The Strategy Behind Webinar Reminders
The Idea Behind the Flow
Email inboxes are crowded, and reminder emails for webinars often get lost or read hours after the event has already ended. The idea behind this SMS flow is to bypass the inbox and deliver a high-priority notification straight to the registrant's phone right when they need it. By combining email reminders with an SMS push 15 minutes before you go live, you can often double your live attendance rate.
Why This Flow Works
This flow works because it leverages the immediacy of text messaging. The 24-hour reminder sets the expectation and confirms their spot, building anticipation. The 15-minute warning is the critical conversion mechanism. Because people have their phones with them at all times, a text at the exact moment you are starting provides a frictionless path to join. They can click the link and join from their mobile device, or be prompted to open their laptop.
How to Think About This Flow
Think of this flow as a necessary logistical push, not a marketing message. You are providing a service by making it easy for them to attend something they already signed up for. Keep the tone energetic and urgent. Use emojis (like the red circle or an alarm clock) to visually signal that an event is starting right now. Make sure the link is the focal point of the final message.
What You Should Customize
Customize the [Topic] in the 24-hour reminder to reiterate the value proposition of the webinar. Ensure you are using a shortened, mobile-friendly link for the webinar room. If your webinar software requires a password or specific login instructions, include them clearly in the text. You must also ensure that you collected explicit SMS consent on the webinar registration form before sending these reminders.
