Enticing new members

Daft question 

It's common enough practice with any business? (cheap insurance for the first year then up it goes, 15 months for the price of 12 for new members...)Why should any business offer something for something you're going to do anyway? I'm not that bothered by losing out on £30. You don't have to re join? I'll pay my fee because I want what the club offers

If you are really that bothered then let your membership lapse and rejoin?

Interesting question ColDeb but you answer with your thread title. 

I suppose if your renewal is due you could let it lapse and then rejoin using your OH as the main member, it might work but personally I wouldn't bother

Nothing wrong in enticing new members, fair play to the club. I'm quite happy to give a new member a 'trial' first night if it means they join our club. Good business sense.

Similarly don't expect anything in return for being a 30 years member - except the window sticker of course!

Hi all

All and any offers that we do are trials and target a certain sector. In the past we have offered site night vouchers to those for example, renewing Mayday breakdown cover/ insurance, those who haven't booked a Club site for a certain period of time, those that have booked lots of sites (as a thank you) as well as new Members. We try not to target the same sector/ market and are equally concerned with retention of our valued Members as we with are attracting new Members.

Enjoy your days.

When are long time members going to get targeted for their loyalty

Are you suggesting that a 45 year badge is not enough

It would be good to have some incentive for continued membership.  I sometimes feel disappointed that businesses, especially insurance companies, seem to encourage folk to swap companies to get a better deal.
