At our first Coffee, Chat & Collab, we all shared an event tip that others could go away and try. Mine was a really simple one. 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁. Don’t just put your event in the calendar, write a post about it and then sit there hoping everyone spots it. They probably won’t. People are busy. They miss posts. They forget what they saw yesterday. And sometimes they fully intend to come to something and then completely forget about it. 😂 So when I have an event coming up, I message as many members as I reasonably can and send them the 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸. Not a huge sales pitch. Just a friendly personal invitation letting them know what’s happening and giving them an easy way to join. Because there’s quite a difference between someone scrolling past: “𝗜’𝗺 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆.” …and receiving: “𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀, 𝘀𝗼 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂.” One is an announcement. The other feels like an invitation. And if you want people at your event, sometimes you need to stop waiting for them to find it… 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. ☕🔥 Have you tried personally inviting your members to your events?
