Members who feel looked after.
An organiser with time back.
That's Member Care
We run your member communication in the tools you already use: your newsletter, the welcome for new members, renewal reminders, win-back, event comms, list upkeep and a one-page monthly report. You approve anything before it goes to members.
Thirty minutes, no charge, no deck.
Member Care is our marketing package, worded for organisations with members. Run a business with customers instead? See the marketing packages.
What changes
Your members hear from you every week.
You never write another newsletter
Member experience is customer experience, applied to the people who belong to your organisation. Here is what it changes, on both sides.
Who it's for
Organisations whose income depends on members coming back and renewing
Membership businesses
Members pay to belong, so every renewal is the business.
Associations and clubs
A small team, or a few volunteers, looking after a lot of members.
Paid communities
People stay for the people and the rhythm, and drift when it goes quiet.
Coaches and course creators
Your next program and your next intake depend on the people already on your list.
Training organisations
RTOs with students and graduates who should hear from you between courses.
Studios with members
Yoga, pilates, dance, fitness and creative studios on memberships and class packs.
Sound familiar?
The people are the best part.
Keeping in touch with them is the hard part
Organisers are stretched. Members drift quietly, renewals turn into a scramble and the newsletter eats your evenings. Pick the one that sounds most like your week.
“The newsletter eats my evenings.”
- What is really going on
- The newsletter gets written last, after everything else, so it goes out late, rushed or not at all.
- What Member Care does
- We write, build and schedule it on a steady weekly or fortnightly rhythm, in your voice. You read it and say yes.
- What changes for you
- Your evenings back, and a newsletter your members can count on.
“Renewals are always a scramble.”
- What is really going on
- Renewal is one invoice and a few rushed reminders, so members decide without being reminded why they joined.
- What Member Care does
- A renewal run-up that starts early, shows members what their year gave them, then makes renewing easy.
- What changes for you
- Renewals that arrive expected, with far less chasing.
“New members join, then we never really see them.”
- What is really going on
- The welcome is one email, then new members get the same newsletter as everyone else.
- What Member Care does
- A welcome journey over the first few weeks: what to do first, who to meet and an easy first win.
- What changes for you
- New members settle in sooner and feel part of it.
“People drift away and we only notice once they've gone.”
- What is really going on
- Nobody owns the quiet member, so the first sign of trouble is a lapse.
- What Member Care does
- A gentle note to members who have gone quiet, and a kind win-back for those who lapse, sent while the decision is still forming.
- What changes for you
- More chances to keep people, and an open door for those who left.
“Our list is a mess.”
- What is really going on
- Old addresses, duplicates and people in the wrong groups, so messages miss or reach the wrong people.
- What Member Care does
- Monthly list upkeep: bounces, duplicates, new joiners and groups kept tidy.
- What changes for you
- The right people hear the right thing, and you can trust your list again.
What's included
Seven things, looked after.
Every month
How it works
A setup first.
Then it runs every month
Setup happens once, in the tools you already use. After that, Member Care runs every month.
Map your member year
When members join, what's on across the year, when renewals fall and where people tend to drift.
Build the welcome journey
A warm first few weeks for every new member, set up to send on its own.
Build the renewal journey
Reminders that start early and make renewing easy, plus win-back for anyone who lapses.
Set your newsletter rhythm
Weekly or fortnightly, with a look and regular sections that suit your members.
Write, build and send
Each newsletter, event and campaign drafted in your voice, sent to you to approve, then scheduled.
Tidy and report
List upkeep every month, and a one-page report on what went out and what's next.
You approve anything before it goes to members. You stay the voice they know; we do the writing, building and sending.
What we need from you
Not much.
A kickoff, your tools and a quick yes
You know your members. We'll ask the right questions, then take the work off your plate.
- Access to the tools you already use, and your member list
- A kickoff conversation about your members, your year and how you like to sound
- Your calendar: events, intakes, renewal dates and anything coming up
- News, wins and photos when you have them (we'll ask)
- A quick yes, or changes, on each draft
- One person on your side we can check things with
Questions
Fair questions, straight answers
Do we need new software?
No. Member Care runs in the tools you already use, alongside your membership or booking system. If something in your setup gets in the way, we'll tell you before we start.
Who approves the messages?
You do. Every newsletter and every new journey comes to you first, and nothing goes to members until you've said yes.
Will it sound like us?
Yes. Everything is written in your voice, from how you greet members to how you sign off, and it gets closer every month as we learn how you talk.
Is it just a newsletter?
No. The newsletter is the weekly or fortnightly rhythm. Member Care also looks after the moments around it: the welcome for new members, the renewal run-up, win-back for lapsed members, event and campaign comms, and a tidy list.
Does it replace our team?
No. You keep every relationship with your members. We take the writing, building and sending off your plate, so your people have more time for the members themselves.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how many members you have, how often you send and which journeys you need. We'll agree the setup and the monthly fee in writing before anything starts.
Tell us about your members.
We'll show you what Member Care would look like for you
Thirty minutes, no charge and no deck. We'll talk about who your members are, what you send them now and where they drift, and you'll hear honestly whether Member Care fits.
Rather write first? Send a message.
