This sounds great!  Of course there is always a difference in percentage
between first year renewals and repeat year renewals (repeaters have a much
higher rate of return).  Can you tell how many of these renewals were sold
last year?  Regardless, I'd say you are doing something right!

Subject: membership renewal rate


I'm preparing an annual report for our society and have found that our
membership renewal rate is 72%. Is this average? Above average? Below
average? Worth bragging about? Our record-keeping was shoddy up until my
arrival here a year ago, so I can't compare the percentage to prior years.

Thanks for your input!
