Let us manage the complexity associated with running Online Events and Meetings!

A webinar is a web seminar. More and more companies are using webinars to reach out to customers, prospects and employees. An effective online presentation is just one requirement for a successful webinar. You need additional infrastructure to promote the event, register attendees, conduct the webinar and follow-up with the attendees. We provide the tools and services to help you every step of the way.

There are 5 steps to a successful webinar:

  1. Planning and Setup - getting ready
  2. Marketing and Promotion - inviting your audience
  3. Registration and Confirmation - who is coming
  4. Webinar Preparation and Execution- the main event
  5. Follow-up and Closure - who attended; who didn't

Whether this is your first webinar or you are an old pro, we ensure that your event is a success, the first time and every time.

Planning and Setup

As part of your webinar planning, you determine your target audience and message, the date and time of the session(s), your speakers, and the basic marketing plan to invite your guests. You may also decide to limit the size of the session, charge a fee, or screen the registrants before they are allowed to join. We can help you decide these options.

Setting up a session is easy.

  • We can customize a 'Landing Page' to promote your webinar.
  • You can even specify a registration fee for your event. We collect the fee from your registrants via our secure connection with VeriSign (High Caliber charges a handling fee for this service.).
  • Visitors to your Landing Page can easily click through to a Registration Page where we prompt them for the information that you specified and record their responses in a registration database.
  • Online access to the the registration database lets you keep track of who has registered for your event. You can view the registration data online or download it in Microsoft Excel format.
  • Confirmation and reminder emails are automatically sent to your registrants to give them clear instructions for attending your event.
  • We can apply your logo to the landing and registration pages and the emails.

Marketing and Promotion

Now that your webinar is set up, you need to gather your audience. An email is the most effective method to invite your guests to your webinar. You can use in-house lists of customers, prospects, colleagues or members. You can also purchase a targeted list of likely parties interested in your webinar topic. We can help you manage this process. We have a great email template that includes all of the key features of a successful webinar invitation which are:

  • A personalized salutation
  • A summary of the webinar content and reasons to attend
  • Links to the Registration and Landing pages
  • Speaker information
  • A personalized closing
  • Opt out links
  • The ability to forward the webinar invitation to a friend or colleague
  • You can send the email from your server or we can manage your email list for you. The tool we use keeps track of bounces, opens, click through's, forwards and opt outs. Plus your email list is updated for any opt outs.

Be sure to include a link on the your web site to the webinar Landing Page. Other traditional forms of marketing generally direct prospects to your web site or provide a toll free number. We provide the tools to allow you to easily register callers while on the phone or we can answer your reservation number for you.
