Build Rapport With Reminders and Follow-Ups
- In the fast-paced world of fitness, it’s easy for clients to forget about upcoming classes, appointments, or renewing memberships. Automated reminders and follow-ups ensure that your clients stay engaged and on track with their fitness goals.
- For instance, Mark, a busy executive, often struggled to keep up with his gym schedule due to his demanding work life. However, after his gym implemented automated reminders for his classes, he found it much easier to stay committed, ultimately leading to noticeable progress in his fitness journey.
- By leveraging automations, you can provide timely, relevant communication without the manual effort, leading to higher retention rates and a more engaged client base.
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
const button = document.getElementById("template_automation");
if (button) {
button.addEventListener("click", function (event) {
event.preventDefault(); // Prevent the default action of the button
// Function to check if a specific cookie exists
function getCookie(name) {
const value = `; ${document.cookie}`;
const parts = value.split(`; ${name}=`);
if (parts.length === 2) return parts.pop().split(';').shift();
}
// Check for the "lenzvu_session" cookie
const lenzvuSession = getCookie("lenzvu_session");
// Redirect based on cookie presence
if (lenzvuSession) {
window.location.href = "https://www.lenzvu.com/app/automation-templates";
} else {
window.location.href = "https://www.lenzvu.com/start/";
}
});
}
});
Benefits of Automated Reminders and Follow-Ups:
- Increased Attendance: Reminders about upcoming classes or appointments reduce no-shows, ensuring that clients stick to their fitness commitments.
- Improved Client Retention: Regular follow-ups keep your studio top of mind, encouraging clients to continue their membership or sign up for additional services.
- Enhanced Client Experience: 88% of clients stated they appreciate consistent reminders and personalized follow-ups
- Operational Efficiency: Automation saves time for your staff, allowing them to focus on providing a great in-person experience rather than managing schedules and reminders manually.
How to Set Up Automated Reminders and Follow-Ups:
Customize Messages:
- Use your studio’s voice and tone to create personalized messages. Here are some examples:
- Class Reminder: “Hi {first_name], just a reminder that your {class_name} at {class_time} is coming up! We can’t wait to see you there!”
- Membership Renewal: “Your membership is about to expire, {client_name}. Renew now and keep your progress going strong!”
- Follow-Up: “We noticed you haven’t booked a session in a while, {client_name}. We miss you! Book your next class now and get back on track.”
Choose Delivery Channels:
- Determine how you want to deliver your reminders and follow-ups—whether via email or SMS. Consider your clients’ preferences and choose the most effective channel for each type of communication.
Monitor and Optimize:
- Regularly review the performance of your automated reminders and follow-ups. Track metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, and client engagement levels.
Integrate with Other Client Engagement Strategies:
- Combine automated reminders and follow-ups with other engagement strategies, like birthday messages or special promotions, to create a comprehensive client communication plan.
