Blueprint

radius Managed Community Retainer (7-10 days)

A productized retainer where the agency builds and runs a client's local Radius community: branded group, recurring event calendar, RSVP and waiting-list automation, and monthly attendance reporting. Priced at $300/mo against $15/mo Pro or $0 Free, the margin sits in delivery labor, not software.

Prerequisites
  • Client has a physical location, recurring audience, or local practitioner base willing to attend events
  • A named client-side contact who can approve event copy and venue details within 48 hours
  • Existing member list (email or CSV) ready for import, or a plan to seed the first 25 members manually
  • Agency account on Radius with the client group created under the Free tier to validate fit before upgrading
  • Agreed event cadence (weekly, biweekly, or monthly) and a 90-day calendar outline
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Create the client's Radius group with name, location, and category, then confirm the Free plan's 100-member and 2-organiser caps against the client's projected audience
  • 2.Import the client's existing email list and send the first member invitations
  • 3.Draft the group profile copy and event template the client will reuse for every session
  • 1.Publish the first event with title, date, time, and location, and enable RSVP limits plus the waiting list
  • 2.Turn on event reminder and scheduled emails so confirmations go out without manual follow-up
  • 3.Test the RSVP flow end to end from a member account before announcing
  • 1.Build the 90-day event calendar and publish the next two events on the client's behalf
  • 2.Embed the Radius event widget on the client's website and share the .ics calendar subscription link
  • 3.Set up the group data export (ZIP) routine so the agency holds a portable member record
  • 1.Review the Free tier's 100-member ceiling against actual signups; if the client is trending past it, move the group to Pro at $15/month for unlimited members and group analytics
  • 2.Add a third organiser seat on Pro so the client's staff can co-manage events
  • 3.Configure private group settings if the client wants member-only visibility
  • 1.Run the first live event and capture attendance against the RSVP list
  • 2.Export the attendance data and format it into the monthly report template
  • 3.Log no-shows and waiting-list conversions to tune the next event's RSVP limit
  • 1.Draft the monthly operating cadence: two events published, one reminder sequence, one attendance report
  • 2.Document the client's approval loop for event copy so the agency can publish without a live call
  • 3.Set the retainer scope boundary: what the agency publishes versus what the client supplies
  • 1.Deliver the first monthly attendance and growth report to the client
  • 2.Walk the client through the Radius admin view so they can see RSVPs and member counts themselves
  • 3.Confirm the next month's event dates and lock the publishing schedule
  • 1.If the client runs more than one local group, open the Network plan conversation for organisation-level billing and centralised group management
  • 2.Prepare a multi-group proposal with per-group event cadence and a single consolidated report
  • 3.Close the retainer with a signed 90-day scope and the first invoice
$0 to $15/month in Radius platform cost per client group (Free tier for groups under 100 members and 2 organisers, Pro at $15/month for unlimited members and group analytics), plus agency labor of roughly 8 hours setup and 2 hours per month, billed to the client at $300/mo.7-10 days
ROI Logic

The platform cost is $15/month at most per client group on Pro, or $0 on Free, while the retainer bills $300/mo for roughly 2 hours of monthly delivery work. That spread is the entire margin: the agency is paid for event publishing, RSVP management, and reporting labor, not for software licensing. At three client groups the agency clears about $855/mo in gross margin against $45/mo in Radius fees, and the Network plan's organisation-level billing keeps multi-group clients on one invoice.

Deliverables
  • Branded Radius group with custom profile, categories, and a reusable event template
  • Published 90-day event calendar with RSVP limits, waiting lists, and automated reminder emails configured
  • Website event widget embed and .ics calendar subscription link for the client's audience
  • Monthly attendance and member growth report built from the Radius group data export
  • Documented publishing cadence and client approval loop for the ongoing retainer
Definition of Done

The client's Radius group is live with at least two published events, automated RSVP and reminder emails firing, the event widget embedded on their site, and the first monthly attendance report delivered and accepted.
