If your business frequently organizes events, one of your biggest challenges is to make sure that they are attended by as many people as possible. To achieve this, communicating effectively and consistently is a MUST.☝️ One of the best ways to do this is by sending event reminder emails.

Keep reading and you will learn what event reminder emails are and why they are so important for the success of your events. 💸 We'll also provide you with some templates and tips on writing event reminders and introduce you to an event reminder email bot that will do all the dirty work for you.

What is an event reminder email?

Think of event reminder emails as a friendly nudge that keeps attendees excited about your event. Quick email reminders provide recipients with all the essential event details, such as date, time, location, and agenda, ensuring that your event stays at the top of their heads. 🤓

Here’s what it looks like from the recipient's end:

Why should you send an event reminder email?

A well-crafted event reminder email will not only increase your attendance, but also boost engagement and make sure your attendees are fully informed and ready for the big day! 🔥

It can also:

  • Improve the overall experience of the event
  • Maintain communication with potential clients
  • Avoid last-minute cancellations and no-shows

Checklist: How to write an event reminder email

To write an email reminder that truly hits the mark, simply follow this checklist.👇

  • Start with a catchy subject line. Something like “Last chance to join our top industry professionals. Don’t miss out on [Event name]!” or “Only 2 days left until the most exciting event of the year. Join us now for [Event name]”.
  • Be concise and use a friendly and professional tone. Your email reminder should be straight to the point and sound professional, yet approachable.
  • Make it personalized. Depending on the type of the event, address the receiver by first or last name.
  • Include event details. Make sure to mention the event's time, date, and location.
  • Highlight the value of attending the event. Mention key benefits and incentives for attending the event.
  • Add a clear call-to-action. Either ask recipients to register for the event or add it to the calendar.
  • Make it easy to save the date. Have an “add to calendar” button or a calendar link.
  • Provide a link to FAQ or contact details. In case a receiver has any questions, they can easily access the information.
  • Send a reminder at the right time. The time you send reminders can affect the open rate and your attendance. When to send a reminder depends on the type of the event. For webinars it can be a few days and a couple of hours before the event. For in-person events, it can be a week or a few days in advance.
