Private dinners are one of the most effective ways to build relationships with senior buyers. The conversations are high quality, the audience is curated, and trust is created naturally.
The challenge starts after the dinner ends.
Business cards get lost, follow-ups arrive days later, and context fades.
Knock AI turns private dinners into a measurable, high-touch pipeline channel by using Marketing Cards to keep conversations alive and actionable.
Why private dinners need a smarter follow-up
Private dinners are not about volume. They are about depth.
Generic follow-ups break the experience.
With Knock AI Marketing Cards:
- Every guest gets a personal entry point
- Conversations continue after the dinner
- Engagement is tracked in real time
- Sales acts while relationships are still warm
Use a Marketing Card at private dinners
Marketing Cards are ideal for private dinners because they are personal, mobile-first, and shareable.
When to use a Marketing Card
- QR cards placed at the table
- Printed cards handed out at the end of the dinner
- Follow-up messages sent the same evening
- Slides or menus with a discreet QR code
What the guest experiences
The guest scans the QR code and opens a mobile-first, shareable Marketing Card created specifically for that dinner.
The card feels private and intentional. It can include:
- A short, personal note referencing the dinner
- Relevant case studies or examples discussed
- A direct chat with the host or account team using their preferred messaging app
- A meeting booking option when it makes sense
If the guest is not the decision maker, they can easily share the card with other stakeholders while keeping the same context.
Once they engage, the conversation stays open. You can continue the discussion days or weeks later without restarting the relationship.
