Tracy Graziani, “Geek Executive Officer” at Graziani Multimedia, has had great success with webinars, for her own business and for her clients. But in a Zoom-weary post-pandemic world - a new approach was required, to engage prospects, encourage them to attend online events and to stay engaged.

Xoxoday provides an innovative way to add the gifting of rewards to prospects and customers, integrated with HubSpot.

Parth Ruparelia, Product Partnerships leader from Xoxoday worked with Tracy to help use Xoxoday Rewards in innovative ways to increase webinar ROI.

Together we explore the current challenges of engaging customers across the HubSpot Flywheel, to attract engage and delight.

Tracy has a real story to share, of how she used Xoxoday to attract, engage and delight her customers, using Xoxoday gifting before, during and after the event.

A wonderful takeaway from this example is that the budget which normally would have been consumed by pay-per-click ads, instead is passed to customers through gifted rewards.

I hope you enjoy our group discussion.
