A great membership onboarding experience

The Customer Team for Customer Happiness and Customer Service are often asked questions regarding how best to communicate with new members. We rarely receive inquiries from customers about how to include newly acquired members. It sets the tone to engage and welcome new members to your business and creates an excellent impression for them on their first visit. Here are four key elements we've identified to make sure that new employees are at home right from the start.

A lot of my negative experiences I've had in dealing with customers are due to poor instruction or the absence of details on what the client must do when signing in for their first sign-up.

The clients I work with inform me to presume that those that are brand fresh don't know how necessary to use the program that they've purchased. This is addressed in two different methods:

Create a memorable redirection page that outlines specific future steps, or reminds users who are brand new to the website to check at their email accounts to see if they have an invitation to join the group which will address the questions prospective members might be able to. (This could seem like a trivial project, but a lot of customers fail to spend enough time and effort to do such a page.)

Informing members of new content is made available, as well as providing them with information on the ways to access this information.

From my personal experience, the majority of instances where auto-renew is stopped shortly after signing-up can be attributed to inadequate onboarding and the lack of relevant information.

2. The future preview of content along with the potential benefits

Another strategy that is effective is to send previews of contents of members as well as other benefits before they're made available. Members can get something they're excited about and also 'wait' for.

It is done by creating email marketing campaigns that concentrate on customers who joined within the last couple of months (that you are able to specify via the customer).

3. Social engagement

I've advised a few customers to share their followers' names on social media. It has had a positive impact on the new members get noticed and prospective members view the social proof as being 'positive'. It's a win-win.

Another way of achieving this is by asking the new members to reply to the welcome message using their Instagram handles or their Facebook accounts to have an opportunity to be a part of getting a shout-out. The clients we work with may utilize the social proof app called FOMO that is integrated with Stripe and shows pop-ups on their website pages.

4. The members who have joined are eligible to receive support in the process of establishing equity

Asking new members the type(s) of information they'd like immediately makes them feel as an integral part of the group. If they are offered this type of input, and are willing to reply with the inputs, it can aid in building trust immediately. This could be accomplished via email inviting members to reply in the form of a welcome note.

Conclusion

The things that a consumer is in a position to build an immediate personal relationship with their customer is an important factor in retention. This also leads to increasing profits over time. That's the reason it is more likely that a member will be open to an idea of increasing the cost to give greater value in the future.
