For who?

Even though a membership program can be useful for a lot of event organizers, certain types can particularly benefit from it:

1. Clubs and Venues: Memberships for clubs, event venues and concert halls that regularly host events can help increase customer retention and engagement. They can implement discounted prices but also a membership to pay in advance for several events.
2. Collectives: Using a membership can help collectives to federate their community and create a sense of belonging by giving restricted access to early bird tickets and also merchandising exclusives.

What are the benefits?

• Customer Loyalty and Experience: Using a membership for your customers will encourage them to become loyal. With exclusive benefits (discounts, restricted access, private events…), you can maintain a stronger connection with your community.
