Style Chat #01 — Why Free Fashion Events Attract the Wrong Crowd… Or No Crowd At All

Watch the Video

Join Sable Williams, founder and digital event marketing specialist of Sequin Soirée, for the debut episode of Style Chat, a weekly conversation exploring what really drives connection in fashion, beauty, and lifestyle events.

This week's discussion dives into one of the most relatable struggles for event hosts: when guests RSVP with excitement, but never actually show up. Sable breaks down what she's learned about emotional buy-in, trust, and timing after hosting her own virtual and in-person events, and why a weak social presence can have the same effect as an empty seat.

Conversation Topics:

  • Why free events attract curiosity, not commitment

  • The psychology behind "dopamine RSVPs" and drop-offs

  • How social proof and consistency build trust long before your guest list does

  • When it's time to charge admission and when it's better to keep things invite-only

  • Why a visible brand presence online directly impacts real-world turnout

Whether you're planning a fashion pop-up, panel, or networking mixer, this conversation will help you understand what truly gets people to show up and stay engaged.
