Make Your MICE Event a Must-Attend: Tips to Get RSVPs

Do you need help finding ways to get people to RSVP for your upcoming MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events) event? The truth is there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes down to getting a 100% attendance rate - but that doesn’t mean there aren’t strategies available! In this blog post, we'll explore some tips that can help boost attendance levels at conferences and exhibitions so you can ace your MICE event!

1. Personalize your invitation
One of the best ways to make an impression is to be given a uniquely tailored invitation. Be sure to address and appeal to your target audience when writing your invitation. When people are made to feel important, they are more inclined to accept your invitation.

2. Set a deadline
Establishing a cut-off time for RSVPs will motivate guests to do so in a timely fashion. In this busy event season, sending out invitations early will ensure that recipients can make time in their schedules for your event.

3. Provide incentives.
Incentives like door prizes, awards, and freebies can boost attendance. You can also encourage people to RSVP early by offering discounts or even free entry. During the busy MICE season when you're up against other event planners, this tactic will be crucial.

4. Use social media
It's past time you started using social media to drum up interest in your event. You can spread the word about your event and get more people to sign up by using social media. Post a link to your preferred social media site (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) to collect RSVPs.

5. Send reminders
Send out gentle reminders about the event and the RSVP deadline to invitees who have yet to respond. This will help ensure that people don't forget about the event and that they RSVP in time.

6. Follow up
When swamped with work, it's easy to forget about a social invitation. Invitees who yet to answer promptly should be followed up with. In some cases, a personal phone call or email can be very effective in getting those last-minute RSVPs.

7. Make it easy
Keep it simple! Ensure that responding to the invitation is quick and easy. You should provide participants with clear information and employ several RSVP methods familiar to your invitees. This will keep people from becoming fed up and giving up on replying to your event.

8. Track responses
Keeping tabs on RSVPs will help you stay on top of things and give you a leg start on any last-minute adjustments or contingencies you may need to make.
