30 webinaires pour 2024 : L'engagement et l'appréciation sans emballage

Digital marketing has the power to elevate brand value, and webinars are a crucial part of that strategy. But in a world where virtual events are booming— with a 79% surge in digital event planning, standing out takes more than just great content and a stellar presenter.

Engagement and appreciation often hinge on one key element: gifting. Gone are the days of generic swag bags and forgettable keychains. Thoughtful, well-curated gifts can boost post-webinar interaction, strengthen brand loyalty, and leave a lasting impression. It’s not just a thank-you—it’s a smart way to make your event unforgettable.

Why choose virtual gifts for webinars?

Considérez votre public comme des invités d'honneur lors d'une réunion virtuelle, où des cadeaux bien choisis rehaussent l'expérience, renforcent les associations positives avec la marque et encouragent un engagement continu. 

• Brand ambassador with benefits: Imagine attendees not merely absorbing information but walking away with a tangible extension of your brand. A well-chosen gift, aligned with your webinar theme, transcends a mere handout; it becomes a miniature ambassador, subtly embedding your brand message in their daily lives. 
• Rappel de la marque: Un cadeau bien choisi, au bon moment et en rapport avec votre sujet, prolonge la durée de vie de votre webinaire bien au-delà de l'écran de clôture. Les destinataires sont plus susceptibles de se souvenir positivement de votre marque et de partager leur expérience avec d'autres, ce qui renforce votre portée et votre influence.
•  Sales cloaked in appreciation: Virtual gifts needn't solely be about goodwill; they can be potent sales catalysts. Think about offering a webinar-exclusive discount code as a parting present.
  
  The perceived value and exclusivity act as irresistible purchase enticements, converting passive viewers into valued customers. It's a win-win: attendees feel rewarded, while your sales take a delightful uptick.
•  Polishing your brand image: Forget stale promotional slogans; let your brand speak through meaningful gifts. Offering access to educational resources, charitable donations in attendees' names, or personalized thank-you videos showcases your commitment to social responsibility and genuine audience appreciation.
  
  This builds trust, cultivates a positive brand image, and sets you apart in the digital noise.
• Building bridges: From Curiosity to community: Webinars often leave a lingering question: how do we connect with this audience further? Virtual gifts offer the answer. By providing exclusive content, access to online communities, or personalized consultations tailored to attendees' needs, you nurture a sense of belonging and foster deeper connections.

This lays the foundation for loyal customer relationships, transforming fleeting viewers into dedicated brand advocates.

L'art d'offrir des webinaires : Etiquette, timing et impressions durables

Le cadeau pour les webinaires n'est pas seulement une boîte avec un nœud ; c'est un investissement stratégique dans les relations, l'appréciation et le marketing de la marque. Pour qu'il ait un impact réel, suivez les conseils suivants en matière d'étiquette et de timing afin de laisser une impression durable :

• Strike while the iron is hot: Present your keynote speakers, trainers, and emcees with personalized tokens of appreciation immediately following the event.

This promptness underscores the sincerity of your gratitude and allows them to proudly showcase your branded gifts, amplifying your reach and marketing your business organically.

A thoughtful, hand-written note on a custom card mentioning their specific impact elevates the experience from a mere object to a cherished memento.

Ce souci du détail en dit long sur les valeurs de votre entreprise et transforme l'expérience du déballage en une rencontre mémorable avec la marque.
• Un cadeau qui ne s'oublie pas : Un courriel de suivi personnalisé exprimant vos remerciements sincères et votre intérêt pour de futures collaborations renforce votre lien et ouvre des voies potentielles pour un engagement continu.

Freshworks transforms event gifting with Plum’s seamless digital rewards

Freshworks Inc. is a well-known SaaS platform that recently made it to the headlines for its debut on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange. 

Fondée en 2010, Freshworks crée des solutions logicielles de pointe qui permettent aux entreprises de satisfaire facilement et rapidement leurs employés et leurs clients. Fidèle à son nom de marque, l'entreprise adopte une approche "fraîche" dans la conception et la fourniture de logiciels en tant que service qui sont non seulement abordables et rapides à mettre en œuvre, mais aussi faciles à utiliser pour les utilisateurs finaux.

Défi: Freshworks récompensait traditionnellement les participants à ses événements physiques par des cadeaux tangibles. Cependant, la pandémie a perturbé le processus habituel d'attribution des cadeaux, rendant l'expédition internationale peu pratique et géographiquement incohérente.

Solution: Freshworks embraced digital solutions by partnering with Plum, a robust rewards platform offering flexibility and global reach. Plum's strengths perfectly addressed Freshworks' needs:

• Grande variété: Le vaste catalogue de Plum, qui comprend plus d'un million d'options dans plus de 75 pays, a permis à Freshworks de créer des lots de cadeaux localisés pour les participants de divers pays.
• Facilité d'utilisation: l'interface conviviale de la plateforme a permis de créer rapidement des campagnes et de distribuer des bons d'achat. En quelques clics, Freshworks a envoyé aux participants des bons d'une valeur de plus de 5 000 $.
• Zapier Integration: Plum's seamless integration with Zapier streamlined lead capture and personalized communication. Custom landing pages with creative CTAs helped drive engagement and direct attendees to their localized redemption shops.
• Localisation automatisée: La technologie intelligente de Plum détecte automatiquement les lieux où se trouvent les utilisateurs et affiche les options de cadeaux pertinentes en fonction de la devise locale et de la disponibilité. Cela a permis d'éviter les problèmes de conversion de devises ou de choix incompatibles.
• Flux de travail personnalisables: L'intégration Zapier de la plateforme a permis à Freshworks de personnaliser les flux de travail pour la capture des prospects et l'activation des campagnes. Cela a favorisé une expérience dynamique et engageante pour les participants à l'événement.

Résultats 

• Plus de 500 bons de récompense ont été distribués sur plusieurs sites.
• Augmentation de la participation aux événements grâce à l'attrait des récompenses numériques.
• Rationalisation du processus d'attribution des cadeaux en réduisant la coordination des fournisseurs et la complexité logistique.
• Amélioration de la satisfaction des participants grâce à des options de cadeaux localisées et à une expérience d'échange transparente.
