How to Increase Webinar Attendance
Why People Skip Webinars—and How AI Automation Can Double Your Attendance
Webinar registrations are easy—getting people to actually attend is the real challenge.
Most organizers see hundreds of sign-ups but only a small percentage show up because people forget, get busy, or lose interest before the event day.
AISA-X, an intelligent AI follow-up and engagement agent, solves this exact problem by automatically reminding, nurturing, and rescheduling registrants, ensuring maximum turnout.
A recent study shows that 72% of marketers consider webinars one of the most effective B2B marketing channels, second only to in-person events.
But to get the real ROI from your webinar, attendance must be high.
Below is a refined breakdown of why attendance drops and how AISA-X fixes it.
Webinar vs Google Ads / Paid Ads — Benchmarks & Results
Meanwhile, for paid ads / Google Ads / general PPC:
PPC / SEM campaigns often deliver ~1.55× ROAS (i.e. ~55% return over ad spend) on average, across industries.
This corresponds to relatively modest returns compared to webinars — especially where the product/service requires more explanation or trust before purchase.
Paid ads tend to attract many low-intent or low-quality clicks / leads (unless targeting is ultra precise), which often dilutes ROI after factoring in closing costs, overhead, etc. This is well-known in digital-marketing circles.
Top Reasons Webinar Attendance Is Low
1. People register but forget the event — Major Reason
Most users sign up early but forget on the event day if reminders are weak or poorly timed.
2. Poor reminder communication
If reminders are not sent through WhatsApp, SMS, email, and phone calls, the chances of drop-off increase.
3. Inconvenient timing
The webinar time may clash with work, family time, or personal commitments.
4. Low perceived value
If the topic, benefits, or speaker value are not clear, registrants lose interest.
5. Long-duration sessions
People avoid long, lecture-style webinars that demand too much time.
6. Technical issues while joining — Major Reason
Complex Zoom links, password confusion, or platform unfamiliarity prevent attendance.
7. No urgency or excitement
If you don’t highlight bonuses, certificates, or limited seats, people ignore the event.
8. No follow-up for undecided or busy registrants
Leads who want to join but forget or get distracted go cold without proper nurturing.
9. Competing events or last-minute distractions
A meeting, family work, or another webinar is in its place.
10. Trust issues or weak webinar branding
If the organizer or speaker is not positioned as credible, people don’t feel motivated to join.
