By Liz Hill & Brian Whitehead
Pub Directory of Social Change 2004 ISBN 1903991501 £19.95 [£23.51 inc p&p]
Membership is now widely considered to play an important marketing and developmental role for organisations within the not-for-profit sector. This then is a must-have book for everyone who currently runs, or is contemplating setting up, a membership scheme. Using their proven knowledge on the subject of marketing and development the authors hone in on all aspects of successful membership schemes within the voluntary sector. Peppered with case studies demonstrating both the range of uses for membership schemes and their potential benefits, it covers everything from devising, marketing and managing, to evaluation and the legal and financial aspects of running a scheme.
The case studies, strategically placed within the appropriate chapters, act as powerful examples of innovative membership schemes. They enable readers to gain an insight into how these ideas might translate to their own organisations and how to make full use of the internet and other resources to capitalize on fundraising potential. Accessibility and incentives are covered, ensuring membership managers/administrators can respond to their members’ needs and requirements. And with many long-established schemes in existence the final chapter appropriately focuses on change. For those battling with colleagues or boards who doggedly resist change there are plenty of useful ideas to help with the process of proposing, planning and implementing pain free and effective change.
