Tips
Here are four top tips from the Online Seminar content team, to create an engaging and effective follow up email strategy:
1. Timing is everything – send your first email within 24 hours of the webinar
2. Keep it personal – address each recipient by name in the body of the email, thank them for their time, input and the simple fact that they attended your webinar
3. Call to actions – make sure you have one or more in your follow up email and make them easy to engage with
4. Incentivize – If possible give your attendees a small gift for attending most of the times it is more about the idea of appreciation than the incentive itself
But to come to this point you need to first set up and broadcast your webinar. With the Online Seminar Self Service Platform it is so easy to start and create your own follow up email strategy.
