Drive more registrations and attendees with a beautifully designed webinar email.
What is a Webinar Email?
A webinar email is sent to invite individuals to an online webinar event. The email will contain information like the webinar date, time, duration of the webinar, speakers, and the key theme. Webinar emails may also include subsequent reminder emails for registrations to encourage them to save the date and share the webinar attendance link.
Who uses Webinar Emails?
Any marketing team running a virtual event should consider the content of their webinar emails. Webinar emails help to invite attendees and improve event registration, but follow-up reminder messages can ensure high attendance and engagement.
