Customer Retention helps you retain your customers and increase sales by creating automated targeted messages to individuals in specific segments. These segments set requirements on how a member must have behaved to receive a message. A segment could for example include people who:

  • Bought a trial week but didn’t buy a regular subscription afterwards

  • Attended an event but hasn’t bought a subscription

  • Hasn’t visited the facility the last 8 weeks

  • E-mail

  • SMS

  • Push-notifications (require the push-notification license)

  • MailChimp

  • Marketing activity (to send an activity for staff to perform, i.e. call the person)
