Hi! Our community is new (soft launch Oct. 2020 and then live to all customers & partners Jan. 2021) and we're starting to host a few community-only events. Our community is private - for our customers and partners only - so we only have ~150 members to-date.
I'm planning a virtual "Tea & Topics" roundtable discussion, focused on a specific topic - in hopes to bring people together to network and learn from each other's experiences. I'm also planning an "Ask Me Anything" with our CEO.
Any tips on getting people excited, registered, and to actually attend? I've limited the Tea & Topics to try and create a little FOMO and offered a $5 e-card for a tea/coffee. For both events, I've asked employees to remind our customers about these exclusive events, highlighted them in a monthly newsletter, and posted the events as discussions so people can leave questions ahead of time.
Thanks!
