Include players information with Mailmerge

Canva excels at creating stunning designs, but to personalize your tennis certificates in bulk, you’ll need a tool like Activity Messenger. Using a mailmerge, you can pull information from a list or, even better, from your player’s progress reports.

Create Personalized Tennis Certificates:

When designing your certificates, include placeholder fields that automatically populate with each student’s level, progress, and personal information. This ensures that each certificate is customized to reflect individual improvement.

Where to pull player’s information

You can gather tennis student information from various sources, such as registration forms, uploaded lists, or online progress reports.

Here are some key details that tennis academies might include in a certificate:

  • Name of Student
  • Date
  • Tennis Coach
  • Tennis Academy Name
  • Recommended Placement
  • Tennis Skill Level/Type

📌 Pro Tip: Having worked with numerous tennis academies and sports clubs, I’ve found that the ability to issue personalized certificates in bulk is a game changer. This method allows academy owners to efficiently recognize each student’s achievements while saving time and ensures that everyone feels recognized and appreciated.

 

 

 

Share the certificate with players and parents

Once your certificates are ready, Activity Messenger makes distribution effortless.

Different Ways to Share Your Certificates:

  • Print and Distribute In-Person: Mass print the certificates and hand them out during classes or competitions.
  • Digital Distribution: For a modern approach, send certificates digitally. Use our platform to create emails or SMS messages that automatically fill in each student’s details, making the process seamless and efficient.

📌 Pro Tip: As an operator, I value collecting feedback. Including a feedback form with their personalized tennis certificates at the end of the session not only helps recognize student achievement, but also provides valuable insight into how your instructors are doing.

 

 

How certificates can help your Tennis Academy grow

Issuing personalized tennis certificates can greatly enhance the growth of your tennis academy. When players feel recognized for their efforts, they are more likely to develop a long-term commitment to your program.

This approach not only improves retention rates, but also turns your athletes into ambassadors for your tennis club. Encourage your students to share their achievements online by running fun contests. For example, they can win a free session by posting their certificate on social media and tagging your academy. This strategy can increase engagement and visibility and help your academy grow.

📌 Pro Tip: When we implemented an automated end-of-session reminder that included a personalized certificate for each player, we received great feedback from parents. They shared how excited their children were to receive the certificates, often displaying them on their refrigerators at home or sharing them on social media. By including our logo on the certificates, we got excellent exposure both online and in our athletes’ homes, increasing our organiations’s visibility and word-of-mouth.
