It works, sort of, until the event ends and the account goes quiet for three months. That's the gap costing you attendees you already earned. Before: Give people a reason to belong, not just attend Ticket-focused posts ask for a ...
The gap between summer wrap-up and holiday bookings feels like a breather. It isn't. It's a decision point, and most business managers make the wrong one by default.
