Advanced Starter Kits: Membership Marketing is Easier Than Ever

Higher Logic Thrive’s Advanced Starter Kits combine the power of successful, proven strategies with content prompts that jumpstart your member communications strategy. It’s time to automate your email campaigns with confidence.

Automating your membership marketing helps you save staff time and gives you the power to personalize your messaging to drive higher member engagement. The hard part can come from changing your mindset from the “way you’ve always done things,” and finding the time to plan and implement updated campaigns.  

Maybe you’re thinking about launching some automated email campaigns, like an automated member onboarding series, but you’re not sure where to start. Maybe you have a small team and a seemingly never-ending to-do list. And whether or not you’ve set up an automated campaign before, you might feel unsure of what workflow to use, what members to send to, or what content to include.  

Higher Logic Thrive provides associations with Advanced Starter Kits, directly within our Higher Logic Thrive products, to help you jump-start your marketing automation and craft a strong membership marketing strategy. You can use these kits to create some of the most common and impactful association email campaigns without needing to be an expert. 

The kits combine best practices with knowledge learned from our own customers’ campaign successes, to help you write the content and design the ideal automated workflows. We’ve worked with thousands of associations on their marketing and membership communications. We know what drives impressive results for associations and where they hit roadblocks. Based on our insights, we’ve designed these starter kits to simplify the entire campaign process so you can customize and launch your campaigns in no time!
