The busy season is upon us, and so is the summer weather!
Clubessential is here with a refreshing wave of updates and enhancements for your club management, keeping you cool and collected in an otherwise hot, hectic season. Pay special attention to our newest Essential Suite rollout for spa management — you can’t afford to miss this!
A spa is, by its very nature, intended to be an oasis of relaxation and luxury. But does this atmosphere of calm and ease at your club’s spa begin and end with your services alone? If so, you’re missing out on a seamless process that is necessary to attract, retain, and satisfy your members.
The Power of Integrated Data with the Membership Analytics Predictor
Clubessential’s Membership Analytics Predictor (MAP) is the first predictive analytics tool in the club industry — so you can recruit, engage, and retain members for life.
The fully integrated Essential Suite allows you to seamlessly pull data from your entire operation, including reservations, CRM, billing, and food and beverage. Score members based on their actions, such as what money is spent where, kept or missed appointments, check-ins, and more.
This powerful partnership of data and context provides a MAP engagement score, giving you and your board members the ability to make quick and informed decisions about the utilization of club services and the future of your club as a whole.
Personalize your data diving with custom variables, identify highly engaged members to pair with prospects, and create re-engagement strategies for at-risk members.
Utilize our algorithms and formulas, developed based on real data, to define benchmarks of engagement at your club. We’ve made viewing and reporting on members inside and outside of your desired thresholds easy, allowing you to send automatic communications to member groups you define. Staff will benefit from the ability to instantly view member scores as they engage with them throughout the club.
Take the guesswork out of your decisions with Clubessential’s Membership Analytics Predictor.
