Looking To Host A Great Webinar? Audience Engagement Is Key!
The difference between a good webinar and a great one boils down to two words – AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT.
There are several tools and software available to help you build excitement and involve the audience to participate in a meaningful way. While Zoom and other applications provide built in audience engagement features like polling, chat, and Q&A, Slido and Mentimeter take those standard features to the next level by presenting output in a more engaging way or offering more advanced audience engagement options.
- Slido
Slido offers great Q&A features and a polling platform for webinars. It offers interactive Q&A, live polls, and insights about your audience. You can crowdsource the best questions from your audience and make everyone part of the conversation.
Discover what topics resonate with your audience and share the insights with your stakeholders.
Also, it is compatible with your favorite video conferencing tools like Zoom, Skype, Webex, or GoToMeeting.
- Mentimeter
Mentimeter is Sweden’s fastest growing startup. With Mentimeter you can build interactive presentations with the easy-to-use online editor. You can add questions, polls, quizzes, slides, images, and gifs to your presentation to create fun and engaging presentations.
In the words of the CEO & Founder of Mentimeter Johnny Warström, “By doing a Menti you turn a passive audience into active contributors and make sure that every person feels they are listened to. It is the easiest way to turn a virtual presentation from good (or even poor) to great.”
Your audience uses their smartphones to connect to the presentation where they can answer questions. You can even visualize their responses in real-time to create a fun and interactive experience.
As more companies gravitate towards #WFM culture, business operations will become more dependent on the effectiveness of its communications tools.
Webinars are here to stay!
