Turn one-time attendees into a thriving community.
Send a thank you
Within 24 hours of your event:
- Message attendees: Use our event messaging feature
- Be genuine: Share what you enjoyed about the event
- Include photos: If you took any (with permission)
- Ask for feedback: What worked? What could improve?
Capture the momentum
Strike while the iron is hot:
- Announce the next event: Even a tentative date and time
- Gauge interest: "Would you come to a monthly version of this?"
- Connect people: Encourage attendees to follow each other on the platform
- Share highlights: Not a brag—just celebrating what you built together
Build ongoing connection
Turn events into community:
- Regular cadence: Monthly or fortnightly events build habits
- Same time, same place: Predictability helps people plan
- Core group: Identify regular attendees who might help organise
- Between-event content: Share relevant articles, local news, etc.
Learn and iterate
Improve with each event:
- Review feedback: Look for patterns in what people say
- Check the numbers: What was your RSVP-to-attendance rate?
- Ask your regulars: They'll have insights you might miss
- Try new things: Different venue? Different format? Keep experimenting
