Webinars are excellent methods of communication, especially when the participants are worlds apart. The ability to look a person in the eye while they are in another country, or speak with ten people in ten different states at the same time has changed the way we do business forever. But webinars are not strictly just for communication. They can be used as auditorium replacements, management tools, or even marketing devices. Marketing is all about getting your message out to as many people in your target market as possible. Here are five reasons webinars are ideal as unique, cost-effective, cost-reducing marketing tools.
1. Out of the Ordinary
Even though webinars are extensively used in the business world, chances are your prospects either haven?t been in one, or have never attended a marketing one. Not only will you stand out from your competitors, the unique experience for your participants will encourage them to pay more attention and help to cement your message in their minds.
2. More Focused
When you blast out your message using emails, commercials, or even flyers, you?re covering a much larger cross-section of people than you need or want. A lot of money is on people that are not potential customers. A webinar can be held anytime, but it takes a modicum of prospect participation to make it complete. If you use cheap, but general advertising announcing a webinar, then only the people who are interested will participate. You?ve just saved countless hours and resources by not having to sift through cold prospects.
3. Can Work 24/7
You can?t be selling all day, every day, and hiring staff to do so is expensive. Unlike a phone call or sales visit, a webinar can be recorded and enjoyed by anyone,swiss watches, anytime. The next time you do a webinar, make it a production you?d want to share with any prospects. After you record it, put it up on your website, or email the link to your potential customers. They can go to it online, whenever they please,watches for sale, and you are now selling at four in the morning.
4. Make a Connection
Like blogs, webinars are a great way to connect with your target market. Your words, your voice, even your face can be seen each week or month with a webinar; driving home the message of your company and your availability. If you host regular calls for your current and potential customers, you can answer their questions, talk about new products, and make them feel good about buying from you.
5. Create an Experience
People have become savvier when it comes to spotting someone trying to sell them something. Creative marketing forms impressions and ideas that lead -- not drag ? a customer to the cash register. Hosting a webinar can be seen as a sales event, but it doesn?t have to be. Make the webinar about events in the industry, or have an end-user idea session. Another idea is to sponsor a guest speaker that may have nothing to do with your business, but that your participants will enjoy.
Sales can be boiled down to creating relationships and marketing is the first step in that direction. Used properly, webinars help to make connections in new ways that go beyond sales and into partnerships.
