Brainstorming

Sample answer from an expert consultant
To improve Premium retention, FlexFit could consider the following tactical actions:
I. Enhance Perceived Value
- Add Premium-only perks: early class bookings, towel service, locker reservations
- Introduce exclusive classes (e.g., Pilates reformer, HIIT, or spin)
- Access to personal training consults or nutrition planning sessions
II. Pricing Adjustments
- Offer limited-time retention discounts for at-risk Premium members
- Create a loyalty tier (e.g., 6+ months = discounted renewal)
III. Communication & Engagement
- Survey recently canceled Premium members for specific feedback
- Re-engage with targeted emails or in-app nudges highlighting benefits
- Show usage stats (e.g., “You used 8 classes this month — that’s a $100+ value!”)
IV. Service Consistency
- Ensure Premium benefits are delivered reliably across all locations
- Train staff to upsell and reinforce value at point of interaction
The goal is to either increase perceived differentiation from Basic or reduce churn pain points in the Premium segment.
