Hi Lee

Long time no see, I hope you are well, i see you are booked in for the next Liverpool Street gig. I agree with all of your points, I have already made a conscious decision to get more involved on the forum. It was a pleasure working with you when you were AL.

See you at LS

regards

Peter

Very Kind regards

Having been through three launches in ten months - Newport, Chepstow and Cwmbran two weeks ago, this information has been invaluable along the journey.

Each launch has been more succesful with more sign ups on the day and it is from combing all of the advice received and shared plus the following the 4N way.

I am almost sad that I have my 4 groups, I LOVE launches, getting the detail right through effective planning, preparation and checking, again and again.

Something that worked brilliantly for the Cwmbran launch was promoting the launch through Linked In groups. This bought in five visitors! We actively use Twitter to promote each meeting, promoting the team and speaker, this usually gets at least another booking in.

4N rocks ... I am ever so slightly addicted

4N meets are taking over the UK Google Map and there hasn't been a better time to get up and get to a group.
I totally understand that some group leaders and attendees haven't harnessed the power of the 4N forum so I thought I'd write a simple guide to promoting your group on the forum - remember though that offline is just as important.
These are just basic, but vital, steps and of course feel free to add any comments.

As soon as the group is confirmed place an overall topic in Promote Events
Give as much information as possible especially time/ date and venue
Don't forget to link to your group page
If possible include speaker details
Subscribe to your thread to be informed of any responses

Pre-event:
2 weeks before - revist the thread
Update details of how many places are left, (if any)
Have the speakers changed?

1 week before -
Same as above updating any information as possible but also add something info, thoughts, topic of conversation to get everyone excited about attending your event.

The day before -
Remind everyone that the event is tomorrow.
Ask anyone that has to cancel to contact you (as there is now a waiting list to book!)
Ask if there is anything specific that people would like to discuss/ announce or bring along

Day of event -
As soon as you get back to the office give a quick write up about the event.
Share your experiences, things that went well and even things that went bad!
Ask for feedback from visitors
Encourage people to book now for the next event (remember the link to the group page)

Remember - No-one likes over-hyping so don't use words like "THE BEST GROUP IN THE WORLD", "MISS THIS AND YOUR BUSINESS WILL DIE" etc

As a group leader it is your responsibility to gain exposure for your group.

These are just, what I think, are useful tips to help promote your event and make it a success.

Discuss.

Nice tip's there! Keeping good communication is a must.

Also it might be an idea on all correspondence (virbal and virtual) to offer them the opportunity to follow you on Twitter (make it visable) so 4N will always be in the forefront of thier mind. Just a thought.... Let me know if I can help maximise this for you.

Becks x
