Nearly 1,000 membership organizations have been created since the release of our next generation Membership Platform, including clubs migrating from the legacy Clubs platform, new Membership organizations, and test organizations. At the heart of Memberships is a simple goal: making Membership sign up and management easier for everyone involved. Today, we’re taking a look at 5 key ways that Membership organizations can make life easier with RunSignup Memberships.
Memberships Makes Life Easier for Club Leadership
1. Content Websites for Your Club
Club websites are important to recruit new members (so they can find the club and understand benefits of joining) and engage current members (with details about events and perks). With Website V2’s intuitive website builder and dynamic data-driven components, it’s easier than ever for club leaders to build and revise their club membership website.

Dynamic data-driven components
Keeping a website updated can be a never-ending task. RunSignup’s data-driven components take care of the updates for you by connecting to your membership data. These include:
Discounted Event Lists automatically displays all the upcoming races that offer a discount to club members.
Event Lists show all upcoming events (both races and ticket events) with quick Sign Up buttons.
Event List can also be used to quickly link to all event results by toggling to “Past Events”.
Members List highlights all your current members, respecting any user’s settings as Anonymous. If you don’t want this information fully public, you can use a Members-Only Page to hide it!
Number of Members and Number of Memberships let you stoke FOMO with up-to-the-minute counts of current members and memberships.
2. Effective Communication
Free and unlimited email marketing makes it simple to create and send emails. Whether you’re sending a regular newsletter, asking for volunteers for an upcoming event, or marketing a new race, Email V2 makes communication a breeze.
List Management with always-updated member lists accessible with the click of a button and unlimited list uploads to manage contacts across your larger community.
Email Builder with mobile-responsive templates and a simple point-and-click interface to create professional, branded email communications.
Image Gallery to save, organize and re-use your images across your emails and website.
View Emails in Browser to get a shareable link to a browser-based version of your sent emails.
Share Templates across your races and save time creating pre and post-race participant emails.

3. Self-Serve Membership Management
Your club members have busy lives of their own, and they deserve a membership platform that’s as easy for them as it is for you. Two simple components can be added to your membership website to empower members to manage their own accounts.
Membership Look-Up for members to instantly look up their membership status (and/or renew).
Membership Self-Serve Portal for accessible self-serve access to updating and editing your own membership.
4. Apple Wallet Race Check-In
Make life easier for the forgetful members in your midst. With RunSignup Memberships, each member gets a member “card” (QR Code) they can add to Apple Wallet. Then, when they later show up to a race but forget their race confirmation email, they can instead simply scan that Membership Card QR from their Apple Wallet. The race does not have to be one organized by your race – RunSignup can recognize what races the member is registered in simply from their membership info.

5. Easy Renewal Options
Limit member drop-off and manual renewal follow-ups with smarter options for renewals. By helping members renew, you keep your members engaged and ensure clean year-over-year data.
Opt-In Auto-Renewal for members to auto-charge their membership in subsequent years. No logging-back-in required.
Renewal Pop-Up to prevent previous members from creating a second membership by reminding them to renew instead.
