Here is a fact about webinar marketing: Thursday is the best day for webinar attendance, followed closely by Wednesday.

There are a lot of facts to learn about webinars, from the best time to attend to what tools practitioners use to record video. Fortunately, you can find all of them in the ON24 2019 Webinar Benchmarks Report.
This year’s benchmarks report assesses the trends behind webinar use in 2018, evaluating everything from the best day to send promotional emails (Wednesday) to which webinar formats are taking off with practitioners (video adoption, for example, jumped by 16 percent).
But the 2019 edition of ON24’s Webinar Benchmarks Report is a little different. We not only included a quantitative assessment of the state of webinars circa 2018, but we also asked our community members what they think about webinars today and how they are actually using webinars.

- 76% of respondents say webinars allow them to drive more leads
- 86% of participants say they run up to 150 webinars in a given year
- 89% of those offering webinar-based training say they can easily scale programs
