Editor's Notes
- 92% of respondents indicated that one of the most efficient means of generating high quality leads is with webinars – MarketingSherpa 2011 B2B Marketing Advanced Practices handbook (second only to website design and optimization)But another Marketing Sherpa finding shows that over 2/3 of this audience are probably not using webinars.
- As a marketer …
- 4 to 6 weeks ahead – to allow for sufficient promotionPick a target and ask yourself how can I help this audience without selling to them?RelevantUrgentImportantPromotion – making sure you aren’t misleading them with your title. Make it clear – don’t use a catchy title. Learning one thing when aren’t Be creativeWebinar trailers on YouTube channelUse Twitter for promotion and as an additional way to get a conversation goingLinkedIn – user groups, don’t be salesy about itEvent calendars - We have added in a way for marketers to create and send a press release around their webinar through the Readytalk toolIncent the users to attend the webinar – get xyz at the end of the webinarPractice - Focus on presentation not on the technology - Making sure the speaker is comfortable
- Continue conversation – twitter after party, put it on blog, post event survey. You can use these all again for content. There are so many ways to use thisNot a one and done presentation – tie it into whatever else you are doing. How can you integrate into other campaigns? Be creative with this use it in a number of different places and different formats.
