Membership
Cards
Membership cards serve a number of functions for Charities, Membership
Organisations and Associations:
A membership card is normally kept in a wallet or purse and therefore
serves as a reminder to keep in touch. Up to 10% of the UK population
moves every year, and all too often members and donors are lost simply
because you aren't notified.
It then becomes a task and an expense to try and track them down.
How much better to invest a little up-front to encourage members to stay in touch? The simple expedient of providing a membership card
with appropriate contact details to new and existing members will
help this process no end.
By personalising cards with a membership number you will also speed
up the enquiry process. When calling your office, a member need only
quote their membership number from the card, which will enable your
staff instant access to their records.
If you provide your members with discounted services a membership
card can be used as a means of identification. Not totally secure
but more than adequate to identify a member at a check in desk or
till point to redeem a discount negotiated by you.
Of course, these days, it is recognised that the main objective of
any association is to maintain contact over the whole life of their
members. For example Universities are typically presenting themselves,
through their Alumni Associations, as 'partners for life'. Future fundraising opportunities depend on the strength and enduring
nature of this relationship.
Membership cards are a symbol of this relationship and help new members
retain the sense of belonging that is so important in a thriving Membership
Association.
