Outdoor Meetups: Trends

meetup:

It’s time to present the top ten Outdoor Meetup Groups from the past 30 days!

Before we share that though, take a look first at some of the best practices these top Meetups excel at:

•  Eye-catching Descriptions: bullet points and formatting are kinder on the eyes than a brick of text, give a good first impression and are easier to remember. Better descriptions mean more members, and more members mean more RSVPs!
  
  
• Pictures a’plenty: Lots of photos and graphics to liven up the page, and show newcomers and members how much fun you’re having. Learn about using HTML, managing photos in the activity feed and how to add a banner.
  
  
• Multiple Meetups mean more Organizers: The Organizer can’t always be everywhere at once! This means having a strong leadership team is important to host larger Meetups and multiple Meetups at the same time. For Outdoor Meetup Groups in particular, learning CPR, first-aid, or survival skills can be great Meetup ideas for members of your leadership team or interested members.
