Membership Life Cycle
— Which Stage Needs Improvement?
When we think about growing membership in today’s world, a few questions come to mind:
-
- How can we recruit members that are more likely to stay?
- What are ways to increase member engagement?
- Are there proven strategies for retention?
Patterns Repeated May Prevent Real Membership Growth
For many membership-based organizations, the bottom line and sustainability are based on member renewals. The pandemic revealed the vulnerability of dependence on dues and events and threatened the livelihood of many organizations. Offers of payment plans and deferred renewals to prevent membership drops were used to show support with the hope these members will renew again. During this time of economic recovery, attracting new members and keeping current ones may continue to be a challenge.
The Membership Life Cycle starts with effectively attracting and recruiting new members. In this competitive and saturated marketing landscape with more people working remotely, this is a greater challenge than before the pandemic.
Increasing first-year renewal rates depends on recruiting and onboarding success. Engagement is linked to retention and though you offer diverse opportunities, members have different ideas of what “meaningful engagement” means to them. Improving renewal rates depends on the success of other stages and using strategies to make it easier and pre-determined.
Your entire team can work collectively to drive membership growth with newer staff adopting effective strategies immediately and seasoned pros sharpening their skill sets!
