing

• Email follow up is a MUST!

• Call each registrant?

• Cultivate authentic and safe feedback.
