billing payment communication

Hi,

We are curious how other companies communicate to their customers about billing payments.  Even though we send confirmations telling someone that they will be charged 1/2 the subscription now and 1/2 on XXXX date, we seem to get a lot of calls from people when the 2nd payment is charged.  Does anyone send reminder emails or some other communication informing the customer that you will be charging their second payment?  Any information, thoughts or useful tips are appreciated!

Thanks

  • The Science Museum doesn't do subscriptions, but we confirm/ invoice schools and groups. We expect a call two weeks out to confirm numbers and pay. If confirmation and payment don't occur, we call them. We have considered doing auto-renewing memberships, but have shied away.
