Avoid these webinar mistakes if you want to create engaging experiences in 2022
Join ON24’s Tim Johnston as he reveals how marketers can create genuinely engaging virtual experiences that stand out amongst a sea of fatigue-inducing webinars.
It should come as no surprise that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a serious boom in digital events. With the majority of would-be attendees either in lockdown or unable to travel interstate, there are a whole lot of reasons why businesses have been opting to go digital.
As a result, there are more webinars and digital events than ever competing for the time and attention of your prospects. How do you rise above the noise? The answer is seemingly simple: rethink your webinar basics.
Engaging experiences are key for brands looking to avoid the curse of the dreaded ‘digital fatigue’ that comes from too many virtual marketing events. By creating virtual experiences that truly engage the audience, brands are able to increase conversion rates and stick in their prospect’s minds for long after the event is over.

Why is nailing your digital event strategy so important? Well, according to ON24’s Future of Events Report, 52% of marketers don’t use polls, surveys, or Q&As, 51% don’t make sessions available on-demand after the event, and 46% don’t have their sales teams on hand to answer questions in real-time.
Tools like polls, surveys, virtual booths, and Q&As are all great ways to turn a less-than-exciting virtual conference into an experience that rivals the excitement and engagement of an in-person event. It’s clear that many marketers could be making their events work far harder than they currently are. There’s a huge opportunity that many are missing out on, with many settling for bland webinars that fail to convert.
