Everything you need to use Zoom Webinar for customer engagement
If you have Zoom Pro, you can use it as a webinar! Super easy. Learn how here. This is an under-appreciated virtual selling tool.
Topic Ideas to engage interested home buyers using Zoom Webinars:
- Invite your Community interest list to hear you interview the Principal of the school that draws home buyers to your area. Talk about their plans for eventually getting kids back to school. Call it "The Principals Office".
Have a weekend cooking demonstration by a Chef in a local restaurant near your Communities, and feature a recipe everyone can use at home right now. Call it "Kitchen Conversations". - If there's an amazing preserve or park near your Community, interview one of the many Instagram photographers from NatGeo, and share ideas about enjoying the great outdoors. Call it a "Blue Sky Summit".
- All it takes is a topic, an interviewee, and a simple email invite for a webinar-style Zoom.

This is where the virtual experience blends into real human contact...safely. How are you making the experience extra special for consumers? A housewarming gift at this point in the buyer's experience is a little piece of icing-on-the-cake joy. If you'd rather deliver the welcome gift on move-in day, think about an activity book to ease the stress of signing with kids in the back seat. You can brand it "curbside kids". Like a happy meal for the brain.
