Amanda’s Marketing Move: Creating a Personalized Email Campaign for Membership Upgrades

Amanda and the team launched their first automated email campaign in January 2022. Their goal was to increase fellowship membership numbers by taking members on a personalized journey. Using Higher Logic’s marketing software, Amanda designed the campaign to include story-level targeting, so that each recipient would see a personal message. The team wanted to include how long that recipient had been a member and how many changes there had been to the association while they’d been a member.

How did it perform? With their personalized email campaign, the team saw an over 150% increase in fellowship member applications!

With the data they get from the campaign, they can see who clicks on what and who’s opening emails consistently. Amanda loves being able to send better, more effective, more engaging communications that increase value for members.

Words of Encouragement

For those of you who are feeling tentative about trying something like this, Amanda felt the same way. She said, ‘Seth Godin, entrepreneur and marketing guru once said, “If it scares you, it might a good thing to try.” It certainly scared us. And we did give it a try and we’re still trying it.’
