Four-Phase Webinar Email Campaign Framework

Reusability

A systematic email campaign structure for webinar events consisting of four distinct phases: registration, reminders, live notifications, and post-event sales sequences.

How It Works

Each phase serves a specific psychological function - building anticipation, preventing no-shows, creating FOMO during the event, and converting warm leads post-event when buying intent is highest.

Components

1

Phase 1: Registration campaign (6 pre-registration emails to cold audience)

2

Phase 2: Reminder sequence (4 emails to registered attendees about upcoming event)

3

Phase 3: Live notifications (4 emails during the webinar to non-attendees)

4

Phase 4: Post-event sales sequence (6-10 emails with offers and bonuses)

When to Use

When launching high-value products or courses through live webinar events, especially for audiences that need significant nurturing before purchase decisions.

When Not to Use

For low-ticket impulse purchases, transactional products, or audiences that prefer minimal communication.

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

Skipping phases or reducing email volume without testingUsing same messaging across all phasesNot segmenting between registered and unregistered audiences

Example

A business coach launching a $5000 course sends 6 registration emails over 2 weeks, 4 reminder emails to registrants, 4 'you're missing out' emails during the live event, then 8 sales emails with decreasing bonuses over 5 days post-event.
