Creating or modifying a client retention campaign

A client retention campaign is a type of automated marketing campaign that can be used to maintain communication with your at-risk clients. There are four types of client retention campaigns:

• Retention – An email, SMS message, or push notification sent automatically when a client hasn’t visited your business in a specified number of days or months. This campaign is designed to keep your clients engaged with your business.
• Few Pass Visits Remaining – An email, SMS message, or push notification sent automatically when a client’s session pass drops below a specified number of sessions. This campaign is designed to encourage clients to purchase a new pass or upgrade to a membership.
• Pass or Membership is Expiring – An email, SMS message, or push notification sent automatically when a client’s session pass or membership is nearing its expiry date. This campaign is designed to encourage clients to renew their membership. This campaign isn’t sent to clients whose Purchase Options are set to auto-renew.
• Upcoming Pass or Membership Renewal – An email, SMS message, or push notification sent automatically on a specified number of days or months before a client’s pass or membership is scheduled to renew.

To send an SMS message or push notification with these campaigns, see Customizing automated notifications.
