My deputy director has given the directive to increase auto renewing members. She had heard from some source that the industry standard for automatic renewal adoption should be 80% (we are currently at 8%). We may have convinced her that we cannot force people into automatic renewals with only and opt out option, but she is adamant about significantly increasing the Automatic renewers. I wonder if any of you have found a way to grow the Automatic renewals, or if anyone has any feelings about the situation.

    @Meri Grube I'm curious about the reasoning behind the push for more auto-renewals. I get the impression that the higher-ups think it will be a time-saver for staff, but we've found that isn't necessarily the case.

    @Meri Grube  I'm wondering if you have had any success in increasing your auto-renewing memberships. We also are at around 8% and I am wondering if it is reasonable to think that we could double it - say to 15%. I was thinking of offering a discount on the first payment to entice folks to sign up. Looking for anyone who has any ideas around this. Thanks.
