Getting the group to actually say yes is the hard part

Put Chicago up against one or two other options and send everyone a private link. They say if they're in, which dates work and a budget only Trip Pulse sees. You get the pick that keeps the most people in.

  1. Start with Chicago already filled in with typical prices.
  2. Add a second option or let the group suggest one.
  3. Send it: $2 per person, $8 minimum, never more than $20.
