How do I get people to remember?

Question

Here's the situation. I'm a very sociable guy. I'm out at least once a week, usually twice, sometimes 3 or 4 times. Therefore, I also know a lot of people. I love going out in big groups, networking, introducing friends to other friends and such, so whenever I go out I wanna invite everyone I know. Now, the easiest way to do this is by cell phone. But it costs money. Just to send the initial email about whatever is I'm doing probably costs about $6 each time. This doesn't include writing back to people with questions. Not too much to spend for one event, but for 10, 15, 20 a month? Adds up. So what I do is, I send an email once a month detailing everything I'm gonna be doing for that month. Big money saver but... what happens is I get people emailing asking me what I'm doing that month, or I get people saying "you never told me what you were doing." Any suggestions on how I can get people info that they'll remember without having to spend too much money?

I have a mobile with unlimited text. That's not the problem. The problem is each email costs money, and I don't want to switch phones at this point. Though that's a viable option in the future.

While computer email is a good idea, I didn't include it as a solution because my access is limited; it's a pain to get on the computer several times a week, not to mention respond to everybody via computer, consistently.
What's a landline?

I don't do any regular events, so that wouldn't work, but good idea.

Answer 1

Two suggestions:

1] Use Evite.com which allows you to store a distrobution list and sends out reminders automatically.

2] Hit a regular schedule so people can learn through repetition. For instance "The first Friday of the month is movie night at the Regal". They will remember is because it will be a habbit.

Answer 2

People have crazy schedules that no other people can believe. Use regular email (no extra charge) or use the real phones (remember them) or send a note in the mail (old fashioned like). Many people will never remember them, only the ones who put it high priority or miss out on enough of them! I finally put a final notice email to people and did not remind them again. They are adults and shouldn't have to be reminded of everything ....unless you enjoy being their parent.

Answer 3

Use regular email and have them call you for details. Or, just tell people you run into to invite people for you, friends you know they hang out with.

Answer 4

Dude get a mobile plan with unlimited text ()

Answer 5

how about picking up a landline..

Landline: a regular old home telephone.

Answer 6

Just get a cell phone and if that's all your using it for it wont be expensive at all....
