Streamline Your Tiered Membership Options For New Members
An increasing trend is to offer different membership levels and billing cycles that are convenient for members. For example, you may offer a standard and premium membership with the option to pay monthly, quarterly, or yearly. No matter how many levels you have, you can easily promote the various membership levels clearly on a single page.
Offering tiered membership allows new members to choose from a variety of levels that might fit their needs and for the price point they’re comfortable with. Some members prefer to pay monthly while others prefer to pay annually. As you try to meet your members with differing needs and if you offer or plan to offer different levels, Membee can keep it automated for you.
Different Setup Per Membership Level
To start, you’ll need to know which membership levels you want to offer. The foundation for capturing these new memberships is through a signup form – you can set up as many as you need!
A sign-up form has one workflow where anyone who joins with that form will be set up with the same settings automatically.
For example, if you have a standard and premium membership, every new member will be set up with:
| Standard | Premium |
|---|---|
| Annual membership Login activated No directory listings Tailored email for Standard members | Annual membership Login activated with a premium role Directory listings created Tailored email for Premium members |
| Total of 2 sign up forms | |
How To Display The Different Levels On Your Site
If you only offer one billing cycle, such as annual billing, you can display your membership levels on one streamlined page with the price and a button to sign up for that particular level.
One of our Membee Complete clients, Collierville Chamber of Commerce, displays the following breakdown on their membership tier page for easy sign-up:
Offering Annual & Monthly Billing
If you offer different billing cycles such as monthly and annual memberships for all your membership levels, this would require additional forms for each cycle. Membee can bill in the following cycles:
- Annual
- Semi-Annual
- Quarterly
- Monthly
Using the same Standard and Premium membership example, the following now applies:
| Standard Annual | Standard Monthly | Premium Annual | Premium Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual membership Login activated No directory listings Tailored email for Standard annual members | Annual membership billed monthly Login activated No directory listings Tailored email for Standard monthly members | Annual membership Login activated with a premium role Directory listings created Tailored email for Premium annual members | Annual membership billed monthly Login activated with a premium role Directory listings created Tailored email for Premium monthly members |
| Total of 4 sign-up forms | |||
How to Display Different Billing Cycles on Your Site
While you may have a handful of sign-up forms to ensure the automated signup process sets up their profile correctly each time, this can still be streamlined to display on one page.
You can display the different levels and offer the different billing cycles as buttons to the corresponding form:
