This week’s Tip of the Week focuses on turning live engagement into lasting value, long after your webinar ends.
Cvent Webinar gives you polls, chat, and built‑in surveys right out of the box. In 2026, the win isn’t just using them — it’s using them intentionally so they double as content engines. Here’s how to make every click count:
1. Use polls to co-create your next asset
Don’t just ask “Are you enjoying today’s session?” Ask questions you can reuse later.
- Have attendees vote on their favorite tips throughout the session.
- By the end, you’ve got a crowd-approved “Top 10” list you can turn into a blog, social carousel, or recap email.
- Ask at least one poll that becomes a headline stat, like:
- “How confident are you in your event ROI?”
- Then follow up with: “What 1 in 8 marketers really think about measuring event ROI.”
That’s a stat you can sprinkle across social, decks, newsletters — you name it.
2. Use chat to mine bite‑sized brilliance
Chat isn’t just for “Can you see my screen?” Turn it into a stream of crowd-sourced ideas.
Throw out fun, focused prompts like:
- “Drop your best email marketing hack in five words or less.”
- “Name the one tool you can’t live without.”
After the webinar, pull those chat responses into:
- a word cloud for your recap
- a quote wall in your next session
- a “community tips” section in your blog or newsletter
3. Use built‑in surveys to shape what comes next
With surveys built into Cvent Webinar, you can capture gold while the session’s still top of mind.
Go beyond “rate this webinar” and ask:
- “What topic should we go deeper on next time?”
- “Which part of today’s session was most valuable — and why?”
Those answers can drive your next webinar theme, your next campaign, or even your next gated asset.
Mindset for 2026: Don’t treat Cvent Webinar’s polls, chat, and surveys as filler. Treat them as co-creators — tiny content machines baked into every session.
