Post in our community at least a month before the date. This is the most effective way to reach local members. Let us know and we can also share it through our wider channels to help spread the word.
A few other things that help:
- Give people a clear date, time, and location from the start. Vague plans rarely attract commitment.
- If you are undecided on the date, offer two or three options and use a simple polling tool like Doodle to find what works for most people.
- Send a reminder a week before and again a few days before. People are busy and diaries move around.
- If your area has a local cardiac rehabilitation service, they may also be willing to mention the event to relevant patients.
