Webinars are a great way to learn from people who have been there
1. Explore ways to be innovative and increase attendance
One of the greatest issues marketers have to overcome is getting individuals to join a virtual event. Preethi loves to see whom else will be in the crowd as well. Sean Doyle has had success through cutting-downs taken from recorded content as cliffhangers that increase the audience's attention and build anticipation.
2. The event is more beyond a mere celebration
"We shouldn't concentrate on the live aspect of the occasion - there is a lot of interactions that occur before and after the event to be thinking about," Preethi says. Consider every event as an opportunity to create a mini-marketing campaign could be planned from the initial registration email up and on to follow-up emails.
3. Go deep on your speaker prep
"You really need to do your research before you make a choice. Do not rely solely on a person's appearance," Sean says. "Find video clips of them talking online, if they are able to or locate a friend who has met them or seen them present and can give you an honest opinion."
Be specific when describing what you're going to need to do in terms of your time and energy that will be required. Be wary of those who seem to be evasive, Preethi adds. "I do not know how many instances I've heard someone claim they do not require any IT to run. I've gone to lots of webinars prior to. I've been able to do this. Be sure to complete the exercise dry. If you can, do two. This is a reality that I can't stress enough."
4. There's no way to be an over-communication
One of the greatest challenges when it comes to organizing events is keeping everyone inside your business informed, even if they don't seem to be particularly interested.
"Three months before the event nobody is interested about the occasion," Preethi explains. "Two months ahead of the date, people don't care about what's happening. Three days before the event, everyone will be engaged and interested. You have to ensure that everyone is up-to-date. Although it may sound tedious it is not, however every two weeks, you should make sure to send out an email update about your occasion and make sure you email every executive at the firm."
5. Invite an audience on the dry run
"I would like to invite employees in the organization to participate in the testing by acting as a fake audience," Preethi says. "That's always been a huge aid to me as it gives us feedback about how the event is appearing in terms of lights, sound and entire thing."
6. Consider the possibilities Expand the limits
"People still have an appetite for these events even if the event isn't as popular in the beginning of the lockdown period," Sean explains. "So we as marketing professionals could we design these events to become more snackable and more enjoyable in addition to being more easily shared?"
Katie agrees. "We must continue to experiment There is an entire universe of undiscovered possibilities, and I'm always striving to expand the limits of what a virtual experience could be. Everyone has the same hardware as well as the same software like everyone else. So, the winner is whoever's the most creative in using it. The most important thing is the experience of an audience."
