Membership at a reduced price

We are looking for a way to give a 10% discount on a membership. We offer a membership for a fixed amount, but we would like to offer the membership with a 10% discount online, and we would like to avoid doing it by using web coding. Does anyone have any experience with discounting memberships and how to process them in Tessitura?

  • I set up all my discount levels as separate levels in Tessitura in the Membership Org. Then you can just tell the web which options to offer. One thing to keep in mind: if you name them for your own use, like I do (eg Household Full Price, Household $5 Off, etc), you'll have to do some web coding to use a display name that you want the public to see.

    Mind you, this setup is 8 years old, which is ancient given all the changes in the past few years. So there may be a far better way to do this.

  • Hi Beth!

    Great minds! I have just been thinking about this as we currently do discounted memberships in a not great way and thought having a different level could work.. and I look here and see that is how you are doing it. We don't offer this discount online and so we can still charge the full amount there. 

    Have you had any problems with having it this way? I really want to do this using more standard functionality rather than the current way we are doing it. 

    Sarah - what did you go with in the end.

  • Hello Kelly,

    We have them set up as separate memberships, which is cleaner in some ways but leads to more management when we then want to move them off the discounted type (i.e. if it was a special offer for Christmas).  What have you gone with in the end?

    Best,

    Sarah
