Webinars are everywhere right now—and for good reason.
They’re a powerful way to connect, teach, and share value in real time. But even the most exciting webinar topic won’t get far without the right promotion.
That’s where webinar emails come in. Whether you’re planning your first online event or looking to boost attendance for your next session, getting your emails right is a crucial step.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly what works (and why), and share real examples from too B2B SaaS companies to inspire your next send.
Let’s make your next webinar invite your best one yet.
How to craft an irresistible webinar email
A great webinar email starts with clarity, relevance, and a clear promise of value. Your webinar invitation email should lead with a strong, benefit-driven webinar title—something that instantly answers “Why should I care?” Add a brief description that teases the content without overwhelming, followed by bold, well-placed call to action buttons to register.
The top-performing emails (like those from Loom, Zapier, and Grammarly) use clean layouts, highlight key points with bullet points, and make the registration link impossible to miss. Including a headshot or short intro from the webinar host can add a human touch.
It’s also smart to hint at exclusive content, valuable insights, or even a replay option, especially if it's a free webinar. Whether you use plain text or a polished email template, make sure it’s visually cohesive and aligns with your brand. The goal? Make your invite email feel like a personal nudge, not a mass blast.
Make reminder emails work smarter, not harder
You’ve sent the invite—now it’s time to remind people. Reminder emails are key to boosting attendance, especially as your upcoming webinar draws near. Timing is everything. I usually send one 24 hours before, and another a couple hours ahead of the session. Just enough to nudge, not nag.
Keep your email content short and helpful. Reconfirm the event details—think webinar topic, date, start time, and a clickable registration link in case they still need to register. A quick brief introduction from the webinar host can add a personal touch and increase trust.
Try subject lines that are clear, timely, and benefit-driven—think along the lines of what's in it for the reader. And if you’re targeting different segments, tailor the reminders based on interests or stage in the funnel.
Done right, reminder emails don’t just increase conversion rates—they help people actually show up and engage in your best webinar yet.
Follow up email tactics that keep attendees engaged
The follow up email is your chance to continue the conversation and deliver real value. Whether you're writing to webinar attendees or no-shows, this is where the relationship deepens. Start by expressing gratitude—thank them for joining your recent webinar, or let them know you missed them if they couldn’t attend live.
💡 If your webinar brought in leads, this is also a golden moment to move them down the funnel—consider offering a free trial, discount, or a valuable resource tied to your product. One small incentive can spark real action.
Then, get into the good stuff. Share a recording link, your key takeaways, and any additional resources like slides or links. Don’t forget a quick note requesting feedback—it helps shape your future webinars.

This one is my favorite! Grammarly’s invite is sleek, smart, and data-driven—just like their brand. It opens strong with compelling stats (AI users are 80% faster!) and a catchy webinar title: Trailblazers of Transformation.
The email balances authority (big names like Smartsheet and The Harris Poll) with actionable promises, like scaling AI fluency and boosting team performance. The “Secure Your Seat” CTA pops, while the soft “Register anyway” for the replay keeps FOMO in check. Clean layout, clear value. Nailed it.

Braze goes bold and bright with a vibrant hero image and a snappy title: Turning Metrics into Momentum. The copy smartly frames the pain point—too much data, not enough insight—then promises actionable value.

Lemlist nails the balance of practical and personable in this webinar sequence. The invite kicks things off with a relatable challenge and solid social proof (Sam’s 220K+ followers), instantly building trust.
Key benefits are clearly laid out and echoed again in the confirmation email, which helpfully includes calendar links to lock in attendance. The reminder keeps up the energy with visual bullet points, urgency, and a bold red CTA.
That said, there are slight design discrepancies between emails in the sequence—differences in formatting, spacing, and visual style that stand out.
Maintaining consistency across reminders is important for a cohesive brand experience, and tightening that up would help these already strong emails feel even more polished.

Lucid’s invite is crisp, professional, and confidence-driven—just like its brand. The subject line teases exclusivity (“Announcing Lucid’s future”), while the subheader reinforces value with product updates and training.

Surfer – Great value, off spacing
Surfer’s webinar invite delivers a strong value proposition—helping users optimize content for better rankings—and it’s smart to use a live session to walk through key features and answer questions in real time.
The message is clear and the content is structured to highlight what’s in it for the reader. That said, while the concept and copy are solid, the design could use a bit more polish. The spacing feels off in places, which slightly disrupts the visual flow. Overall, it’s a good email with room for visual improvement.

Gong takes a refreshing route with a plain text-style email—standing out from the sea of polished HTML designs. It feels more human, like a personal note from Dylan rather than a marketing blast. The message is clear, benefit-driven, and low on fluff, making it easy to digest.
The casual tone and direct CTA work well for busy sales teams. It’s a smart experiment—an A/B test against a designed version could reveal some fun insights.
OptinMonster – Feature-led replay reuse
OptinMonster smartly recycles a past webinar to spotlight how its personalization features actually work—great move for showing value without needing a live session. The email breaks down tactics clearly (like Smart Tags and Geolocation) and gives a solid preview of what you’ll learn.
That said, it’s a bit on the long side. A tighter format or trimmed-down version might help keep attention all the way to the end, especially for busier readers.
Google Workspace – Engaging webinar preview
This email from Google Workspace keeps things clean and to the point—just like you’d expect. The visuals do a solid job showing Gemini in action across Chat and Meet, which helps make the abstract feel real.
The copy is brief but effective, positioning the webinar as an exclusive peek into “collaboration superpowers.” It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be. Overall, a strong, on-brand invite that knows exactly what it wants you to do: register.
