  • 1.  Before you Leave email

    Posted 05-16-2023 15:23

    Does anyone have any examples, templates and/or guidelines to share for a "Before you Leave" email to send to attendees prior to their event start?
    I feel like our attendees don't even open these emails and there is a lot of important information!
    What do you use for a subject line for these?

    Also looking for examples/templates of the "Confirmation" email
    Thank you!

    Hi Vicki,

    That is a challenge! Here are a few non-traditional subject lines my clients or I have used over the years in hopes of grabbing their attention:

    Ready to go? Here's info you should know!
    Your trip shouldn't start without this!
    Do you have what you need to join us?
    Read what you need before you take off!
    Don't leave home without it... important info for your trip

    Some of these are longer than the recommended length, but whatever shows in the preview may be enough to pull them in? 

    In reference to the confirmation, I don't usually make a lot of changes to the Cvent template, aside from taking out the "registration info" widget and putting in the "All Registration Information" data tag instead. I've also been adding in the new calendar invite links recently.

    Hi Vicki! To add on to Tori's great response, I wanted to share an example of our Know Before You Go and Registration Confirmation emails that we use for our Customer Success Groups!  And you're totally able to use data tags in place of specific info such as session date/time, location etc. 

    As for subject lines, I may have to use some of Tori's suggestions as they're better than mine :)

    Please let me know if you have any other questions and good luck with your next event!
