BRANCH

First-visit benchmark

The first visit is not the retention event.

A reliable baseline separates first-visit attendance from the next booking, repeat participation, membership conversation, and reactivation. Use those cohorts to find where a good first experience fails to become a routine.

Transparent assumptions. No member data required.

Operator tool

Make the invisible gap specific.

01

Define first visit

Separate trial, intro, guest, and existing-member attendance before combining cohorts.

02

Measure visit two

Choose a fixed return window and track the next booking, attendance, and time to return.

03

Connect to membership

Keep membership conversion separate from visit-two behavior so the actual leak remains visible.

Bring these answers into a private Branch preview to turn the assessment into an operator-specific workflow.

How to use the result

Turn a number into one testable operating decision.

01

Define the population

Write down who the number describes, the event or period, and which records are included or missing.

02

Separate modeled and observed

Calculator outputs are modeled from entered assumptions. Observed outcomes need a named source, date range, and reliable state definitions.

03

Choose one intervention

Use the result to select one question, reminder, booking path, or return workflow instead of changing every stage at once.

04

Recheck the outcome

Repeat the same measurement after the intervention and report the limitation. Do not upgrade a directional signal into causal lift.

BOUNDARY

Planning math is not proof of lift

The output is a starting point for a baseline conversation. Verified improvement requires a defined cohort, reliable attendance truth, and an approved comparison.

NEXT STEP

Choose the smallest useful workflow

Bring the result into a private Branch preview around the specific question, no-show risk, or repeat-participation gap it exposed.

Questions operators ask

Clear answers before the next action.

Is this a Branch customer benchmark?

Not automatically. This asset is a transparent planning or self-assessment tool. Any observed benchmark must include a defined sample, methodology, date range, and approval status.

What should I do with the result?

Choose one leakage moment, then create a community to review a private Branch preview around that workflow.

Does using the tool contact members?

No. The public tool is for operator planning and does not contact community members.
