1. Objective

The goal of Pre-Event Communication in SayPro guest management is to ensure that all invited attendees are informed, engaged, and properly prepared ahead of the event. Effective communication increases attendance, reduces no-shows, and enhances the overall experience by setting clear expectations and providing important event information in advance.

2. Purpose

• Ensure that guests are formally invited with sufficient notice.
• Confirm attendance through timely RSVP follow-up.
• Provide essential details (venue, timing, dress code, parking, etc.).
• Build anticipation and professionalism through structured communication.
• Reduce guest confusion and support smooth on-site operations.

3. Key Components of Pre-Event Communication

  • RSVP instructions and deadline
• Delivery channels:
  • Email (official templates via SayPro CRM or marketing tools)

• Assign a Guest Management Coordinator to monitor responses.
• Send RSVP confirmations immediately after submission.
• Categorize guest responses: Attending / Not Attending / Awaiting Response.
• Maintain a live RSVP database for planning logistics (name tags, seating, catering).
