2. Membership Onboarding

When onboarding new customers to your membership program, one of the best things you can do is follow up with them via email.

You not only want to make it easy for users to become members and onboard onto your system. But, by reminding people about their membership, they’re more likely to stay up to date on your products and their value; thus, they will be more likely to convert.

By automating this process, you can ensure that they are put into the onboarding process every time someone new signs up and incentivized to stay engaged.

The emails are more relevant, which helps increases engagement. 

Here is where rightsizing plays a significant role.

4. Thank You and Notification

It’s easy for online customers to feel distant from the companies they shop with, so creating a “thank you” automation is a great way to humanize your company and provide a personal touch. 

This small gesture provides your customers with a sense of appreciation and satisfaction. 

There are several moments when you should trigger a “thank you” automation: 

  • When someone subscribes to your list.
  • When someone makes a purchase.
  • Someone donates.
  • Someone provides feedback.
