Start with the account, then choose the message.
Separate members who are eligible to renew from people who have already renewed, declined, moved away or need individual help. An unpaid balance and an unfinished renewal are different situations. Check both before choosing an email. Include households on an approved payment arrangement only when the message matches that arrangement.
Refresh the audience before each send and remove completed renewals from outstanding-renewal reminders. Send one relevant message to the appropriate household contact instead of repeating it to every family member. Keep communication preferences and any recent conversation with your team in view.
Replace the bracketed fields with your club’s details. Use a real renewal date, a working account link and a monitored reply address. Remove any sentence that does not match your membership rules.
