Emerging from hibernation · Daily Email House

Emerging from hibernation

After a long and lonely sojourn in my little home office cave, I emerged today, blinking and squinting in the sunlight, to attend my first IRL networking event since before COVID.

It was a very last minute decision and I came super unprepared, without so much as a business card. But I'm glad I went because it reminded me that it's nice to spend time with live humans! And you never know which random connection can get you that dream client or partner.

I'm now considering attending another local event on Wednesday, but I want to be a little more prepared and use this as a way to grow my email list.

So I'm wondering:

Has anyone here ever used a networking event to grow their list? How did you do it?

Should I create a special opt in page and offer targeted to the people at the event (in this case, fashion and beauty related brands)? What kind of offer is most likely to excite people who are distracted and busy at an event?

Would appreciate any tips and tricks!
