    The problem with live webinars
    Webinars are a great way to communicate with prospects and customers in many locations at the same time. However, the problem is the ability to scale webinars as they can become exhausting.
  • 04:43
    Videos vs live webinars
    Videos just arent as effective as live webinars because people want to be able to engage with the host and ask questions. People make a deliberate effort to attend webinars and thats eWebinar was established to turn any video into a webinar.

    Creating an asynchronous webinar experience
    eWebinar programmed interactivity into their software so attendees can participate in polls, feedback forms, etc. They also programmed in an asynchronous chat system that allows people to ask questions and get a response from the host in real-time.

    Driving engagement by adding an interaction layer to videos
    Providing attendees with things to engage in creates a more enriching experience and encourages them to stay tuned in. The host is also provided with a lot of data to understand their prospects and how to floor up with them.

Quotes

  • ¥"I think webinars are great. That's why Zoom is the company that it is. But, there's just one massive problem, which is that it's completely unscalable." -Melissa Kwan, CEO, eWebinar¥"When you deliver your webinar next Tuesday, at 11, which is when everybody wants to deliver it, maybe 10% or 15% of people actually show up. So, how is live better when people can even make it?" -Melissa Kwan, CEO, eWebinar¥"What we designed within the software is the ability to program in interactivity. So, the whole eWebinar experience feels more like a two-way interactive tv, and less like a one-way consumption." -Melissa Kwan, CEO, eWebinar
