Add to Calendar is Broken
• Saw a Webinar event I wanted to attend how many clicks does it take to add the event to my calendar with the right information?

More clicks
• + 6 Clicks on this page register and get a “placeholder” calendar event downloaded that is still not in my calendar.
• Currently at 7 Click Points
• Still no calendar in my system

I am unsure of what account/calendar of mine it is going to. (Granted I run a few accounts within my Outlook) – Also no webinar details included. Figured out later they don’t want to share the webinar details to people who don’t register. 31e invites would only send the invites to registered participants.
+1 Click Point
9 total add to calendar click points

7 vs 9 Click Points – Big deal
While 7 vs 9 may not that different– it can make a huge difference in webinar attendance with a
correctly crafted invite.
Early beta tests showed on 70% of the registers attended. Industry norm
averages 20-25%!

Simplicity is key!
The marketer is already sending a “Confirmation email” – why not have it an invite to be in their
calendar with the right event details?
