Veterinary Webinar Exceeds Registrant-to-Attendee Conversion Rate Benchmark [Case Study]3 min read

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We know that webinars are a good lead generation tool, but how do you really gauge the effectiveness of your webinar program? Naturally, a high number of registrations is a good sign you’ve attracted valuable attention. But it’s the registrant-to-attendee conversion rate that truly measures success. This conversion rate has been one of the steadiest webinar benchmarks over the years, averaging between 35% and 45%, according to data compiled by Bizibl. If your conversion rates are frequently low, it may be time to reevaluate your webinar program.

There are quite a few different ways to drive a stronger registrant-to-attendee conversion rate in the veterinary industry:

  • Create scarcity: Don’t offer a recorded version after the live broadcast.
  • Offer incentives: Create a drawing or giveaway that requires attendance for registrants to participate.
  • Provide value: Consider obtaining RACE-approval for your webinar program through the AAVSB and offering RACE-approved CE.

In this case study, we’ll take a look at how one company leveraged RACE-approved CE to earn high registration numbers and an incredible registrant-to-attendee conversion rate.
