How to Craft Customized Webinar Invitation Email: Tips (Briefly!) 

 

Apart from the subject line, an effective webinar email should encompass the following connected pieces of information:

• Title
• Data, time, duration
• Event’s purpose
• Agenda items
• Webinar participants and hosts
• The value and outcomes
• Call to action for registration
• Professional email signature

 

Based on these elements, let’s go through the tips on how to write engaging webinar invitation emails and accelerate your email outbound strategy. 

 

Tip #1 : Come up with an appealing subject line

 

Firstly, your subject line should be target-oriented, which ensures that the right emails go to the right person. So that break your email recipients into smaller groups based on their interests, preferences, demographics, etc. By the way, segmented email campaigns foster revenue generation by 760%. Fantastic!

 

Considering that people tend to open emails on their phones, take the length into consideration. Aim for a short and concise subject line containing 7-8 words. Season it with your creativity to make it a zest. 

 

Tip #2: Indicate the time and date

 

These two items are the foremost aspects you must cover in the email body. Also, you can add such details as how long the webinar will be run. When setting the invitation time, keep in mind different time zones to avoid discrepancies. Make sending of the invitation at least 1-2 weeks beforehand. 

 

Tip #3: Outline the purpose and agenda

 

Stating a clear and concise goal of the event will provide potential attendees with reference points. Regardless of what complexity the webinar will be, stick to 1-2 sentences. Afterward, it is essential to include brief agenda items without going into great depth, covering the topics that are going to be discussed. 

 

Tip #5: Be benefit-oriented

 

Apart from basic webinar info, provide the prospects with a precise explanation of the benefits this webinar will bring them in the first lines of copy. How you formulate your intent will impact the decision-making of your prospects or leads. Thus, instead of talking about yourself and your strengths, transform the message from the recipients’ perspective (exactly how this webinar will help them solve their pain points!) 

 

For instance, feel the difference:

 

X  We will talk about how business leaders increased their return on investments in the retail industry.

V  Learn straight from the business leaders how to increase your return on investment in your industry.   

 

Tip #6: Apply the FOMO approach

 

It’s not obligatory to use the fear of missing out (FOMO) method to create the value your webinar is going to deliver. But sometimes, FOMO can be a good driver for registration rates to increase. Combine this approach with persuasive and personalized subject lines to double the chances of your recipients’ participation. 

 

Tip #7: Finalize with different CTAs

 

The final stroke is to wrap up the invitation email by providing your branding signature and straight-to-the-point CTA that doesn’t leave room for confusion. Test your call to action to understand what triggers your audience the best. For example, you can make it:

 

• in the form of a question [Will you attend? YES/NO button]
• straightforward by simply indicating [reply YES with the link]
• customizable and tailored to each target audience [Save my seat, Register Now!]

How to Make Webinar Invitation Emails Even More Effective? Wordstir Brief Guide.

 

Creating the webinar invite email is just part of the cold email strategy. To take the best out of the webinar invitations, you must build a holistic email sequence that will be customized and tailored to your specific audience. 

 

NOTE: We adhere to 3-5-wave length emails for webinar invitation purposes; however, you have to adjust your sequence according to the type and goal of your email campaign. 

 

The structure of the webinar invitation emails sequence

1. Webinar first invitation email

 

In the first kick-off invitation email, it is recommended to provide a prospect with the details of the event covering the benefits but in the way how they can be beneficial to recipients. Therefore, it is essential to research your target audience's pain points and adapt the solutions according to their particular needs. Also, consider including such tricks in the emails:

 

• Start with a question relating to the recipient’s issue and the resolution.
  
  

[Do you know that 74% of employees’ burnout is affected by tedious and repetitive tasks that automated workflows can significantly optimize?]

• Equip the recipient with all the details regarding the benefits they can get very briefly.

[This is a great chance to learn how you can leverage task management tools to streamline workflows and sync up communication between all the members in your company]

 

• Incorporate a referral approach.
  
  

[I’m looking for the best person who will be interested in reinforcing your current workload in the company with AI-driven solutions. Will it be you or {{Referral Name}}?]

 

WORDSTIR TIP: Mention the names of other prominent participants who are also involved in the prospect’s industry to arouse more appetite. 

 

2. Webinar reminder email. This quick follow-up serves as a reminder of the previous messages. Also, you can add some more details about the agenda.

 

3. Closing-up email. One more follow-up with the recipient where you remind them of the last chance to join the webinar. Add the final touch by focusing on the value and personalizing a CTA. You can also experiment with offering alternative variants for your prospect/lead in case they certainly won’t be able to participate in the webinar. For instance, offer a quick call to answer their hot questions.
   
   

WORDSTIR TIP: Equip yourself with several buffer options in case your certain email can’t hit the target. 

 

4. Post-webinar follow-up. If your recipients missed the webinar, follow up with them by offering a webinar record or setting up a quick call. There are two options of outreach in this case: (1) for those who participated in the webinar, and (2) those who didn’t.
   
   

WORDSTIR TIP: Applying a hook like a webinar teaser is a good idea to provoke recipients’ interest.
