Tip #38: How to Improve Your Members Navigation Inside the Members’ Area to Increase their Engagement

Improving the navigation inside your members’ area will help your members find the content they need faster, increase their satisfaction and engagement and will help you maintain high retention rates.

In this tip we have:

• Collected 7 different tactics to improve the navigation inside your members’ area
• 7 Wishlist Member dedicated plugins that help you achieve that

Tactic #1: Display The List of all the Post and Pages According to Membership Level / Each Member

By displaying each member a list of all the content they can access, you will help your members find all the content in one place, without the need to search and “dig” throughout the site to find it. You will prevent frustration and increase their satisfaction.

Can be done using: Wishlist Smart Shortcodes

Wishlist Smart Shortcodes allows you to display different types of information, including statistic information, to your members using smart shortcodes. These shortcodes will help increase your members’ satisfaction, engagement and retention rates, and increase your revenues significantly.

Tactic #2: Display “Teaser Content” in Visible Locations

The sidebar is one of the most visible locations, so by displaying teaser content you can attract new members more easily, because when members will click on a link, they will be redirected to your error page. Make your error page like a sales letter and your conversion rates will increase.

Can be done using: Wishlist Protected Content Widget

Wishlist Protected Content Widget displays a “teaser” widget in your website’s sidebar with posts/ pages from any membership level you choose.

When visitors click on the posts to see the content, they are redirected to an error page. Watch Wishlist Protected Content Widget Demo Video
