Goal

  • Leverage the recent investment in marketing automation to increase year-over-year membership retention.

Challenges

  • New to marketing automation

    The team was excited about the investment in marketing automation, but after several months of low utilization, they were ready to up their game and try something new.

  • Limited access to data

    Due to technical constraints, integrating the legacy database with Act-On was not an option, making extracting and segmenting data a persistent challenge.

  • BIG ideas, SMALL team

    The very creative and driven duo had a list of 10+ marketing objectives. The challenge? Creating a systematic approach to prioritizing and launching initiatives, faster.

Highlights

  • Infrastructure and process

    Configured the Act-On platform, documented the data import and appending protocol and created easy to use High-Conversion Master Email and Landing Page Templates.

  • Strategy and planning

    Together we focused on the most critical objectives to craft an actionable plan of attack.

  • Automated dynamic campaigns

    We profiled members in 5 affinity groups and built an automated ecosystem to serve them relevant content on a quarterly cadence.

“Manu was a pleasure to work with and created a system to engage our members, contributing to an 11% increase in member retention!”
