You're hosting something — a tasting night, an anniversary, a new-collection preview — and flyers can't tell you who's coming. The Event Invite campaign puts the invitation in every follower's hands and collects RSVPs for you.

The pain: events are powerful — a single great night builds more loyalty than a month of quiet service — but promoting one is guesswork. Flyers and window posters reach whoever happens to walk by, social posts vanish in the scroll, and none of them answer the question that actually matters for planning: how many people are coming?
The Blinko way: the Event Invite campaign delivers your invitation directly to the people most likely to show up — your followers, customers who already chose to stay connected. You set the event title, the date and time, and a description; every follower receives the invite, and they can RSVP right from their phone. No printing, no guessing.
What it's built for:
- checkGrand openings and anniversary celebrations
- checkSeasonal events and holiday specials
- checkCommunity moments that build your brand — a salon's new-collection preview night, a spa's wellness evening, a studio's open class, a restaurant's tasting night
- checkAny specific day you want to concentrate high traffic
The RSVPs change how you plan: you know your headcount before you order the food, schedule the staff, or set up the chairs. And because invitees are followers, every attendee is someone you can thank afterwards and invite again next time — events become a rhythm, not a one-off gamble.
Expect a meaningful slice of your followers to RSVP, with actual attendance varying by event and reminder — so a nudge as the date approaches helps (a Drop the day before works well; see "Drops: broadcast messages to your followers"). Full setup details: "Campaign type: Event Invite".
