It is also in every single one of our headlines for the names of our group. So it says &#8220;Awkwardly Zen: a safe space for your spiritual path, Atlanta.&#8221; So each one of the groups has the tagline. It&#8217;s also on business cards and on everything else we promote.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How can I get sponsors?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>We are looking at starting the sponsorship program which is new for us. Right now, we are looking for more of our partners who might want an extra level of advertising and starting with them. We&#8217;re also looking at the different metaphysical stores that are in our areas as an opportunity. We are reaching out to these stores and offering them the chance to connect with our community of 1,800 people in Denver. We believe this opportunity can be mutually beneficial, allowing them to expand their reach while offering our members valuable products and services. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Could you explain the pinned feature event more? <\/strong>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Using pinned events is a strategy we only implemented in the last year, but it has proven to be incredibly beneficial. Normally, when we host an event, it lasts for about an hour or an hour and a half. However, we discovered that Meetup allows us to extend the duration of an event by setting an end time for multiple days or even an entire month. This opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for event planning. For instance, let&#8217;s say we have a special event lined up for the month of July. Instead of creating individual events for each day, we can create one event for the entire month and feature it by pinning it to the top of our Meetup page. This way, every time someone visits our page, the first thing they see is the pinned event, which increases its visibility and prominence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>To make the most of this feature, we have found that designing a graphic that resembles an advertisement works really well. The graphic catches people&#8217;s attention and entices them to click on the event. By utilizing the pinned event and optimizing the graphic design and event description, we have been able to attract more attendees and drive traffic to our website, where visitors can find comprehensive details and make reservations easily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.awkwardlyzen.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Website<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beawkwardlyyou\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/awkwardlyzen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Youtube<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the Awkwardly Zen location closest to you on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/pro\/awkwardly-zen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meetup Pro network page<\/a> and get access to over 30 free online events every month plus periodic in-person events in your area! <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn more about using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/category\/meetup-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meetup to build a sales funnel for your business<\/a> in Meetup&#8217;s four-part series on the Community Matters Blog. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\"><p>Learn how a sales funnel is a powerful tool to turn potential customers to loyal clients in this Meetup Live recording.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":16459,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[127,52,44],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
