Hi Toni Our first Jelly at Fruitworks had 3 people. 2 of which were friends who came down to support us (and provide social proof) and one was a new person, who subsequently signed up as a £75 monthly member! So they do work.
Our Jelly yesterday (2nd one) had 5 new people show up. 4 just signed up today and the 5th is signing up when he comes back from holiday! I'm so impressed with how open days work that I'm tempted to have one every 2 weeks instead of every month. Thanks, Liam Gooding --- Fruitworks Cowoking.
