WOW ....You can run Our Membership Management Application in:

1. Windows (standalone locally, from server, or rich view, as below, in browser)

2. Mac  (standalone locally, from server, or rich view, as below, in browser)

3. iPad (rich view as shown below in landscape)

Initial Member Maintenance Screen

You could add an actual picture by either dragging an image to the "Member Picture" area or, on the iPad, just tapping the "Member Picture" area and taking a picture that would be saved there!

On the iPad, you can dictate text by tapping the microphone button and then speaking. Dictating text instead of typing would help you save manual data entry.

(Note: Dictation options exist for Mac and Windows too.)

Payment Required

Should the membership need maintenance (a due payment, for example), the system alerts you with a color coded display.

Also, the Renewals window (see below in the "Renewals" screenshot) will automatically have all payments due in a report.

Useful ToolTips

Useful tooltips appear when you hover over certain screen elements (like the "Last Payment Date", as shown below) to help you get member information without leaving the current screen.

Renewals

Renewals screen shows all current, and overdue, renewals for Active Members.

Shown below is that you can also email or print reminders to members. For each renewal, you can decide whether to print or email.

However, the system displays the email button for a renewal only if the email address is filled in on the member page.

The system can also print mailing labels for printed reminder letters.

The system sorts the renewals by oldest to newest payment date.

The system could also automatically print or email based on an additional member preference (preferred contact type). Due to some additional system complexity, however, unless requested, that capability is not currently implemented.

Member History

The system stores each membership event to a history, or transaction, table.

You could then use this historical membership information to generate reports or for other marketing.  

Notice that you still have the option to print (or email) a receipt from this screen for any payment event.

We could add other fields to this table (server version) as needed.

Optional Receipt

After adding a history record by clicking the "Paid!" button on the member form, the system gives you the option to print a receipt or just click or tap "OK" to close the dialog.

(As shown in the screenshot above, you can always print a receipt later if needed, or not at all.)

System Defaults

The system lets you set defaults for most data values and it's easy to add more!

Marketing/Promos

Although not shown in the this document, given the detailed member information captured, it would be straightforward to create promotions or emailings to a particular member or to a group of members. The system could also print that promotional letter and a label (if desired) if no email address were present for a particular member.

Since actual promotions and other marketing efforts are entirely custom to a client, we did not attempt to show any here.

An example promotion might be: "Give me a list of all members who have been a member for at least two years, but are only monthly members". Perhaps you would offer an incentive to convert them to yearly members.

It's also worth noting that the software shown here can be tailored to a particular customer's needs. We could easily update the server version of the software for "cloud customers", that is, those customers using our server version.

Thanks for reading the information here.
