Check-In for Membership Tracking Program

Membership Tracking Programs Can Enhance Revenue With Little Administrative Work

, , ,

For sports facilities, a membership tracking program can be a critical tool. With so many different aspects of membership that make it difficult to track manually, eSoft Planner’s membership manager can be incredibly beneficial. 

Payment Plans

One essential component of memberships is payment plans. With our membership management features, we can give the customer the option to choose between annual or monthly dues. We can also track both successful and failed payments. Due to this, you will need to have an easy way to manage your membership payments. Through our membership tracking and reporting program, you can easily identify failed payments. When membership payments are not able to be processed, the discounts and service credits can also be suspended, ensuring that members are not able to utilize membership perks until payments are made. 

Membership Perks

Facilities will offer additional perks to their memberships, whether that is through discounted services or service credits. Without a membership tracking program, it becomes almost impossible to track membership credits used versus credits available. It also makes it difficult to ensure the customer receives the proper discounts. 

With eSoft Planner’s membership tracking, we can automatically apply discounts to members. Also, membership credits for different services can be issued on a monthly basis. Our system will automatically apply the assigned discounts to a customer’s profile, track when member credits are used, and how many credits a member has left. The membership management module also ensures that the credits and discounts are validated through payments. It will suspend the discounts and service credits when a member payment is not processed, ensuring members can not enjoy membership perks without paying for them. 

Access Control 

Some facilities choose to offer memberships that grant customers the ability to visit the facility at any time, similar to how a lot of gyms operate. To gain access to the facility, you must have an active membership. How would you be able to validate who has a membership without a membership tracking system? 

Through our manager, you can have members check in at the front – whether through a membership card or last name. Employees can easily check in customers and validate whether the customer has an active membership. Member check-in can also offer many benefits: identifying failed payments, tracking the number of visits customers make, and tracking the time of day customers come in. This benefits the facility by identifying the busy and slow hours based solely on member check-in.

Many facilities are also moving to a 24/7 open-access environment. With our access control program, customers are able to receive a code that allows them to access the building for their scheduled rentals, without requiring workers to be physically present each time. 

Conclusion

Membership tracking programs can be insightful for how to successfully manage your memberships. From tracking payments to offering perks with your membership, it will allow your facility to learn about their members’ interests and patterns, so they can improve their facility for those members.

Soccer Memberships: The Number One Revenue Generator and Programming Idea for Sports Facilities

Your facility probably already sells custom sports training packages for your clients’ specific goals. But in order to keep a regular cash-flow, you need to be promoting sports-specific monthly memberships.

Ongoing memberships provide a dependable source of revenue for your sports facility and provide your clients with a convenient, consistent training option. Many of our clients are quick to adopt the ideal model for batting cage facilities. This promotes their long-term hitting memberships with reduced prices. By promoting their six-month memberships, the facility maintains a consistent revenue even throughout their slow season.

Any facility with open space can multi-purpose to include soccer training as well – you don’t have to have a full-sized soccer field.

Using memberships for soccer players can enhance the experience. You can adopt a series of benefits for members. Offer semi-private classes (six players max) led by experienced trainers. Drills and games regularly employed by college-level players to train and improve the technique and skill of their athletes. At the higher level, you can offer a premium Elite Soccer Training Membership that includes access to sports performance classes in addition to access to the sports-specific soccer classes.

To give you an idea of the variety of classes that your facility might offer to make your memberships more attractive to clients. Here are some class structures we developed with a client to enhance a soccer membership package.

Passing and Receiving/Turning Class

This class teaches the fundamental techniques of passing, turning, and receiving the ball with all surfaces of the foot. Passing and receiving is one of the most important skills in the game of soccer. In this class, athletes work on their first touch with the ball on the ground and in the air, different ways to turn with the ball, and the correct passing technique. Athletes will also learn the reasoning behind using different surfaces for passing and receiving.

Dribbling and Shielding Class (Moves in 1 v 1 & 2 v 2 Situations)

In this class, players learn the proper mechanics of dribbling using the inside, outside, instep, and sole of the foot. Players will also learn how to run top speed with the ball and change direction, while keeping the ball under control. They will also learn shielding, an important skill needed to retain the ball under high pressure.

Juggling and Heading Class

This class teaches the proper techniques associated with the different methods of heading the ball. Players learn to keep their eyes on the ball and head it in various scenarios. Such as for clearing, scoring, defending, and possession.

Shooting Class

In this class, players learn the fundamental technique to a power shot and a finesse shot through a variety of drills and games for all skill levels.
