Client Touchpoint Strategies You Can Run in Fynancial
Every advisory firm already has a touchpoint strategy. Most just never wrote it down. Some advisors check in when something comes up, some send a monthly note to everyone, and the client experience ends up depending on which advisor a client happens to have.
Firms that make the strategy deliberate tend to get more out of it. Research from Kitces links clear, intentional touchpoint strategies with stronger revenue per client. More touchpoints can drive value, but efficiency matters. Standardized communication scales reach. Personalized touchpoints deepen the relationship.
Most firms land in one of three patterns. Each one can run entirely inside Fynancial. Pick one, build a hybrid, or evolve as your client experience matures.

The Three Touchpoint Models
Personalized Low Touch
About 10 touches a year. Lean communication focused on individualized care. Consistent, but not constant.
- Send individual Messages for milestones or targeted updates
- Schedule occasional Posts or Messages to all clients or a segment
- Add timely content to Featured Resources to support seasonal planning
Personalized High Touch
20+ touches a year. Frequent contact, individual messages and intentional segmentation. Clients feel seen year-round without needing more meetings.
- Create monthly check-in Messages and schedule them to priority tags such as A-tier clients, retirees or business owners
- Deliver tailored resources each season through Resource Templates in the client app
- Use Scheduled Posts for market updates, planning prompts or new service offerings
Standardized High Touch
20+ touches a year. Frequent standardized messaging and shared client experiences. Built for scale across a larger client base.
- Schedule monthly newsletter-style Posts to a large segment or the full book
- Schedule webinars, education sessions and appreciation Events for registered clients
- Use Featured Resources and recap Posts to reinforce key takeaways after events

Choosing a Model
Start from the experience you want clients to have:

- Scale and reach: start with Standardized High Touch
You're not locked in. Many firms blend models by client tier.
Bringing Your Touchpoint Strategy to Life
Step 1: Define your service model
Decide how clients should experience your firm. Choose the model that fits your capacity and your promise: Personalized Low Touch, Personalized High Touch, Standardized High Touch, or a tiered approach for different client segments. Be clear about what ongoing value looks like in your practice: how often you connect, in what formats and for what purpose.
Step 2: Build your client service calendar
Turn the model into a client service calendar:
- When each touchpoint happens: monthly, quarterly, seasonal or annual
- The format: Message, Post, Event or Resource
- The audience: all clients, specific tags or individuals
That calendar becomes the blueprint for consistent, intentional communication.
Step 3: Run the calendar in Fynancial
- Schedule recurring updates in Schedule → Posts
- Send targeted check-ins through Schedule → Messages
- Add webinars, education sessions or appreciation events in Schedule → Events
- Pre-load supporting content in Resources or Featured Resources
Once your first quarter is scheduled, your service model is live. Clients start experiencing your strategy in a consistent, predictable way.
Next step: set a consistent outreach cadence your team can keep →
