How can you use these tools to convert clients?

Leverage automation to nurture leads 

One of the most powerful features of the Mindbody Marketing Suite is its automation capabilities. Automation helps you maintain consistent communication with potential clients, ensuring they stay engaged until they are ready to commit. 

• Welcome emails: Set up a series of welcome emails to engage new leads who sign up for your newsletter or introductory class offer. Introduce them to your studio, highlight unique offerings and encourage them to book a class.
• Follow-up sequences: Send automated follow-ups after a lead’s first visit, offering incentives such as discounts on a membership or a package deal to encourage their next booking. Your intro offer sequence should be one of your first automations you create—it allows you to nurture clients through their intro period and then upsell them to the membership or class package options that best suit their needs.
• Appointment reminders: Reduce no-shows by automating reminders for upcoming classes, ensuring your schedule is fully utilized. 

Smart marketing 

With the Smart Marketing tools in Mindbody you can fill last minute spots, offer limited time specials and encourage your clients to refer their friends. A few of the highlights include: 

• Limited-time promotions: Create a sense of urgency by promoting limited-time offers that encourage quick decision-making.
• Referral programs: Encourage current members to refer friends by rewarding them with discounts or freebies when someone joins through their referral. The referral program feature allows you to send messages letting referred new customers have a special deal and also enables you to encourage your loyal clients to refer more customers with special offers for them for multiple additional referrals.
• Boost: Noticing a slow fill rate for a class or a workshop? Give it a boost and bring in clients who are likely to enroll with a special offer. 

The strategies necessary to retain your clients

• Birthday and anniversary messages: Send personalized greetings and offers on special occasions to make members feel valued and appreciated.
• Class recommendations: Use client data to recommend classes or services that align with their interests and goals, enhancing their experience.
• Feedback requests: Regularly solicit client feedback after they attend a class or appointment, then use this information to improve your offerings.

Utilize your intro offer conversion data to see if your customer journey and pricing model are aligned. 

Upsell and cross-sell 

Capitalize on existing relationships by offering complementary services or products. Use automation to introduce clients to additional offerings, such as private sessions, merchandise or nutrition plans, that complement their current engagement with your studio.
