Hi all,
My Question is:
Does anyone send out "sorry you couldn't attend" emails from the website once people have responded "sorry" they could not attend?
Thanks
 
I do, and sometimes I will get an outside order, sometimes not. Do it, what have you got to lose?
 
Definitely! I always use this feature, to let them know they can still order!
 
I do also. I usually do them a few days before the show- so I don't have to do them individually and forget who I sent an email to or have to look it up. I try to send all of the "sorry's" out at that same time- about 3 days before. And yes- I've gotten a few outside orders because of it.
 
I usually do. Its just a entle nudge to get them to support the host.
 
I thought the website automatically pops a "sorry you can't make it, but click here to place an order" as soon as they say click on can't attend.
