Joining a sports club should be an exciting yet straightforward process for everyone involved. With the cost of living at an all-time rise, sometimes the cost of club memberships can potentially be a barrier. Membership fees need to reflect the needs of the club but also keep a balance of what members can realistically afford.
With the rise of online tools and smart thinking, it’s possible to give everyone the opportunity to join your club while keeping consistent revenue coming into the club. Here are 4 ways your club can offer multiple ways to make your memberships more accessible.
1. Setting Discounts
Giving discounts can be a great way to attract new members or retain existing ones. For newcomers, you can set an early bird discount for those who sign-up before a certain date to get membership fees in before the start of the season (win-win for both). As for long-term members, you can set loyalty schemes that offer discounted benefits to strengthen your member retention.
Clubforce online membership tool makes it easy to apply these incentives, where you can set up discounts for various membership or event categories.
2. Bundle Plans with Discounts
Bundling plans together with discounts is another great way to make your club memberships more appealing. This opens the door for more families to join your club if you offer a family bundle discount. It also allows for members to join more than one activity within your club and become an all-round member.
For example, you can bundle a basic membership with access to special training sessions or social events, all at a discounted rate. This not only provides added value to your members but also helps increase overall membership uptake and engagement within your club.
It takes less than 5 minutes to bundle plans together with Clubforce online membership.
3. Offering Instalments
The ability to spread the cost of membership over several months can make a huge difference for many potential members. By giving the option to pay membership fees in smaller, more manageable amounts, you can make it easier for future members to join and remain part of your club. Instalment plans can help alleviate the financial burden of a lump-sum payment, making your memberships more accessible to a wider audience.
Clubforce online membership enables clubs to offer flexible payment options, including instalment plans.
