Rescuing Response Rates
You worked so hard to develop that webinar, right? In record time, you changed an in-person training to an online experience. You even got your participants to engage in real time! When the webinar ended, you were so excited to read your survey responses. After all, your in-person trainings always get rave reviews! But when you went online to check them out… there were none (gasp)! Sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone!
Now that 2020 has become the year of in-person-trainings-gone-virtual, we’ve been seeing more and more folks battling webinar fatigue. One way this seems to be manifesting is in the lack of webinar survey data. Do we still think participants are grateful for the webinar support they’re receiving? We sure do! But that gut feeling may not go far enough when it comes time to debrief with staff, improve future trainings, or write up that report to a funder.
So how can we get webinar feedback data when response rates seem to be dwindling?
