How to turn referrals into revenue with Acquire in Ignite Engagement

Most clubs spend hours every week chasing new leads, following up on trials, and tracking referrals. But what if your member app could do all that for you?

Acquire, a feature inside Ignite Engagement that helps fitness clubs grow automatically by turning referrals and trials into memberships. It’s one of the most valuable tools for clubs that want to grow faster without adding more to their team’s plate.

What Is Acquire?

Acquire is the growth engine built into Ignite Engagement. It helps clubs simplify and automate the entire journey from referral to membership, all inside your app. Members can send invites, prospects can start trials, and new members can join instantly. No forms. No follow-ups. No waiting.

It automates the entire referral → trial → conversion journey so your team can focus on what matters most: creating great experiences, not managing admin.

“Think of it as growth that runs quietly in the background while your team keeps doing what they do best.”

Why it matters

Manual referrals and trial conversions drain staff time and slow down growth. Acquire takes those processes off your plate, helping your club grow profitably while your team focuses on experience, not admin.

Here’s what that means for your business:

• Drives efficiency: Automation replaces manual sales steps. Prospects can sign up and pay without staff involvement.
• Increases profitability: Converts leads faster with no added labor. Trials turn into conversions. Referrals become real leads. Members can invite friends right from the app.
• Lowers acquisition costs: Automates trial and sign-up workflows for steady, scalable growth. Growth happens automatically. The app follows up with trial users until they join.

It’s automation that directly impacts your bottom line. Acquire runs in the background to connect every step of your growth loop.

The result? More conversions, less manual work, and a smoother experience for everyone.

Why clubs love it

Acquire brings together the two things every operator wants: automation and profitability.
Instead of depending on staff to chase every lead, your app quietly does the heavy lifting, so your team can focus on members, not admin.

• Save time by automating referrals and trial follow-ups.
• Boost revenue through higher conversion rates and consistent lead flow.
• Enhance engagement by giving members an easy way to bring their friends along.

It’s smart growth that scales without extra effort.
