SayPro Audience Research and Data Collection Plan: Analyzing Historical Webinar Data

Objective:
To analyze historical data from past SayPro webinars in order to identify time-based patterns that have impacted attendance and engagement. This analysis will help to optimize scheduling for future webinars based on previous trends.

1. Data Collection and Analysis Approach

Objective of Analysis:

Understand the time-based trends in webinar attendance, such as time of day, day of the week, and time zone preferences.
Identify any patterns or correlations between webinar timing and engagement metrics (e.g., registration vs. attendance rate, participant engagement).
Gather insights into how seasonality or specific time zones have influenced webinar success.

Historical Data Sources:

Webinar Registration Data: Information on how many people registered for each past event.
Webinar Attendance Data: Number of attendees for each event, including any drop-off rates during the session.
Engagement Metrics: Data on how engaged participants were during past webinars (e.g., participation in polls, chats, or activities).
Post-Webinar Feedback: Responses from previous event surveys indicating satisfaction with timing and suggestions for improvement.

Data Collection Period:

This analysis will look at webinars conducted over the past 6 to 12 months, covering multiple time slots, days, and time zones to create a comprehensive dataset.

2. Data Points to Collect for Analysis

Here’s a breakdown of the key data points to be collected from past webinars:

a. Webinar Timing and Date

Webinar Date & Time: Exact time of each session, including day of the week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday).
Time Zone: The time zone in which the webinar was conducted and the regions it targeted.

b. Registration Data

Total Registrations: Number of people who registered for the webinar.
Geographical Distribution of Registrants: Breakdown of registrants by region/time zone.

c. Attendance Data

Total Attendance: Number of attendees who joined the webinar out of the total registrations.
Time-Based Attendance Patterns: Identify if attendance varied based on specific times (e.g., lower attendance in early morning sessions or mid-week).

d. Engagement Metrics

Engagement Rate: Percentage of attendees who actively participated in interactive elements (polls, chats, Q&A sessions).
Drop-off Rate: Percentage of participants who left the webinar early. This can be tied to specific points in the webinar to determine if timing impacts retention.

e. Post-Webinar Feedback

Preferred Time Feedback: Responses to post-webinar surveys regarding timing preferences.
Satisfaction Ratings for Timing: Survey questions that ask participants how satisfied they were with the timing of the event.

3. Steps for Analyzing Historical Data

Step 1: Gather Historical Webinar Data

Webinar Platforms: Extract data from webinar hosting platforms (e.g., Zoom, GoToWebinar, WebEx).
- This includes registration and attendance records, as well as engagement analytics.
Surveys & Feedback: Collect results from post-event feedback surveys that ask participants about their satisfaction with the timing.

Step 2: Categorize Data Based on Time Parameters

Categorize data by key time-based variables:
- Day of the Week
- Time of Day (e.g., morning, afternoon, evening)
- Time Zone of Registrants (regional distribution)

Step 3: Analyze Attendance Patterns

Compare total registrations vs. attendance numbers for different times of day and days of the week.
Look for patterns in attendance drops based on certain times or days.

Step 4: Cross-Reference with Engagement

Analyze how engagement rates are affected by time slots. For example:
- Are attendees more engaged during afternoon webinars versus morning ones?
- Do mid-week sessions see higher or lower engagement compared to weekends?

Step 5: Survey Analysis for Timing Preferences

Look for common feedback themes from post-event surveys related to timing preferences.
- Preferred times of day and days of the week based on participants’ responses.
- Feedback on time zone adjustments and whether the webinar timing was convenient for the region.

4. Key Metrics to Track and Analyze

Metric	Description	Data Source
Total Registrations	Number of participants who signed up for the webinar.	Registration Data
Total Attendance	Actual number of attendees who attended the webinar.	Attendance Data
Drop-off Rate	Percentage of attendees who left early.	Webinar Platform Analytics
Engagement Rate	Percentage of participants interacting with the webinar.	Engagement Metrics (polls, chats, Q&A)
Preferred Time (Survey)	Preferred webinar time based on audience feedback.	Post-Event Survey Feedback
Satisfaction with Timing	Satisfaction rating on the timing of the webinar.	Post-Event Survey Feedback
Regional Distribution	Geographical breakdown of registrants.	Registration Data
Time Zone Adjustments	Survey feedback on time zone adjustments and convenience.	Post-Event Survey Feedback

5. Data Analysis Process

Identify Time Slot Trends:
- Look for higher attendance during certain times of day or days of the week.
- Identify any specific time zones where webinars are more or less attended (e.g., certain regions may have low participation during early morning or late-night sessions).
Analyze Engagement with Time:
- Examine whether participants are more engaged at certain times of day (e.g., higher engagement in the afternoon versus early morning sessions).
- Track engagement drop-off to see if specific times correlate with participants leaving early or not interacting as much.
Survey Feedback Correlation:
- Analyze survey results to match preferred times with actual attendance and engagement. Are the preferred times aligning with the times when webinars have the highest engagement?
Seasonality Impact:
- Check if the season (e.g., holidays, summer) has impacted attendance, engagement, and preferred times.

6. Reporting Findings

After collecting and analyzing the data, the findings will be compiled into a Date and Time Analysis Report, which will include:

Patterns of high attendance at specific times, days, and time zones.
Engagement trends based on different timing scenarios (e.g., best times for maximizing engagement).
Time zone considerations and feedback from participants about how time zones affected their ability to attend.
Suggestions for optimal times for future webinars based on historical data.
