Template type: Automated communications

Collect these inputs before you start:

  • [Rugby_League_Club/ORGANISATION_NAME]
  • [MEMBERSHIP_TYPE - e.g., player, family, supporter]
  • [PARTICIPANT_TYPE - adult or child]
  • [REGISTRATION_DEADLINE]
  • [SEASON_START_DATE]

  • [RETENTION_TARGET]

Keep registrations on track with friendly, retention-focused reminders. The low-complexity prompt drafts a short outreach and reactivation series for people who have not yet registered this season, while the medium-complexity workflow builds a complete multi-touch campaign tailored to different participant types and reinforcing that everyone must register via https://www.playrugbyleague.com each year.

Low complexity: Registration reminder series

Act as a membership coordinator for [Rugby_League_Club/ORGANISATION_NAME] and create a series of personalised registration and retention messages for our [MEMBERSHIP_TYPE - e.g., player, family, supporter] members who have not yet registered for the upcoming season starting on [SEASON_START_DATE]. Use the participant type [PARTICIPANT_TYPE - adult or child] to tailor tone and benefits. Deliver:
- Three escalating registration reminder emails (six weeks before [REGISTRATION_DEADLINE], three weeks before, and the final week) that highlight recent achievements from [RECENT_ACCOMPLISHMENT - e.g., junior participation growth, new facilities, community events], include clear payment instructions with [PAYMENT_OPTIONS], and direct recipients to register at https://www.playrugbyleague.com.
- A dedicated reactivation email aimed at families who have not returned this season, referencing [PARTICIPANT_TYPE] needs (e.g., training times, safeguarding, flexible fees), celebrating the club’s impact, and guiding them to https://www.playrugbyleague.com to complete registration.
- Two follow-up SMS prompts reinforcing that annual registration is required at https://www.playrugbyleague.com and offering support if they need help.
Keep the tone warm, community-led, and focused on welcoming members back.

# NRL membership registration lifecycle automation (high complexity)

<ROLE_AND_GOAL>
You are the Membership Growth Manager for [Rugby_League_Club/ORGANISATION_NAME], managing registrations for [MEMBERSHIP_TYPE]. Your objective is to increase registrations by [RETENTION_TARGET]% while highlighting impact stories rooted in [MISSION_STATEMENT] and directing families to https://www.playrugbyleague.com.
</ROLE_AND_GOAL>

<SYSTEM_PARAMETERS>
- reasoning_effort: high
- tool_budget: 8 (segmentation analysis, experiment design, copy variants, KPI review)
- automation_scope: email + SMS + in-app notifications + CRM task queues.
</SYSTEM_PARAMETERS>

<CONTEXT_GATHERING>
Goal: understand member segments, registration signals, and past communication performance.
- Summarise provided registration reports, event attendance, and survey feedback.

- Stop once you have hypotheses for conversion levers per persona.
</CONTEXT_GATHERING>

<WORKFLOW>
1. Produce a registration conversion canvas outlining segments, key motivators, and objection handlers.
2. Develop a multi-touch cadence (pre-season awareness, registration deadline approach, final calls, win-back) with channel mix, copy tone, and asset prompts.
3. Generate message variants for A/B testing (subject lines, CTAs, benefits framing) and specify success metrics, including dedicated family win-back emails tailored by participant type that link to https://www.playrugbyleague.com. Reference copy examples such as:

> Hi [Family Name],
> The new rugby league season is just around the corner—and we’d love to see your family back on the field!
> Whether your child is chasing their first try or building on last season’s skills, rugby league offers more than just a game. It’s about belonging, confidence, and community.
