Go Overboard on Mentioning Place and Time when you create Events
Something I’m noticing about peoples’ posts on social media and via email is that they often assume that the reader knows where they’re located. With about 4,000 FB friends — hi, everyone! — I’m constantly intrigued by friends’ offerings, but often don’t know where they are located. Even friends who post something who I know are local — the events often don’t mention the date/time/location in the event title.
The problem with this is that one then needs to click on a link to find out that, scroll scroll, the event is located too far away or on a date that is not available. So, go ahead, make everyones’ day and in the subject line put these things:
- An awesome title
- Place
- Date
- Time
I know, it seems like a lot — but if you get into this habit, I promise you more people will happily attend and share your events so that they are full up. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out in the comments section below.
Happy event throwing. Oh, and to make sure the event goes well for everyone, especially the host, click here.
