Categories

When it comes to expanding your membership options, creating a new membership category can be a great way to attract a wider range of individuals or groups. 

A new membership category allows you to tailor your offerings to specific demographics, interests, or needs.

Identify the Target Audience: Determine who the new membership category is intended for. Consider their needs, interests, and what benefits they would value the most.

Define Membership Benefits: Decide on the specific benefits and privileges that members in this category will receive. This could include exclusive access to certain facilities, discounts on services, or specialized resources.

Set Membership Fees: Determine the appropriate membership fees for this category. Consider factors such as the value of the benefits provided, the cost of providing those benefits, and the pricing strategy of similar organizations.
