Membership programs are a powerful tool to increase ticket sales, drive donations and boost loyalty. With ThunderTix's membership management for the performing arts and live events, you can easily handle member sign-ups, automate renewals, and offer a range of exclusive benefits that keep patrons coming back and bringing new customers to your theatres.
Why Memberships Matter
Membership programs are more than just a revenue stream; they are a way to build a community around your events. Here are some key benefits:
- Increased Loyalty: Members feel a sense of belonging and are more likely to attend multiple events especially when incorporated as part of a season pass or packaged event series.
- Boost Ticket Sales: Offering exclusive access or discounts to members can drive ticket sales for your events. Seamlessly built with our discounts and promo codes, you can create BOGOs, percent or dollar off, day-of-week coupons, and so much more!
- Enhanced Engagement: Members are more likely to engage with your events, share them on social media, and take advantage of any guest discounts for friends they bring along.
- Predictable Revenue: Automated renewals are both time saving, and they ensure a steady income stream, allowing for better forecasting and even marketing for upcoming events.
- Donation Potential: Many members are willing to give back to organizations, and with our built-in options for donor campaigns, your members choose the fundraising goals most important to them. (We even send automated thank you letters!)
