Episode notes
Invite With Specifics To Get RSVPs
- Start invitations with specific dates, times, and small groups to get yes/no RSVPs.
- Scale only after you confirm a core group; vague 'anyone interested' asks fail.
Cap Tickets And Publish Interest Lists
- Build a visible interest list larger than available tickets and cap the event below demand.
- Scarcity and a public waitlist increase urgency and perceived value.
Own The Event Vision, Use Planners For Details
- Keep control of your brand experience; don't hand full leadership to event producers.
- Use event professionals for vibes but own the purpose, content, and financial logic.
