There are not so many membership management
software programs in the market that can be described as reliable. That means
you have to research for an hour or two or even days before you can get a
software management program that can serve you well. Your best bet is to take your time to search
for that software that will make your work easy. With the software, you can be
sure of the following perks.
Custom fields
Customizing your membership database with
data and information that you need means you can save time and money. It makes
your work easy. It does not end there. With custom fields option, you can
.customize fields that can only be accessed by the admin. You can also do the exact opposite and create
fields that can be accessed by members signing up. You will of course, be able
to see what members’ key in on given fields and make the necessary corrections.
Smart member search
Accessing some details can sometimes be
hard. You may not have enough information to key on fields and fish out what
you need to access. Not so with a good membership software. Key in a
few keywords, the name or names of who you want to search for on your data base
and you get results within the shortest time possible.
Mailing lists
This is where newsletters and other scheduled
info come into the picture. The main perk here boils down to the fact that with
a mailing list on your software, mailing thousands of email recipients in one
go becomes a walk in the park.
Membership applications
Payments and anything to do with money is
always a sensitive issue. Members will always want to sign up with ease, within
the shortest time possible and still have the peace of mind that their private
details are safe with you. Online
renewals and new membership sign ups should therefore be painless and easy.
Another perk here has everything to do with
upgrades and downgrades. Members should be able to downgrade to whichever level
they wish if you offer tier based services. This should be done with minimum
effort on your side. The process should then automatically downgrade or upgrade
the member. All you have to do on your end to monitor the entire process to
establish if you are making profits.
Be sure to go for a software that makes it
easy for your members to know whether their upgrades and downgrades have been
successful. This should be done with confirmation emails complete with links
that work.
Analytics on the go
This is important for all business people.
You will certainly want to know the progress you are making. Go for a software that makes it easy for you
to see membership statistics, membership renewals, financials and recent
membership sign ups. You should be able
to access all these and more from your handheld devices. Then of course, insist on security measures.
That is, your members should feel safe providing you with their sensitive
information.
