With the bringing of the internet in our lives and gaining an important place in our lives, there have been great revolutionary changes both in our daily life and in our business life. Virtual and digital platforms which are increasing day by day, have started to have a direct impact on our workflow and business conduct process. More and more companies are beginning to choose virtual events for a number of reasons such as ease of access, budget-friendliness and time savings. Although we saw that many things in the business sector have changed, certain issues still remained. Marketing your business and offers at trade fairs is one of them. 

Creating leads is very important in terms of important issues such as generating an income and measuring the success of their effectiveness. We need to underline this issue especially in virtual events.

How do virtual events manage to increase lead generation?

1. Generates Massive Reach.

Thanks to your virtual events, you can easily eliminate many obstacles such as geographical obstacles that you will encounter. Important stakeholders who cannot interact face to face can easily log in and start communicating with you. Your main goal at this point is to be able to go beyond your local target audience. After choosing the event category that best suits your purpose and target audience, you can ensure a massive and more diverse event attendance and a larger pool of potential customers correspondingly.

2. Shortens The Sales Cycle. 

In a virtual event, your visitors focus on your service. Even minutes are very important in this process. You are expected to show the best performance in the most efficient time. It is possible to speed up the sales cycle with your practicality in business. With the visitors attending your event, your sales cycle will begin to accelerate and move in this direction. 

3. Doubles As Marketing Channel and An E-Commerce Platform.

The dynamic nature of virtual events offers you multiple options. If you are looking for wider audiences and higher volumes of content download and sharing conditions, you should turn to events with lower cost of participation. This circumstance will expand your network and allows to increase your potential customer mass. 

Alternatively, you can request a small amount to access your online events. Thus, you can make your events more exclusive. This is one of the smartest tactics to market a product. If it is suitable for your target audience, VIP or special access opportunities can also be added.

In virtual events, you can market your products smoothly and present them to relevant audiences. However, you can also integrate an e-commerce engine that allows visitors to buy products from there and then generate revenue in a short time.

4. Delivers Information Through Interactive Content.

If we consider the amount of percentage, most people prefer things that they are used to and that feel more realistic. However, we can say that technology improving rapidly has begun to destroy these perceptions and habits. According to some important data, 32% of users contacting a brand on social media expect a response in 30 minutes or less. Therefore, live webcasts and videos are starting to spread and become popular day by day. 

Virtual events also provide quick interaction opportunities such as instant communication, social sharing and question-answer sessions. Virtual events continue to maintain their indispensable status to reach your audiences for free and increase your memorability. The social media tools that we mentioned help to expand the achieving to your event and reach more participants. In this way, you can contact your customers as soon as possible.

5. Enables Data - Driven Lead Tracking. 

The process after the end of the activity is as important as the activity process. Data after the end of your event helps evaluate the performance of the process. Statistics can be determined as follows;

  • The number of participants,
  • Content views and download volume,
  • Number of interactions,
  • The volume and value of the transactions made,
  • Number of downloaded apps.

These data are among the most important issues that should be used in the reporting process. It also helps you create a roadmap for your next event by showing you what works and what doesn't. For example, with your reports, you can identify where attendance amount increased during your event and improve relevant content to keep attendees coming to your next event. 

6. A Virtual Event Is Not A One-Time Affair.

The best part of virtual events is that it does not mean that everything is over when the event is over. You can keep access to your virtual events open after the scheduled time has passed. In this way, the rate of accessing and sharing your content increases. For those of your target audience who are not eligible and cannot participate, the chance of access still continues. In this way, you will not have a loss of your potential customer mass.

In addition, since you keep the information of your potential customers or the people who registered for the event even after the event, you can send them the promotions you want and thus expand your potential customer mass.

It is up to everyone to make virtual events, that are the new and popular sector of our age, an advantage with good planning and reporting. At this stage, follow the articles on our blog to be conscious when creating a virtual event and come forward compared to your competitors.
