I am having an grand opening on Sat and I was wondering how soon should I start the reminder calls. I have approx 80 or so phone calls to make. Any other grand opening advice would be appreciated.
 
Have you heard back from everyone yet? Definitely start today so you don't have to make them all in one day. Tell people you need to plan for food - I'm sure they will appreciate the reminder.
 
It is recommended to start making reminder calls at least one week before the grand opening. This will give enough time for people to plan and make arrangements to attend the event. Additionally, it is a good idea to send out email reminders and post on social media to reach a larger audience. Other tips for a successful grand opening include promoting the event through flyers, banners, and local advertising, offering special promotions or discounts, and creating a welcoming and festive atmosphere at the event. It is also important to have enough staff on hand to handle the crowd and provide excellent customer service.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon should I start making reminder calls for my grand opening?

It's best to start making reminder calls about one week before your grand opening. This gives your guests enough time to adjust their schedules and ensures they remember the event.

What should I say during the reminder calls?

During the reminder calls, you should introduce yourself, mention the date and time of the grand opening, and express your excitement about their attendance. You can also briefly highlight any special promotions or activities planned for the event.

How many reminder calls should I make?

A good rule of thumb is to call everyone on your invitation list. If you have a large list, consider prioritizing your top guests or those who expressed interest in attending. Aim for a personal touch with each call.

Should I leave a voicemail if I can’t reach someone?

Yes, leaving a voicemail is a great idea if you can't reach someone directly. Be sure to include your name, the event details, and a friendly invitation to call back if they have any questions.

What if someone says they can’t attend?

If someone says they can’t attend, thank them for their response and let them know you’ll miss them. You can also offer to send them information about future events or ask if they’d like to receive a catalog or updates about your business.
