Getting people to club events...

["Marc A. Levy" <malevy@xxxx>]

Last week there was a discussion about getting people to come to club events.

This week I have seen a number of messages about clubs and events around the country including "surprises" to be featured at the events.

IMHO, if you are having some special item (or person, or discussion, etc) of interest at your event the best way to get the most mileage out of it is to TELL US WHAT IT IS! I don't know about others, but the tease of a "surprise" does not generate much additional interest going to a particular event because hyped up surprises are usually a disappointment.  

The whole thing seems so silly, like we are in grade school.. "I know something you don't know!".


SO; Ken, Dan, Rich.... What are your big surprises for the events you have planned? Maybe you can increase your attendance if we knew what they were!
