So much to say! I always suggest conducting a resident survey and asking them an open ended question asking their ideas for events they would like to attend.
Also, events aren’t 100% about the turnout. It’s marketing. You want to promote it everywhere, well before the event, while at the event post on social how much you all are having, and then talk about how much fun it was. (Pretend like it was a packed house no matter what.)
Remember our residents are just as busy as we are. So, they might see the posts and info but have plans. FOMO is real.
There is value in this.
