Want your site to be a great advertisement for your Meetup Group?
Here are some excellent ways to define your Meetup's mission
statement, showcase your activities and set expectations for new
members:
*Make your homepage stand out! Change up your banner, Meetup Group
photo or description monthly to feature holidays, fun themes or
upcoming activities.
*Fill your homepage with information that not only explains what
your Meetup Group's about, but also that demonstrates what's
happening within your Meetup Group. Use pictures and logos in the sponsor box
to
advertise upcoming events, a question of the week, polls...or feature a
weekly newsletter. Fun features on your homepage will catch the attention of potential members, and help keep your current members
active and informed.
Making your homepage as informative as possible attracts the kinds
of members you want, and helps you set expectations as Organizer. It
also demonstrates how much you care about your Meetup Group!
Weekly newsletters promote your activities, encourage members to RSVP, and will bring members back to the site more often.

Informative too!
