Enticing past members to re-join – schemes that help to meet participation targets.
How sports and recreation membership bodies use (and should use) social media.
How to engage with members to improve retention and loyalty and relieve acquisition marketing.
Supporting clubs to ensure their proposition meets the expectations of existing and future members.
Collaborative storytelling – how resource-struck marketing teams can achieve greater impact by mobilising the support of members and strategic partners.
