Don’t offer pricing discounts unless your audiences are EXTREMELY price sensitive or your membership is declining and you’re desperate to get people in the door by any means necessary. Does offering a discounted membership based on time of the year (i.e. Also, when you start offering discounts, you train your members to bad behavior: “Well, I waited to renew last year, and they offered a discount, so I’ll wait again this year and see if I can get another deal.”.

The other day, I received a membership recruitment mailing offering an end of the year 50% off first year dues discount from a respected professional association. And done wisely, a special offer will produce more than enough new members to pay for the discount or premium and future renewal rates will only be marginally affected. With a steep 50% off discount, it is unlikely that the additional response will make up for the lower price.

For instance, you regularly offer a discount or special deal to members to come back after they’ve lapsed and they’ve learned that you do that, so they wait for it. Maybe offer that discount or special deal ONLY to members who renew on the first notice. Ah, the grace period, the bane of the membership profession’s experience. Should we have a grace period at all? How long should it be? I will admit to being a hard-ass about grace periods. My preference is none.
