Why it matters

Webinars have a schedule. Buyers don't. Buyers are solving problems and buying solutions whenever they have a need. Your content needs to be ready for buyers whenever they want to engage. People are coming to your website 24/7/365 and your content needs to be at its best to work on your behalf.

Webinars are like a real-estate asset. If you take care of it, you can earn rent and become rich. If you ignore it, it's just a fast-depreciating asset.

What's known

You can create a registration page to gate access to webinars. The registration page typically includes some text. Upon filling out the form on the registration page, viewers are redirected to watch a (usually long) webinar and expected to move forward in their buyers' journey.

People like multimedia content. It's easier for human brains to process videos.

Tips

By doing the above you've elevated the registration page and the thank-you page experience which will drive registrations and viewership. Supplement these efforts by using email, social media and ads to drive people to your webpages.

Based on your analytics set-up, you can give email recipients VIP access to the munchable key moments instead of asking them to fill out a form again. This can be done by creating separate landing pages for anonymous visitors and known audiences.

THE OUTCOME

Convert more registration page visitors to leads.
Drive more viewership of content locked in webinars.
Reduce webinar drop-off.
Extend webinar shelf life and impact.


Protect your webinars from decaying and capture a bigger share of buyer's time by asking for less time.
