<h1>Creating Messages</h1>
<p>Keep your event community informed with FairUp's messaging tools. Send to individuals or groups — right from the dashboard.</p>

<h2>Message types</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Individual message</strong> — to a specific person</li>
<li><strong>Blast</strong> — to all attendees, all exhibitors, or a segment</li>
<li><strong>Scheduled</strong> — compose now, send later</li>
</ul>

<h2>Creating a message</h2>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong>Messages</strong> in the navigation bar</li>
<li>Click <strong>New Message</strong></li>
<li>Choose recipients</li>
<li>Write subject and body</li>
<li>Send immediately or schedule</li>
</ol>
<p>💡 <strong>Pro-Tipp:</strong> Schedule reminder emails 1 week and 24 hours before the event. Automated reminders reduce no-shows by up to 40%.</p>

<h2>Best practices</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Keep it short</strong> — people skim on mobile</li>
<li><strong>Include a clear CTA</strong> — "Add to Calendar", "View Event Page"</li>
<li><strong>Personalize</strong> — use the attendee's name</li>
<li><strong>Don't over-send</strong> — max 1-2 per week</li>
</ul>

<h2>FAQ</h2>
<p><strong>Can I see who opened my message?</strong><br>Yes — check delivery and open rates in the Messages section.</p>
<p><strong>Can attendees reply?</strong><br>Replies go to your organization's email address.</p>

Compose and send messages to attendees and exhibitors — individually or in bulk.
