All points are well taken. First, thank you!
Re: Validation of demand? No, I'm not sure of my demand. Further, I KNOW my market is spread quite thin over the geographic area, however, this is one giant test to begin with so I'm prepared for demand to be non-existent. I've hedged myself against this risk to be able to recoup as much as possible if this tanks in glorious failure.
Additionally, my market (18-30 male) is not a explicit selection but is more just representative of the majority of the groups I'm attempting to attract. There are some channels I will explore that touch the retiree market which is likely more profitable, but also harder to reach through the usual channels I'm used to (online and grassroots meetups).
Re: Flow. I agree the format sucks. However, this version was just updated this morning. This is what I started with: http://cl.ly/3x1n1531162f2H1o1Q1Q http://cl.ly/3x1n1531162f2H1o1Q1Q Was this a step in the wrong direction, you think? I felt it was too sparse on information and didn't provide enough for someone interested but too lazy to get in touch to ask their burning question that's stopping them from registering. Unfortunately, my personal bandwidth is tapped and can't invest in a redesign to test against. Next event.
Re: Text. I'll improve the text rhythm and see about tightening up my copy. I didn't think about the font-size with the design I was given, but it can only help to fix it.
Re: Eventbrite signup fail. Yes, I know. Not aware of a way to do with Eventbrite. There are a lot of things that are short-coming about their registration system. Another reason I'm likely to roll my own and use something like Stripe to process CC next time.
Thanks much for your thoughts!
- hluska 15y agoI don't think this is what you want to hear, but I prefer the first version (ie, picture2.jpg). While there are a few little copy issues, in general, it tells me what I need to know without feeling intimidating. Your new version felt intimidating - I knew I wanted to read it so I could help you, but I was nervous to get started! If you'd like to run your copy by anyone, I've been writing for most of my life. And, my girlfriend is a much better writer than I am. Feel free to email me (I'm pretty sure it is on my profile) and we would be glad to give your stuff a read. Best of luck - this event sounds very cool!!
