Episode notes
ADVICE

Keep Presentations Short

  • Keep presentations to about 30–40 minutes and schedule extra time for Q&A.
  • Longer hour-long sessions can work for deep demos, but recordings become harder to rewatch unedited.
ADVICE

Set Frequency By Strategy, Not Habit

  • Choose webinar frequency by audience and objective; Wistia runs different types and 2–3 webinars monthly.
  • Consider audience overlap so customer-only sessions don't fatigue other segments.
ADVICE

Promote Intensively In Two Weeks

  • Promote primarily in a two-week window with multiple email and social touches.
  • Use reminders the day before, the day of, and an hour before to maximise attendance.
