Golfmarketing voor abonnementsverlengingen:
Creëer campagnes en monitor resultaten gedurende de gehele abonnementsduur

De Renewal Manager is een online platform waarmee marketing- en salesteams een verlengingsmarketingstrategie kunnen ontwikkelen en implementeren. Gebruikers hebben de mogelijkheid om verlengingscampagnes op te zetten en kunnen, gedurende de gehele abonnementsperiode, de resultaten bijhouden, aanbiedingen testen en aanpassen op basis van de behaalde responspercentages.


Hoewel het primaire doel van verlengingsmarketing klantbehoud is, biedt het ook een kans om de omzet te verhogen door verbeterde producten en bundels aan te bieden.


De gebruikersinterface van het webplatform maakt het eenvoudig om aantrekkelijke aanbiedingen te creëren en het doelpubliek te selecteren voor elke verlengingsreeks en inspanning. Met behulp van golfmarketing zorgen we ervoor dat abonnees alle mogelijkheden krijgen om hun abonnement te verlengen. Bij elke golf kunnen er aanbiedingen worden gedaan, variërend van vroegtijdige verlengingskortingen tot speciale upgradekansen. In elke verlengingscommunicatie kunnen meerdere aanbiedingen worden opgenomen, zodat abonnees kunnen kiezen welke aanbieding het beste aansluit bij hun behoeften.


Naast de aanbieding zelf zijn de boodschap en het medium net zo belangrijk. Door het toevoegen van afbeeldingen en opgemaakte tekst wordt de communicatie interessanter. Marketinggebruikers hebben de mogelijkheid om het uitvoerformaat te bepalen en de resultaten te testen.
