This case study revolves around a half-century-old nonprofit organization that offers a blend of advocacy, information, and member discounts. The organization was grappling with criticism regarding excessive communications deployed to encourage membership renewals and updates.
The Renewals team hypothesized that these issues were tied to the perceived value and benefits of membership. The organization sought to comprehend the factors driving value and experience for their most loyal, retained members.
However, the organization's ability to construct a member-centric view was hindered by disparate systems, fragmented datasets, and communication silos. This complex infrastructure posed significant challenges for understanding and improving member experience.
The team carried out a thorough evaluation of all member communications, offers, preference management, and information services to gain a clear understanding of the customer experience from initial sign-up to renewal. The team then objectively and analytically assessed the impact of these initiatives on a member's likelihood to engage and renew, as well as the timing of renewal.
They benchmarked their findings against industry best practices pertaining to strategy, experience, customer management, and metrics/measurement.
To further understand the characteristics of the most loyal members, they developed an attribution model. This model provided a segment-level view of customers who were most likely to renew, based on factors such as engagement, services used, and content consumed.
A strategic roadmap was created, outlining 12 key initiatives related to customer management, integrated experience planning, analytic/measurement models, and digital tracking. This roadmap highlighted the potential to achieve a 15% cost reduction in renewal expenditure by optimizing the member experience. The initiatives aimed to streamline operations, enhance customer engagement, and improve the overall understanding of member behavior.
