About the author: Hi! My name is Olivier and for over a decade now, I’ve been managing a kids’s sports programs in Montreal & Ottawa. I quickly realized that most email marketing tools weren’t designed with our industry in mind. And very expensive as you grow. Let’s take a look at how a sports and recreation-specific email marketing tool can increase the return on investment from email marketing.

How Activity Messenger Improves Email Communication for Swim Schools
📌 Pro Tip: A marketing strategy we now use is to temporarily exclude members already registered for an upcoming session from receiving certain marketing emails. This reduces a customer’s email frequency. Since we started doing this, we’ve seen an impressive impact in improving open rates and reducing unsubscribe rates.
In contrast to MailChimp, Activity Messenger helps you communicate with your swim community beyond email marketing.
Personalize: Add placeholders that will automatically populate with the specific registration details of each recipient.
Schedule: Schedule the e-mail to be sent between 5 and 7 days prior to the start of the session.
Key details: Include key details such as location, start date and time, activity name, and a first-day checklist of items to bring.

As the swim session nears completion, a reminder is important for participants. It helps eliminate confusion. It also keeps everyone informed about the upcoming end of the session.
Increase engagement: Promote the upcoming session and add a satisfaction survey to gather valuable feedback.
Timing: Send out 4 to 5 days prior to the end of the session.
Important details: Clearly state the date of the final class. Include a link to a survey and a call to action to sign up for the next session.
Optional: To celebrate your participants’ accomplishments, include an end-of-session certificate.

📌 Pro Tip: Once we implemented these communication strategies with our community, we quickly noticed a spike in customer satisfaction and retention, and saw customer support emails and calls drop by 40%.
