Webinar sneak peek email templates

So you’ve spent a long time planning and organizing a great webinar, and everything is in place for the day of the event. Your presentation has been prepared and practiced, speakers have been arranged, you’ve created an event page, and the streaming equipment and software have been tested. The most important points have all been covered, right? Wrong. If the best webinar in the world takes place but there’s no one there to watch it, did it even happen?

As such, one of the most important aspects of webinar prep is encouraging people to register their attendance and then ensuring as many of them as possible actually attend the webinar when it takes place. There are countless ways to promote your webinars, including paid advertising and posts on social media platforms. 

However, email marketing remains one of the most popular and most cost-effective advertising solutions. Thus, webinar sneak peek emails are one of the best ways to promote your upcoming online conference or talk.

Content of webinar sneak peek emails

Before your webinar takes place, it’s advisable to send out a series of messages to the people in your email database. Start with an invitation email, follow it up with a registration confirmation email, and finish strong with one or more reminder emails close to the webinar date. Most of these emails should include the following snippets of information to give your email recipients a preview of what they can expect:

• The time and date of your event – people obviously need to know when the webinar will take place so they can save the date. Remember to include the time zone you’re referring to as online conferences can attract a global audience
• Proposed value – promote your event by outlining what your audience can learn during the webinar, and, most importantly, how the information will help them solve problems they are facing
• Details about the speakers – include information like their names, background, photos, presentation titles, and past experience that makes them experts on the given topic. Include links to their YouTube channels, Instagrams, and other social networks so that your audience can familiarize themselves with them and their past work.
