Sponsoring a Webinar

The Frost & Sullivan’s Events division delivers cutting-edge business strategies and solutions to its executive clients through interactive forums over the Internet called Webinars. By combining the immediacy of the Web with the impact of streaming audio and video, these one-hour, topic-specific seminars are packed with information and insights needed to address real-world business needs.

Sponsor a Frost & Sullivan Webinar
Through live Q&A and advanced polling capabilities, participants have the opportunity to interact, share, and exchange real-world experiences and challenges in real time, with senior-level executives and key industry analysts discussing new perspectives, solutions, best practices, and key considerations through presenting actual case studies.

Each Webinar is slated for 60 minutes in length, and Frost & Sullivan partners with industry and trade publications/associations, as well as our leading industry expert, to present perspectives, industry forecasts, and value-added content on key niche markets driven by a customized agenda of your choice. 

Frost & Sullivan is recognized in the industry as a global market, consulting and growth strategies firm. We are known and respected for our unbiased, independent third-party perspective, and are not in the business of selling software but selling information. Based upon this approach, how we brand and market the program, and our reputation in the industry, we’ve been consistent in our ability to surpass the industry averages for both registration and attendance.

Frost & Sullivan’s Webinars provide a cost-effective, lead-generating platform designed to generate new sales opportunities, increase product and brand awareness, and shorten your sales cycles, leading to great ROI.

1. What is a Frost & Sullivan Webinar?

A Frost & Sullivan Webinar is a complimentary (free to register and attend) content-driven program 60 minutes in duration.

2. How is the program designed?

It is generally broken into four, 15-minute segments:

Segment 1 – A Frost & Sullivan analyst provides an industry overview.

Segment 2 – A case study of a company that has successfully utilized and implemented services and solutions in the industry arena.

**This company will be the client of a sponsor and will not mention your company’s name, but more, discuss the services you were able to implement keeping in line with our “content-driven” and “Frost & Sullivan” branded program.

Segment 3 – The sponsoring company will tell the story of how they were able to identify the client’s needs and challenges, offer the solutions and implement the services, allowing this client to garner the incredible returns and ROI they were able to achieve.

Segment 4 – Q & A

3. How do we market a Webinar?

Once your company makes the decision to partner with Frost & Sullivan to produce a Webinar, we will immediately begin planning. One of the topics we will spend some time on is defining your target market for this event – the scope can be as large (any company, any size) or as narrow (Fortune 100) as you’d like. It’s up to you! Once the market is defined, we will tap our database of more than 80,000 accounts and use our resources to leverage existing and forge new alliances with industry associations and publications to reach relevant and targeted prospects. Marketing efforts will include a mix of vehicles: email marketing, print advertisement, marketing at industry meetings, etc.

4. How many leads can I expect?

The amount of registrations you receive will depend on the target audience you define. Obviously, a company seeking only Fortune 100 will receive less registrations then the company that does not define size. That being said, the average rate is 40-60 percent. Typical industry standard is 30 percent.

5. Customization, and what kind of leads will I receive?

Everything from the registration page, to the programs content, to the interactive polling questions is customized, allowing your company to point the direction. Your company may add 2-3 questions to the registration page, which will help you disseminate between the A, B, and C leads. Additionally, you will receive all of the questions asked during the Q&A period (historically 40-85 questions), as well as how participants answered your custom polling questions, providing you with a prospect list that’s not just made up of names, but a detailed profile and preview of their needs.

6. What am I provided with at the conclusion of the Webinar?

At the end of the day, you are provided with all of the registrants’ contact information and a one-year archive of the presentation, to be housed both on your site and our site. In addition, you will have access to all relevant contact information for additional registrants who log on to the archived versions of the program, which we will continue to market to the end.
