Using a webinar as a marketing tool: it’s a smart way to introduce your target audience to new products. What makes such a webinar successful? Obvion Mortgages shows you how to handle a webinar in a smart way.
Product information alone is often not enough to convince potential customers. A customer also wants to get to know you as a company, see the people behind the product and thus build up trust. Sharing knowledge without any obligation is a good way to achieve that. After all, this way there’s a chance that potential customers will take action.
Obvion Mortgages used a webinar to inform customers about how they can lower their mortgage interest rates at Obvion. They had hired an external presenter, Donatello Piras. He spoke to the COO, a colleague from the services department and one from the customer contact centre. Opportunities that were discussed were extra redemption or conversion of the type of mortgage.
The various participants varied the webinar. But there was more.
