Note: We originally summarized this topic in a YouTube video in December 2023. This article was fully updated in 2026 with fresh research and an improved welcome email template.
Here’s something most membership groups won’t tell you: 60-70% of new members who don’t engage in their first 90 days will never renew. [1]
The problem? They join, get a generic “thanks for joining” email, and then… silence.
In this guide, I’m going to show you exactly how to welcome new members to your group with a proven system that boosts first-year retention by 25-40%. You’ll get copy-paste email templates, a day-by-day checklist, and automated follow-up sequences that actually work.
And I’ll back it all up with data from association benchmarking studies showing that engagement in the first 90 days is the #1 predictor of renewal. [2]
