Social notifications provide Freebinar users the option of automatically promoting scheduled webinars on Facebook and Twitter. The result of this integration is a powerful webinar promotional tool. “There are hundreds of new webinars created each day. Freebinar gives small businesses and non-profit organizations marketing tools to help them stand out from the rest of the pack,” said Costin Tuculescu, CEO of Freebinar.
