How to Follow Up With Webinar Attendees
Part 7 - Learn how to boost engagement with post-webinar follow-up strategies
Engaging your audience after a webinar is crucial for maintaining momentum, building relationships, and maximizing the impact of your session. Here’s a guide on how you can keep the conversation going:
A well-crafted follow-up email summarizing the main points discussed during the webinar is an excellent way to re-engage your audience. Include a thank-you message, key takeaways, and a session recording for those who might have missed it or want to revisit it.
Ask attendees for their opinions through a brief survey. Focus on questions that help you understand their experience and learn how you can improve future webinars. This not only keeps the interaction going but also provides valuable insights for your next sessions.
Provide links to related articles, eBooks, infographics, or tools that align with the webinar topic. This positions you as a valuable resource and gives your audience more reasons to stay connected.
If you have another relevant event, course, or product, mention it in your follow-up communication. You can offer early access, exclusive discounts, or other incentives to keep attendees engaged with your brand.
Invite attendees to join your social media channels or an exclusive group (e.g., on LinkedIn or Facebook) to discuss the webinar content further. This creates a sense of community and fosters long-term engagement.
Break down the webinar into bite-sized content such as blog posts, short videos, or infographics. Share these across your digital channels to keep the conversation alive and attract those who couldn’t attend.
Consider creating a space (like a private group or forum) where attendees can connect, share insights, and network. You can facilitate discussions or ask thought-provoking questions to keep the dialogue flowing.
For leads who show high engagement, offering a personal consultation or a limited-time trial of your product or service is a direct way to convert interest into action.
A good follow-up email after your webinar is crucial for maintaining engagement, gathering feedback, and driving further action. Here's a step-by-step guide to writing the perfect webinar follow-up email:
Begin your email by addressing your recipient by name. Personalization goes a long way in establishing a connection and making your email feel less generic.
Thank your participants for taking the time to join your webinar. A simple “thank you” sets a positive tone for the rest of the email.
Briefly summarize the main takeaways or highlights of the webinar. This will serve as a reminder and reinforce the session's value.
Provide a link to the webinar recording, presentation slides, or any additional resources mentioned during the session. This is helpful for those who want to revisit the content or can’t attend live.
Prompt your audience to take the next step, whether it’s booking a consultation, downloading a resource, or signing up for future events. A clear and compelling CTA (Call-to-Action) can help guide them toward more engagement.
Gather insights from your audience by requesting feedback. A quick survey link or a few questions can provide valuable data to improve future webinars.
Keep your audience engaged by informing them of related content or upcoming events that align with their interests.
End the email on a positive note with a friendly closing that reflects your brand’s tone.
Craft a subject line that grabs attention and hints at the value inside. Keep it concise and relevant.
Ensure your recipients can easily reach out if they have questions. Including your contact details makes your email more accessible.
