Key Quotes & Takeaways:

“If you're not bringing people into your world, you're not getting traffic, you're not building your followers, you're not building your email list, then there's fewer people to sell to, and by virtue of that, fewer people who join your membership.”

“If you are bringing people into your world, your list is growing steadily, but they're just not joining. We need to reach out and survey those non buyers, find out why they've not joined, find out the main obstacles, and then tailor your marketing in order to preempt those and to overcome some of the issues that might be keeping people from becoming members.”

“At Membership Academy, around about 25 to 30% of people who leave ultimately return within a 12 month period. On average. When we've done our survey, that is tending to be around about 15% across the thousands of memberships that we surveyed, about 15% of people in memberships where they conduct win back campaigns, about 15% of those X members come back. That's one heck of a conversion rate.”

“So once they've been in there for three to six months and they start to get some wins, they've start to feel integrated into the community, they start to feel that sense of belonging, then they might be more receptive to upgrading to annual.”
