Increasing Webinar Engagement

Offer Valuable Content

First of all, your webinar must contain valuable content for everyone attending. While the subject matter is crucial to the organizing and planning of your webinar, it’s also essential for increasing attendance numbers and engagement rates. If your audience doesn’t feel like you are offering something valuable to them, they won’t show up. And even if they do attend, they’re not going to engage with your company. To get valuable leads, you need to provide relevant information.

Don’t Overstay Your Welcome

The length of your webinar should not exceed over an hour. These days, people don’t have the time to invest any longer than an hour outside of their regular schedule. Respect the time of your audience and leave room for a Q&A period at the end.

Keep the Reminders Coming

The cadence of promoting your webinar is essential to improving your attendance rates. People who register should get at least three reminders before the start time of your webinar. Ideally, you are reminding the registered prospects a week before, the day before, and the day of your webinar. Whether you are automating these messages or sending them organically, it’s essential to repeatedly remind your audience of what day and time your webinar is happening.

Encourage Feedback

After it’s all said and done, you need audience engagement. By using a short survey to gauge the audience's thoughts on your presentation, you can use their feedback to improve future webinars in addition to giving your sales team one more opportunity to do a follow-up call after the event.

Re-Use the Content

Even if you don’t hit the attendance numbers you were looking for, you can still use that information to generate future leads. Record your webinar to share in the future, and use that content to create blogs, e-books, and other marketing collateral pieces to further engage and inform your audience.
