Customer retention is key for subscription-based businesses. Retention can be boosted through tactics like segmenting customers, building relationships, empowering customer service reps, and focusing on the first 90 days ("on-ramp") when customers are most likely to defect. Measuring metrics like renewal rates and customer lifetime value can help optimize retention strategies. The document provides examples of SugarCRM's best practices for retention, including personalizing the initial customer experience and implementing a customer advocacy program for ongoing support and engagement.

This document summarizes water supply and demand projections for a water agency through 2035. It analyzes the agency's baseline supply and demand under normal weather conditions, and identifies potential supply shortages during dry years. The document evaluates the agency's existing water storage and conveyance infrastructure and identifies needs to improve system performance and reliability. Metrics and thresholds are established to determine when new infrastructure or supplies may be needed to address risks to the system from high conveyance utilization or low delivery reliability. Near-term and long-term options are considered to address identified needs and ensure a reliable water supply for the region.

Este documento discute el papel creciente de los blogs y periodismo ciudadano (periodismo 3.0) en la sociedad. Los blogs ya no solo comparten información, sino que también influyen en los medios tradicionales al exponer errores e incluso forzar renuncias, como se ilustró en casos como los de Dan Rather de CBS y Eason Jordan de CNN. Los bloggers ahora actúan como vigilantes de la calidad de la información y garantizan la responsabilidad de los medios.

Turning acquisition on its headNTCities

��

The National Trust's acquisition policy prioritizes properties that are nationally important for their natural beauty, natural or historic interest, and that ownership by the Trust would provide public benefit. The Birmingham approach turns this policy on its head by beginning with community engagement to understand what is significant to local audiences and developing concepts that might lead to acquisitions. It redefines significance in terms of modern urban heritage, emphasizes people's relationships to place over the properties themselves, and aims to attract large urban audiences through partnerships.

Learning from GAPNTCities

��

The Green Academies Project provides formal training, wider engagement opportunities, and apprenticeships for youth focusing on conservation and the natural environment. It started in 2009 with 2 formal partners and has since expanded to 8 partners and working with over 20 local organizations. The project has exceeded targets for accreditations, volunteer participation, and apprenticeships while raising additional funds and making improvements to national trust sites and urban green spaces. Challenges include capacity, accessibility, funding changes, sustaining partnerships, and planning for a changing climate. Learning outcomes include understanding urban communities' relationship with nature, practical conservation skills, partnership working, opportunities for social change funding, and growing support.

Birmingham2NTCities

Birmingham has experienced rapid population and physical growth over the past few centuries, expanding from a population of around 1,500 in 1550 to over 1 million by 2001. This growth has resulted in the incorporation of surrounding towns and villages into the city boundaries over time. However, the rapid changes have also led to a loss of a shared sense of place and identity for some long-time residents as the places they once knew have been altered or absorbed into the growing city. There is now a disconnection between old and young residents, as well as between the city center and outer suburbs, highlighting the challenges of maintaining a cohesive identity for a large metropolitan area that is constantly evolving.

The document discusses green spaces and parks across the United Kingdom, organized by region. It outlines various parks and green spaces in the North West, Midlands, East, and London. It then discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the National Trust focusing on urban green spaces. Different models for delivering and funding urban green space projects are explored, including partnerships, licensing agreements, memorandums of understanding, and facilitating access. The document concludes that the next steps are to better understand current conversations, fill in a mapping exercise, and create a position paper focused on the deficit in urban green space and community infrastructure.

Communications NTCities

1. The study aimed to conduct 200 household interviews in Birmingham neighborhoods B11 and B12 to gather baseline data on awareness, behaviors, and attitudes toward the National Trust. 2. Awareness of the National Trust was low, especially among Asian respondents, though awareness of some local sites was higher. Most respondents claimed to know little about the National Trust. 3. Behavioral findings showed that few respondents visited countryside sites, historic houses, or engaged in adventure sports in the past year. Attitudinal data found passive interests in subjects like gardening but little active participation.

Manchester - Jo PughNTCities

Suburban families in Manchester represent a large potential audience for the National Trust but they have low existing knowledge of the organization. Market research found they see the Trust as focused on rural areas and not necessarily family-friendly or fun. Recommendations include improving the Trust's geographical presence in suburban areas, promoting its value for rainy days, making activities more fun, and appealing more to children who influence family visits.
