SayPro Date and Time Selection Plan (By 01-08-2025)

Objective:
To finalize the most effective date and time for the SayPro webinar by ensuring it aligns with the target audience’s time zones, availability, and global considerations. This will ensure the highest possible attendance and engagement while accommodating global participants across various regions and time zones.

1. Key Considerations for Date and Time Selection

To determine the optimal date and time, the following factors need to be carefully considered:

a. Audience Time Zones

Identify the primary time zones of the target audience. This will include North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia based on the historical data, survey results, and regional distribution of previous webinars.
Ensure the selected date and time are not too early or too late for any critical time zones, which may affect attendance, especially in regions with a large concentration of attendees.

b. Audience Availability

Ensure the selected timing aligns with when participants are typically available, based on survey feedback and historical webinar trends.
Consider the workweek schedule of the corporate audience, avoiding the early hours or late afternoons, which might conflict with business hours in certain regions.

c. Global Event Considerations

Avoid scheduling the webinar on or around major global holidays, such as New Year’s Day, Christmas, Labor Day, or other significant international events that could reduce attendance.
Avoid peak travel times or seasonal holidays (e.g., summer vacations in Europe and North America) when employees might be away or distracted.

d. Regional Preferences

Take into account regional preferences (e.g., do attendees in Europe prefer afternoon webinars, while those in North America prefer mid-morning sessions?).
Select a time that is likely to be convenient for multiple regions (e.g., a time that works for both North American and European participants, while being at a reasonable hour for Asia).

2. Audience Research and Data Collection Review

To ensure the webinar date and time selection is backed by data, key insights from the following sources will be used:

Survey Feedback: Review survey results from the target audience regarding their preferred webinar timing.
Focus Group Insights: Incorporate feedback from any focus group sessions conducted with representative members of the target audience.
Historical Webinar Data: Analyze previous webinar data to identify any time-related trends that led to higher attendance and engagement.
Global Time Zone Analysis: Use global time zone tools (e.g., World Time Buddy or Time Zone Converter) to ensure selected times work well for all major regions.

3. Final Date and Time Selection Process

Step 1: Gather Audience Feedback

Ensure survey and focus group responses are compiled, focusing on preferred days of the week and times of day for webinars.
Categorize feedback into time zones and prioritize the most common responses.

Step 2: Cross-Reference Historical Data

Review previous webinar data to see when the highest attendance occurred and which time slots had the best engagement rates.
Focus on times that worked for global participation and identify patterns (e.g., were afternoon sessions more successful than morning ones for certain regions?).

Step 3: Analyze Global Time Zone Compatibility

Use a time zone tool to ensure the webinar time fits a majority of the global audience. For instance, a mid-day time slot in the US Eastern Time Zone may be a good fit for both Europe and North America, but it might be too early for Asia.
Consider time zones in regions such as Australia, Asia, and Europe to determine if there is an overlap that allows for broad participation.

Step 4: Avoid Conflicts with Major Global Events

Review the global calendar for any holidays or major events that could overlap with the webinar, such as public holidays, national observances, or global conferences.
Ensure that the selected date does not coincide with key industry events, as this may reduce attendance.

Step 5: Confirm Stakeholder Availability

Share potential dates and times with stakeholders (e.g., guest speakers, organizers) to ensure they are available and aligned with the selected date.

Step 6: Finalize Date and Time

Based on the collected data and analysis, choose the final date and time that offers the best balance of accessibility for all regions and maximizes attendance.

4. Final Date and Time Selection Criteria

Criteria	Details
Time Zone Alignment	Ensure the selected time is suitable for participants from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Availability Based on Feedback	Ensure the time aligns with the majority of the target audience’s availability, especially based on survey results.
Global Considerations	Avoid major holidays and global events that could conflict with the selected time.
Audience Engagement Trends	Select a time that has shown higher engagement levels based on past webinars (e.g., times with high interaction and lower drop-off rates).
Day of the Week Preferences	Ensure the time aligns with audience preferences for specific days of the week (e.g., mid-week vs. weekends).

5. Sample Date and Time Selection

After considering all the data and ensuring the time aligns with the audience’s availability and global considerations, a sample final selection might be:

Date: Wednesday, August 6, 2025
Time:3:00 PM UTC
- This time is expected to be a good fit for attendees across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.
- For example, this timing will be 8:00 AM in New York (ET), 2:00 PM in London, and 10:00 PM in Singapore.

This timing allows for broad participation from the target regions, and the chosen Wednesday date avoids the busy days typically associated with Monday or Friday.
