Key Quotes & Takeaways:
“The first is to use a subscribable calendar. So there's a fantastic service called addevent.com that enables you to set up an events calendar where you can give the link to your members. You can also embed it in your member area. That then enables them to subscribe to that calendar so that whether they're using Google Calendar, whether they've got the calendar in Outlook, Apple Calendar, whatever it is, the events you add to it will automatically populate that calendar.”
“Set up a subscribable events calendar embedded in a location on your membership website, but also email the link out to your members so they can subscribe to it so that all events that you add automatically get pulled into their calendar.”
“You could actually start it 15 minutes early and have that first 15 minutes exclusively for first-time attendees, whether they are brand new members to your website or just someone coming along to a live session for the very first time. That can be your newbie 15 minutes.”
“People are getting what they pay for because they're using what they pay for. And if people are using what they pay for, they're less likely to go and cancel it.”
