Editor's Notes
POLL: Is it a webinar? A Screencast? A Webcast?
You can only get there with a clear strategy and broaden who you speak with and why
Educating Existing and potential customers
Lead generation
Building a strong position in the market
Converting new contacts
Making new contacts
Making a webinar recording for content development
Registrants versus actual webinar attendees: Not every registrant attends your webinar. According to ON24â˛s research, about 42% of people attend a typical marketing webinar. One way to make sure more people are able to see your webinar is to host a replay or second showing and invite the no-shows!
Webinar invitation timing: Most attendees will register the week of your webinar. In fact, many people will register (and attend) the day of the webinar if you send out reminder emails or social media posts. The lesson is, plan in advance, but realize that most people will attend opportunistically.
Length of the Webinar: Timing varies, but the average viewing time is between 45-60 minutes. Donât save you call-to-action until the last few minutes or you may have lost a portion due to drop-offs. I like to do the CTA somewhere in the middle of the webinar (and reinforce it later), or just at the end, right before the Q&A section.
Webinar Replays: According to the study, 25% of registrants view the replay. If you promote your replay, you can get both original âno showsâ and net new registrants to attend your replay. In fact, it can be an asset you use for weeks or months.
Webinar Day of the Week: According to the study, Tuesdayâs best, with Wednesday and Thursday coming after that
Time of Day: 10am to be the most popular time â not too far off. Again, you can test different times to see which one results in better attendance rates for your business.
