Boosting event attendance
Student organizations are constantly dreaming up the ultimate event for their campus. But no matter how great the event is, it won’t matter unless people actually show up.
Many student leaders have been disappointed by low attendance at the events they throw. Sometimes students scramble to increase attendance by trying things that help a little but ultimately miss the mark. Try offering free food, prizes to raffle or putting out more emails or flyers… but these usually aren’t the ideal answers. Pete Mockaitis, leadership junkie and speaker, suggests that groups focus more on making one-on-one invitations to friends and interested parties. By charging each of your members to extend many personal invitations, you’ll likely boost attendance at your next event.
