Every membership business deals with this problem. It\u2019s frustrating and sometimes discouraging, but it\u2019s a normal part of the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ihr Mitgliedsunternehmen hat bereits eine <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/de\/blog\/membership-site-retention\/\" title=\"\">Strategie zur Mitgliederbindung<\/a> festgelegt, richtig? Warum also nicht auch eine Strategie f\u00fcr ausscheidende Mitglieder entwickeln?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we will explain a few things you should implement into your membership site\u2019s processes to help you successfully win back your lapsed <g class=\"gr_ gr_9 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"9\" data-gr-id=\"9\">membe<\/g>rs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Geben Sie ihnen etwas Raum<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s natural to panic when you discover you have a lapsed member, and it\u2019s also natural to immediately jump on your email to try and reach out to them. However, this isn\u2019t always the best idea and it can actually do more harm for your membership site than good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, give them some space. Perhaps there was an error with your customer\u2019s card or bank information, or they just couldn\u2019t afford the membership at the time. Give them at least a few days to have some space, and then reach out to them. Let them know about new member benefits, services, or <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/de\/introducing-memberpress-courses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Einf\u00fchrung in die MemberPress-Kurse\">Online-Kurse<\/a> die Ihre Mitgliederseite hat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Heben Sie die Vorteile Ihrer Mitgliedschaft hervor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apropos Mitgliedervorteile: Eine weitere gute M\u00f6glichkeit, Ihre Mitglieder zur\u00fcckzugewinnen, besteht darin, sie an all die tollen Dinge zu erinnern, die Ihre Website zu bieten hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create a list of all of your membership benefits and explain to them in detail so your members can understand just what they\u2019re missing out on. And the great thing about this is that you can keep the email as a template and add to it for future reference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eine Umfrage zum Austritt von Mitgliedern erstellen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ein ausgezeichneter erster Schritt, um ausgeschiedene Mitglieder zur\u00fcckzugewinnen, besteht darin, herauszufinden, warum sie \u00fcberhaupt ausgetreten sind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wenn Ihre Kunden diese Umfragen ausf\u00fcllen, f\u00f6rdern Sie die Zusammenarbeit mit den ausgetretenen Mitgliedern und finden gleichzeitig heraus, was sie dazu veranlasst hat und wie Ihre Website verbessert werden kann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can then use this information to email these members to let them know that you\u2019ve heard what they have to say and that you\u2019d love to have them rejoin and experience the great benefits that your membership site has to offer or let them know about updates and tweaks to the membership business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Angebot eines Verl\u00e4ngerungsrabatts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jeder liebt Rabatte, warum also nicht diese M\u00f6glichkeit nutzen, um die Kunden Ihrer Mitgliederseite zur\u00fcckzugewinnen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schicken Sie ihnen vielleicht eine E-Mail, in der Sie ihnen mitteilen, dass Sie ihre Mitgliedschaft wirklich sch\u00e4tzen und dass sie ein so gesch\u00e4tzter Kunde sind, dass Sie bereit sind, ihre Verl\u00e4ngerungsgeb\u00fchr zu reduzieren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t necessarily have to discount membership renewal; you can discount a product, tickets to an event, or a webinar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bieten Sie eine erweiterte Testphase an<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eine weitere gute Idee, die Sie in Ihre R\u00fcckgewinnungskampagnen einbauen k\u00f6nnen, ist das Angebot einer verl\u00e4ngerten Probezeit f\u00fcr die Mitgliedschaft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bieten Sie Ihren Mitgliedern 30 zus\u00e4tzliche kostenlose Tage ihrer Mitgliedschaft an, um sie daran zu erinnern, was sie verpassen, wie z. B. einen kostenlosen Inhalt oder zus\u00e4tzliche Zeit in einem Kurs. Das h\u00e4lt Ihre Mitglieder bei der Stange und bringt sie sogar dazu, ihre Mitgliedschaft vor Ablauf der Probezeit zu verl\u00e4ngern!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Abschlie\u00dfende \u00dcberlegungen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary goal of a membership site owner is to successfully retain members for as long as they can, so when a membership lapses, it\u2019s a scary situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But keep in mind that a lapsed membership doesn\u2019t have to be a death sentence for your business. Create a solid strategy to win back your members and you will be sure to keep them in your good graces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wenn Ihnen dieser Beitrag gefallen hat, dann folgen Sie uns bitte auf\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/memberpress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0f\u00fcr weitere gro\u00dfartige Inhalte.
