Designing the offer first ensures that all content and speakers are aligned to support the offer, creating a seamless experience that maximizes conversions.
On average, it takes about two and a half events for someone to purchase a high-ticket offer, such as a $15,000 or above package.
Virtual events can be just as effective by ensuring they are live, engaging, and interactive, with active chat participation and camera usage to build trust and momentum.
Marketing for a virtual event should ramp up about seven to 10 days before the event, with 40-50% of the budget spent in the last three days to maximize opt-ins and show rates.
Organizers can use text messaging and emails to bring attendees back into the room for key offers, as seen with 393 people re-entering the room and 93 of them making purchases.

For smaller events, Bill recommends focusing on the right audience, even if it means fewer attendees, as this leads to higher conversion rates and better overall results.
Bill uses data to track who is in the room and who isn't, then employs text messages and emails to bring people back for key offers, ensuring they don't miss the opportunity to buy.
