What is a Consecutive Membership?
A 'Consecutive Membership' is a membership that is purchased by a client who is already on an existing plan. This newly purchased consecutive membership will start immediately after the client's current membership ends.
Why use Consecutive Memberships?
'Consecutive Memberships' are a great way to retain clients. If you sell a client a new membership in advance of their current one ending, you have guaranteed another week/month/year of revenue from that client, bringing your CLV up. (Customer Lifetime Value)
Some examples of this are;
- Free Trial > Recurring Membership
- Fixed Term Plan > Fixed Term Plan
- Fixed Term Plan > Recurring Membership
- Recurring Membership (with an end date) > Fixed Term Plan
Requirements for Consecutive Memberships
- The clients' existing membership must have an end date.
- The 'Consecutive Membership' can't be a restricted plan, i.e., a weekly membership with two credits per week.
- Consecutive memberships cannot have the 'charge on the 1st of every month' setting enabled.
Please note;
- You can stack as many 'Consecutive Memberships' together as you need
- Clients can't book into a 'Consecutive Membership' before it starts
- You can cancel a future 'Consecutive Membership' without it affecting the existing membership plan
- 'Consecutive Memberships' are also available in the Glofox Pro app
- 'Consecutive Memberships' are not available for clients to purchase on the Member App or Web Portal
How to set up Consecutive Memberships
To set up a 'Consecutive Membership' from the dashboard follow these steps;
