Help first-timers thrive
RBFF research shows that first-timers:
are 2x more likely to lapse than repeat anglers
are more likely to renew if they fish frequently
Churn rates average 40%. (Ouch)
They are our future
Why Target First Time License buyers?

No fishing license purchase in past 5 years
Have an email address / most likely purchased online
20-40 years old (60%), urban (80%), male (77%) (based on current angler database)
Only 10% of license database are first-time purchasers in last 5 years. Need more recruitment efforts.
