Do you keep trying till you get some one, or just leave a message? I am still looking for the equivilant of Postcalls for Canada so right now I am calling myself.

Thanks

I use postcalls.

But if I did them myself, I would be happy to leave a message.
 
I prefer leaving a message (much better than getting someone who is not the invited guest.) I am able to call in the morning (9:30/10:00) and that's a good time to get mostly answering machines.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Do reminder calls require persistent follow-up?

Yes, reminder calls often benefit from persistent follow-up. Consistent communication helps reinforce the importance of the event or appointment and keeps it top of mind for the recipient.

Is it enough to just send a message for reminders?

While sending a message can be effective, it may not always convey the urgency or importance of the reminder. A personal call can provide a more engaging and direct way to communicate.

How often should I follow up after a reminder call?

The frequency of follow-up depends on the context. Generally, a follow-up within a few days is advisable, and then you can adjust based on the recipient's response or engagement level.

What are the benefits of making reminder calls instead of just sending texts?

Reminder calls allow for a personal touch, enabling you to gauge the recipient's interest and answer any questions they may have. This interaction can lead to higher engagement and commitment.

Can I use both reminder calls and messages effectively?

Absolutely! Using a combination of reminder calls and messages can be very effective. A call can provide a personal connection, while a message serves as a written reminder that the recipient can refer back to.
