LEARNING GOAL: discover what a webinar is and what you can do with it.

You hear and see more and more things about webinars lately. Or you regularly receive an invitation to participate in a webinar. And it is for a reason that you increasingly see the webinar passing by. Webinars are a great tool to connect with your audience and potential customers.

It is for a reason that all of these organizers are increasingly opting for this method of communication. There must be an important reason for that, right ?!

A webinar offers you the opportunity to profile yourself online. You create an online platform for yourself or your company. Where you get unconditional attention from your participants. How beautiful is that? So people are not only willing to leave their name and email address, but they also really make time for you. That feels like a whole responsibility, and of course, it is. A promise is guilty and if you promise people that they are going to learn something, you have to offer added value. That will not be a problem, so with the right preparation, it will be fine.

Trust

A webinar ensures you can build a relationship of trust with the viewers. And trust is still the main reason for people to make a purchase. After all, you do not buy something from a company, but from a person. So the face behind the company. During a webinar, viewers have the opportunity to get to know you, so show yourself!

But with the large range, it is, of course, important to distinguish yourself. How do you make sure you stand out and go one step further? How do you ensure you achieve results with your webinars?

Accessible

Giving a webinar is a very practical way to attract visitors. Your audience does not have to travel anywhere or even leave the comfort of their own home. The viewer only needs an internet connection and a device connected to the internet. With a webinar, you can offer a personal experience in an accessible way.

Scalable

With webinars, you can easily get in touch with your target group on a large scale. While other communication channels lose the personal message as the audience grows, webinars can become increasingly valuable. Viewers can ask questions about the content and even get in touch with each other.

More engagement

A well-made webinar is a great way to generate new leads and build brand awareness by teaching the viewer something. You want to give the viewer something based on your expertise. When you give a webinar to existing customers, a webinar is a good way to outline the product range or to demonstrate a product or product update.

Make sure you offer real value when it comes to encouraging participation in your webinar. Someone who participates in your webinar is more than likely interested in your product or service.

You can do this by promoting discounts for participating in the webinar or even promoting discounts during the webinar.
