In 2020, brands are leveraging virtual events more than ever.

And, although some marketers once believed that "webinars were dead,” many are now rethinking that statement as they find themselves scheduling and promoting this exact type of event.

Webinars, or online events often modeled like a class or seminar, often include a lesson, slide deck, interactive elements such as polls, and, occasionally, time for audience members to virtually ask questions.

Because of their educational format, webinars can offer a number of great perks to brands.

First, you can build a sense of credibility by hosting a webinar on a topic your company has expertise in. Second, webinars can enable your fans to interact with you digitally.

Use first names to create personalized subjects like, "Hey Jimmy, here is your complimentary report".

"Urgent" or "free" (or anything red light district related) are likely to be picked up by spam filters.

Try saying "open now to see our complimentary white paper" instead of "here is our complimentary white paper".

Use phrases like "last chance", "ending soon", "hurry-save your spot". Being direct is great for conversion.

This keeps your outreach personal and casual, just like friends emailing other friends.

...but avoid CAPITALIZING entire words and using lots of exclamation points!

Let your subscribers read your entire subject line by keeping it under 50 characters.
