Let’s get right to business and dive into how Engagez can provide opportunities for you to grow your business with our newest product feature EZ Live!
EZ Live
EZ Live is an easy-to-use platform that lets you create your own brand-forward experience. With templates that are totally customizable and monetization features, EZ Live is perfect for one-off programs or a whole series of webinars or briefings. One EZ Live instance can host multiple micro-sites, registration pages, separate email campaigns, and separate analytics—allowing you to create an entirely new kind of engagement with your customers and prospects.
Webinar producers can turn on the greenroom and host speakers, check audio and video, and upload presentation decks before going “onstage.” EZ Live offers a full suite of engagement tools available that can be customized for each program. Live polling, Q&A, reactions, chat, handout downloads, surveys, one-on-one video meeting requests, demo requests, and post-webinar breakout rooms are all available options.
EZ Live features are not only meant to enhance webinar experiences but also provide exciting ways to monetize and increase your revenue that make the overall experience well worth the monetization tactics you choose to deploy!
